alone tonight, paper to write

not much more to go

get me through it, winter-themed Oreos

my *jellyfish*pants* were OUT OF CONTROL!

exhibit A:

[of course this would be what the boyfriend

snapped while in possession of the camera]

the pants are cute, though, huh?

Hee hee!

TOTALLY *jellyfish*pants*,

purchased here.

I couldn't possibly have gone with anything else on my chubby hams!

so confession:

the boyf and I had no

idea where we were going for Halloween Eve!

No clue!

Nada!

Thank goodness it worked out.

We ended up heading to the city and Tomas's buddy's friend [yeah, uh...what??] got us in for a reasonable $30 a pop.

it ended up being a good time,
and everyone appreciated my costume.
gave me some props.

happy HUMPwednesdayHUMP day &
almost HALLOWeeN day, killahs!

my brain no-worky.

i hate when that happens.

*

*

*

to counteract the intense hatred i feel for

my checked-out brain when homework is to be done,

i will post about something

i intensely love & adore:

sesame seeds on my pizza crust.

*

i went with my dad the other day for lunch

[and i never do anything with him]

*
the sesame seeds were abundant and plentiful.

*

they were on the crust of my peppers & onion slice.

*

Joey's in Maspeth, Queens

does it oh so right.

[i like the figurines in the upstairs window]

*

yum.

enjoy your Thurs., cosmonauts

***

work, brain, work. Plllleeeeease function, brain? {{deeeep sigh}} whatever.

*new*

one word post title. new.

i chose it

for a number of reasons,

most below.
some not below.

read on,

then i'd love love love -really & trules- to hear

what's been/what's going to be

new with you.

first,

as said in my last post,

i got a new haircut.

it looks nothing like the hair above, as i was too chicken shit

to go for the bangs, but it is a trimmed version of the way-too-long long-ass layers i was shaggily rockin' for a minute and a half.

**

Ryan, the h'cutter,

did give me some new face-framin' pieces.

[as i type now, the pieces are in my peripheral, and i kinda like it]

*

i also am on the hunt for new knee socks.

the cute kind that i see peeking out from under a tall boot

like here and here and here.

*
i've also been ready for a new cell, and i believe

the lucky winner of that honor is the iPhone 4.

*

howevs,

i want it in white.

*

the boyf & i

are about ready to cave, though.

fuck it. once we go black, we'll never go back

...to another phone???

iPhone4...R U the 1?

after getting my hair cut on friday,

i discovered what i had suspected all last week:::

that

CRUMBS

Bake Shop

would be

my

new

favorite

place for
tasty treats of

love

and

joy

and

unfathomable deliciousness:

the most worth it half-hour drive anyone could make

*

the selection was overwhelming:

*

i ended up going with a *taste*pack*

and a *caramel*apple* cupcake:

*

i wanted to wait 'til i got home to eat it with some

hot,

organic,

green,

blueberry tea,

but i

couldn't wait

& nibbled in the car::

[notice the new haircut?? no?? yeah, it's way subtle, i guess]

*

i bought a notebook with my new favorite piece of advice,

and

looking at this photo makes me remember

that i need to get a new favorite tea mug.

*

this guy,

blogged about here,

fell on the floor

& broke his handle.

*

awww...adios, smiley-face tea mug!

this weekend,

i saw a brand new view of the

New York City

skyline:

one from the top

of Bear Mountain.

autumn & us on top of bear mountain

*

tip tippy top,

fall foliage freeze frame,

breathe in, breathe out
*

oh goodness:

northface // ugg boots

\\

//

\\

//

\\

//

*fall uniform*

*

[i miss my flip flops]

*

the boyf

zoomed

himself & i

through the winding, twisting

roads of upstate new york

on Saturday afternoon:

we even caught my

nana's favorite animal:

...and what excited me was that none of these deer

had antlers, which means they were girls.

i kept saying to Tomas:

"they were having a girl party,

they were having a girl party."

i thought it

was cute, i guess,

because obviously

females of every species need

a break from the men.

;)

speaking of that last thought,

my favorite new show has been

Boardwalk Empire

on HBO.

it grips me every Sunday night.

i think it's really a lot of fun,

and

refreshing,

and i would say "tune in"

but you've

had to have watched the previous weeks

to love it too.

*

anyway,

on last night's episode,

Mrs. Schroeder said this to Van Alden:

"I've been lectured a great deal...by men who speak boldly, but do nothing."

my new favorite quote.

*

also worth mentioning

[although you might think me monotonous

and lame, but i don't care]

is my love for

the ((relatively)) new babies::

they are getting so big,

and they're only 6 months old this week.

*
they're also growing in snuggliness

and are incredibly hilarious.

*

case in point,

this snapshot of them

holding each other

while taking their

afternoon nap:

how could i resist??

this one's a little guilty.

hee hee.

i need to make a new deposit into my

bank account so i can use my

debit card to make an online purchase of these

Boutique 9 Boots and add a new pair

to my fall-shoes-repertoire:

i wanted them in black,

like i saw Maegan have 'em in,

but the place i found them in my size,

only's got grey.

*

i'll deal.

*

i'm pretty sure i HAFF to have 'em.

new music.

two of my favorites have been:

Rhianna's Only Girl in the World

and

Drake's Oh You Fancy Huh

*

yep. on loop.

*

'nother "new"??

in my opinion,

the freshest new

color combo for *FaLL*2010*::

raspberry

& grey

[if you scroll back up to the Bear Mountain pics,

you'll see peeking out from under my Northface

is my raspberry/grey striped sweater

that i wear whenever i can]

*

*
what else is "new"?

the

new bedroom

i've been conjuring up

with my

interior-decorating-expert

of a bitt, my sister.

we eyed this Vera Wang comforter from Kohls

[and when i have her to find the link for me, i'll link it]

gorgios.

finally,

lastly,

in conclusion,

to end,

wrapping up...

my *2010* is ALMOST OVER,

and that means

I working on a new layout/blogging vehicle/title/avenue

for the new blog to be mine come the end of 2010.

****

i can't believe it.

more on that to come.

today's a new Monday of a new week.

what's been//will be new wit'chou??

[i knew you'd read to the end]

the notion above

at several instances throughout my hectic day

as a 1st grade substitute & then an exhausted

I

KEPT MYSELF CALM,
