i believe i could be happy here

do you see all of these black and white photos i just found? do you kno who could be happy here for the rest of her life? well the correct answer is not your friend judy, or your friend bill. NOPE! the answer is me. i have wanted to live here since i was four or five. it would be magical, splendid, infinitely wonderful. do i need more adjectives to describe it? possibly. but i think you're catching my drift.

i love new york city  more than any other place on this planet. i do believe i could be happy here for the rest of my life.

dear little cupcakes, you tiny pieces of heaven

this past weekend my best friend sabra's boyfriend went to new york city...just because he felt like it. jeeze wouldn't that be nice? :) anyways i told him that he MUST get a cupcake at magnolia's and a cupcake from crumb's bakeshop. i told him that magnolia's on bleeker street was a must however because the two magnolia's locations are somewhat different tasting AND the whole experience is different too. seeing as though (and im pretty sure im correct on this) that almost every crumb's taste the same, i didn't tell him which crumb's specifically he should go to.

anyways not only did he go to magnolia's on his first night there...he brought back cupcakes from both places for sabra and i. i am so excited and ecstatic! it was seriously so kind. i have been missing new york city so much lately, so i feel like this little slice of my favorite place on the planet was exactly what i needed to tide me over until summer.

i shared one of the peanut butter one's from crumb's with sabra.  this happened when i went to go pick mine out this afternoon. we couldn't figure out some of the random flavor's james (her boyfriend) had picked out so of course...we smelled tested them. i smelled peanut butter and chocolate mixed together on the one we shared, so we HAD to eat it right then and there :) confession: these cupcakes did turn out somewhat better than mine, but do keep in mind these bakeries have had YEARS and YEARS of cupcake concocting perfection!

now as you can see below, there are many, many, many pictures taken of me with these cupcakes. "WHY DIDNT YOU JUST TAKE ONE OR TWO AND CALL IT A DAY?" you ask. well, the answer to this is that i am somewhat of a perfectionist. i also have a difficult time making little decisions sometimes(...okay a lot of times) so i couldn't just pick one THUS RESULTING in me including (for your viewing and laughing benefit) basically every single picture i tried to take and make just perfect. YOU'RE WELCOME. :)

anyways i hope everyone has been having a fabulous week so far!!! enjoy my amazing (not so much) mac photobooth-ing skills!

new york state of mind

oh my goodness!!! so badly i am craving new york city right now. i will have you know that the big apple is the only place that holds my heart. i could live there and be happy for the rest of my life. if ever a place were to so perfectly describe me it would be NEW YORK CITY! its busy, lively, happy, amazing, eclectic, crazy, mixed up. it holds all the possibilities in the world and welcomes any type of person with open arms. it is THEE perfect place.

there are so many things to do there. one of the things i love most is because if you tried to do everything there is to do in one day, you couldn't because there is something new to do every single day! it could be a new restaurant opening, an event at the park, a market, flower shopping, book signing, movie opening, even just a quick walk around all the blocks you live by its the perfect place. it doesn't matter. there are new faces, new places, and new, exciting possibilities and opportunities that arise to help you PARTICIPATE IN LIFE.

so many people say "well i don't know that i could live there. why would you want to? all the people, all the traffic, the cars, the noise. i could visit but that'd be enough for me."  I DONT UNDERSTAND! why? every time i leave new york city i am always, one hundred percent, without a doubt, yearning for more. ill be living there some day. don't you worry your pretty little faces...its calling my name. its just a matter of time now and i cannot wait for it.

ps. city of my dreams ill be visiting you in august or september. start your countdown now new york city because i have a got a date to see you and all of your wonderfulness. 

xoox

pss. i took all of these pictures on my last visit to the city in august 2009
