Work is incredibly busy but the new company figured some stuff out and I think it's going to be a good place to be this year. Don't get me wrong, my resume is being dusted off and getting a fresh new look but there's a good chance I don't need my walkin' shoes just yet.
On the other had, I'm so busy I don't really know what day it is. I thought last Friday was Monday until I walked out of my office at 6pm. And I was actually disappointed that it was Friday because it meant that I wasn't going to be able to get anything done the following day.
I'm reluctant to become a workaholic - although that's always the lure in sales. Right now I'm having a hard time evaluating whether or not the work load will always be this killer or if it's just due to all of the changes and it will slow down in a couple of weeks. We're only a couple of weeks into a major reorg so it has to slow down. RIGHT?!?!?!
In the mean time there's a chance that I won't have as much time to devote to you. Don't look at me like that, I'm NOT breaking up with you. And even if I were it's not you, it's me.
Really.
Anyway, I spent some time this week in NYC and even though I didn't go for a run through Central Park I did take some cool photos and wanted to share them with you...
The view from my hotel... The glow in the distance is Times Square.
This is the view of my hotel minibar. This bottle is so cute I wanted to drink it. Luckily I know my limitations or I would be dead now.
This is the bar at the Legal Sea Food in Boston. The chowder was delicious!
This is Herald Square...
This is the Mexican Cantina where my cousin and I had dinner. It was FABULOUS! The guacamole was fantastic and they served it with ENORMOUS fried corn chips that probably made me gain 1 pound each.
I really am enjoying my forays into New York very much - even if I am struggling with being away from the kids 1-2 nights per week.
If you have any suggestions for cool restaurants that I should check out in the Herald Square, Hell's Kitchen or Times Square areas let me know!
Have a great weekend!
LOL - When I went to hit publish on this I suddenly realized that tomorrow is THURSDAY not Friday. Did I tell you how messed up I am? Have a great Today, a great FRIDAY AND a Great weekend! I'll be catching up on sleep and kid snuggles if you need me.
Thanks for sharing the NYC pics! I've never been. And hubs' company is also majorly reorg-ing. Again. Just a word of advice...you better hang on, because with each one he's been thru, it has meant way more work delegated to him. Less people=more work. Hang in there.

If you can, go to Butter. Any restaurant with THAT name must be good, right?

Loved New York - enjoy it while on the company.

I would of so downed that tiny bottle of Tequila and then had a stroke when I saw the charge on the bill. No doubt that one little shot was probably $15.
You have greater willpower than I. Enjoy New York. I'm terribly jealous.

This might be childish, but I love scary movies and all things scary, the Jekyll & Hyde Club is one of my favorite spots to go. I don't remember much of the food but everything was just so fun! Typing it out, it seems even more childish but I loved it

Took a day trip into NYC while living in PA in 2008, and a local friend treated our group to Uncle Nick's: http://unclenicksgreekcuisine.us/ The food was to die for, and the atmosphere was so fantastic we lingered too long and were almost late for our evening show!

What's your username on Instagram? I'd love to check out your other pics and follow you! Is that a little too "wanna be BFF's?" ;-)

It is unlikely to slow down. Dust. For sure, dust.

Next time you're in the City, check out Blue Ribbon in Greenwich Village. They make their own bread and their sandwiches and everything are wonderful!
My new favorite near the theater area is West End Grill. Lobster Tacos. Need I say more?
Bobby Flay's Cafe Americaine is one of my other favs in Manhattan.
Lovely restaurants all and not so bad on the pocket.

I work graveyards so my days are always messed up. I can never remember if I'm coming or going.
