Here's another great pic of boats on Loch Lomond, the place where Stuart's mom lives. We stayed in her house. Such a good hostess!

This is quite possibly my favorite picture as I stare into nothing and I'm so far away from civilization!

Then we climbed up to Dumbarton castle. So many stairs but it was well worth it for the view!

After my driving lesson, we walked on the beach near Ayrshire, the birthplace of the poet Robert Burns.

And then he let me really drive!! (Safely in a parking lot of course, far away from small Scottish children)

It was a fun Mini Cooper, and I got to pretend like I was driving sitting on the left side of the car.

So Monday night I took the sleeper train to Glasgow Central. I absolutely loved this train with my little bed. You all would probably hate it cause it was so enclosed, but I slept like a log and arrived in Scotland at 7:17 am where my friend Stuart was waiting for me with our getaway car!

Tourists look on as the wedding procession goes on. They think it's a royal wedding!

A raven joins us on the grass as we wait to get escorted into the reception hall.

Even though James hates this picture, my hair looks great and we are waiting for food!

Here's the back of my hair! Look at that hair accessory!

Dawn and Mark pose for pics after the ceremony.

Beefeaters stand at the front of the wedding with their pikes.


Beefeaters line up to escort in the bride.

Hello! I made it to London safe and sound and the wedding yesterday was the coolest ever! Here are some pics to tide you over before i get home. There were so many silly english hats that I fit right in!

Also, the 7-Eleven on 42nd street transformed itself into a Kwik E Mart as a marketing campaign for the Simpsons Movie. Chad and I went, took pics, and bought Squichees, and Buzz COLA!

Hi All! Finally some pics of my studio apartment. These are a bit old, and things have been scrubbed down. So be on the look out for the after pictures!

Good news everyone! I am in my studio apartment and have cleaned until bleach sweat from my pores. I am slowly getting used to my non luxury apartment, but it is mine all mine and I have to slowly start buying stuff for it like curtains, and more cleaning supplies. It's not very glamorous, but it will feel like home in no time. I never cleaned so much in my life! First thing I needed was a shower curtain, next will be curtains! Good thing my windows look onto a brick wall.

Pics to come soon!

Hello,

Sorry I have not posted in forever, but I have just been completely consumed by finding a new apartment for July 1st. I have had FOUR apartments fall through, and time is ticking. I am currently packing all my belongings with nowhere to go, but I am hopeful tomorrow I will get a call from my jerk broker telling me that I got approved for my own studio on 43rd and Lex. My own place! I'll keep you posted with pics and everything!

Hey all,

So I got my promotion and it is official. My new title is "Associate Corporate Category Development Manager." What a mouthful!

Also, James got the invite for Mark's wedding in the mail. I had him take pics of it!

Hey bloggers,

Here are some pics from my birthday with friends and coworkers. Woo!





Here's the company front. Magnolia cupcakes for all!


Cheers to Kim at the Belgian Beer Bar!



Started out for Thai food in the West village. Yum!

It's here!

Ahh a day at the races. We trekked out to Queens to the Acqueduct racetrack and spent the day betting on horse races. I came out $4 ahead by the end of the day!

Thanks for my birthday bookcase, Mom! It looks great, was easy to put together, and makes my room look a lot bigger!

I just got out of my second GMAT exam and I laid the SMACK DOWN! Woo!

I got a 680 up from a 610 (which was still a decent score) but now I am definitely at a competitive advantage to get into a top tier business school. This is still a few years off yet, but at least I got this test out of the way! I'll never have to study for this horrid test again!

I'm going to celebrate tonight with a hamburger and diet cokes woo!

Maybe a midouri sour, light on the midouri!

I got free tickets to a Mets game on Wednesday and we snuck down into some box seats. What a view! It's like they were playing just for us.

Also, I managed to score an awesome raise at work. More to come on this!

Hello all,

Great news! I am going to a wedding in the Tower of London in July! I booked my ticket today and I am on the invite list. I'll be in London from July 13-22 with a chance of a small trip to Dublin.

But more importantly, I'll be able to wear a silly hat to this wedding!

Good news! I got an email from on old professor at BU who would like to use one of my project designs in an upcoming book she is publishing!

The objective of the project was to create a design using only lyrics from a song to embody the song. Plus the title and performer had to be named in the project. So here it is! I'll tell you when you can find her book in bookstores!

Hey all, I saw Suze Orman kick off her book tour in NY and I bought her new book Women and Money. It's fantastic so far and I got it signed in Harlem. Don't forget to watch her kick my butt on air in April!

Finally! I got some pics from my friend of me snowboarding!

Hey, All... great news! I am going to be on the Suze Orman show sometime in April! I was chosen because I wrote in about me thinking of buying a $3K watch from Cartier. That's TV gold!

I hope she gives me the smack down and tells me to open up a Roth IRA. But I might have the watch by the time I'm on the show!

Hey all! I went snowboarding at Mohawk Mountain yesterday and I survived! Pics will follow shortly. Snow baording was really fun, but I am in so much pain right now!

Good bye Manhattan! I never see it from this angle!

So Katrina is not able to go to Cairo with me, so instead we ventured out into uncharted territory- Staten Island! We didn't really to know what to expect, something more like San Fransisco for sure. But it was really dingy once we got off the boat. But the ride was fun as we were full of hope for a better life on the other side. We ended up going to the mall there, which was a 55 minute bus ride away from the dock. Who knew SI was so big! Well we got some sweaters on sale. Then it took 2 hours to get home. We are thinking of going on holiday to Atlantic City. Woo!

Here is me ice skating. My friend Katrina has a fun camera that takes action shots. I think I am catching myself from nearly falling in this one.

Diet Cokes were on the house! We got manicures during lunch in preperation for the night.

More pictures from the holiday party

Here is a pic from the Daymon Holiday party. Check out all my wacky coworkers all dolled up.
