Snow Day Maybe??

Well here in PA we are supposed to be getting between 8 and 14 inches of snow. I am ready for sun... and to be able to start running outside and what not (running at all really since I am new to the world of running). But 1 more snow day would be such a delight.

especially one where you can play in the snow... there hasn't been enough snow yet to do that... and I love making snowmen and getting exhausted from playing in snow!

Its been an interesting week on the health front
I saw my new psychiatrist (2nd time seeing him) and we changed medications... no more pristiq!!

I am going to be taking Zoloft... (any in site/experiences welcome) I am still transitioning over... but I am hopeful

I am also on a new sleep medication Trazodone. Not sure how well it is working yet, i am still playing with dosage to get it just right, but the thought of getting some sleep again makes me very happy.

and I am heading into that time of the month. Apparently Zoloft is supposed to help with PMDD (which I don't have at least not diagnosed) so we shall see if things go haywire or not!

Thank you to everyone who reads this, who has gone through this, and who is willing to share and help me. I am really trying hard to feel like me again.

I am going to be starting on a gluten free, dairy free, egg free, sugar free diet soon... might even try some raw food eating.

in other news...
2 of my closest friends got engaged last night. It was so much fun riding around the city taking pictures with them. They are such wonderful people and I wish them only happiness and joy for the rest of life...

and I found out some other fabulous news... but for the time being it must remain a secret!

here's to over a foot of snow...
Happy Sunday

HELP!

I would like to try to knit my first socks EVER
So far I have done, hats, blankets and scarves nothing more exciting than that :(

any advice, tips, thoughts, patterns... anything really would be greatly appreciated!!

hope you are all enjoying a relaxing weekend... mine has been interesting...
I was supposed to go to a "slumber" party with a friend but we both were not feeling well.

I got lots of odds and ends done around the house yesterday and then went out to dinner but apparently, they put some butter in something I ate and I have spent the remaining time of the weekend being really itchy :(

damn dairy allergy :)


however, it should be noted that Pub and Kitchen is delicious for any of you who haven't been there in the philadelphia area.

today I have big plans for making myself an art/meditation room by cleaning out some closets

and maybe finishing up those pesky taxes..

I hope to post more this week

Weekend Rewind

I had a very eventful weekend for the first time in sometime. Although, that also means exhausting.
Friday night I left work early. It has been quite a stressful week. Some people I work with are slightly enamored with hearing themselves talk and yell. They also enjoy claiming that age and years of service means you are automatically better at the job. So come Friday afternoon I was ready to head out of there for the freedom of the weekend.

I headed over to Irish Pub
To hang with the kickball team... YEAH RECESS BULLIES. Our First game was supposed to be today but it was cancelled because of the monsoon earlier in the week. I had fun, although, I think that Irish Pub is a frat scene for adults. It is not my favorite place on the planet but I walked there so I felt like I got a workout in.

After that my friend SBR and I headed over to her boyfriend's place. Mr. Melting Pot. Mr. Melting Pot had a friend playing at The Rotunda
Near Penn. So we went to see her. She was great and there was a ton of art and fun at the show so we had a good time.
Then we found out that our friend Wah was at Irish Pub (I love how I start my night where I end it) and it was his birthday so we met him

Saturday I ran errands and bought 3 pairs of pants and 3 shirts for under $100... thank goodness for 50% off everything sales. Then my friend came over and we baked. I wish I had pictures. We made Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar things. That were quite possibly the richest sweetest things I have ever eaten... but they didn't cut very pretty

Today SBR and her new roommate and myself went to Bucks county... we had so much fun we visited the Mercer Museum
And then to the Tile works place


all in all a fantastic weekend with hysterical pictures that need to be uploaded

Weekend rewind!

Well after being sick and tired of being sick all last week I fled the confines of this apartment and Philadelphia and headed to the

BIG APPLE... goodbye Philly hello NYC

That's right friends I went to NYC to visit a lot of friends. i even saw people I haven't seen in years... literally like 5-7 years.

It was crazy!

Friday night, I got NY and of course it was like a degree out and who forgot more than her winter jacket... THIS GIRL! So I waited for 20 minutes in the longest taxi line ever and right before my hands almost froze off a taxi came thank goodness. I headed over to my friend LL's apartment. I am there for like .5 seconds before we head out to dinner .

Dinner was really good but if you go there and get a margarita be prepared for drunkenness. There is so much alcohol in their margaritas i swear i was buzzed after like 2 sips. But it was so much fun because my friend bean met us there. Bean and I went to college together. we lived together our junior year and lived on the same floor our freshman year. We met through some kind of Hillel BBQ and she might be the raunchiest girl I know and the funniest. I haven't seen her since we graduated college so it was so much fun.

I also finished a scarf for a friend's fiance. I was supposed to see them this weekend as well but She was very sick

SATURDAY: My friend and I woke up and headed to brunch with my friends puffy, sly and the jewelry maker. All of whom i had been years since I had seen. It was so much fun. And we had the best food. I think we were there so long that they basically were kicking us out.
Then i went to get more yarn (as if i needed it) to make a hat for my cousin

then i headed out to Long Island to visit my best friend Jlo. Jlo got married this summer and her husband ventures to Israel very frequently so we try to get together when he is out of town. They travel all over the place and I love arts and crafts so we did some scrap booking. WOO WOO and then went out to dinner. We also watched the devil wears prada... not so good didn't love the book i couldn't even get through the 1st 5 pages.

Then we had brunch at the cheesecake factory with my friend Brooklyn. Brooklyn, Jlo and myself went to college together so it was fun to reminisce and what not do a little shopping... watch some garden state and then come back to the Philly.

All in all a fantastic weekend

I will post pictures soon
