home sweet kitchen

One of the perks of being at home is the luxury of using a full sized kitchen. It is a beautiful, beautiful thing. When I grow up and have a house of my own, my kitchen will be as decked out as it can possibly be...or at least as decked out as my wallet can sustain. It is a lovely thing to have an actual table, a full sink, counter space and a normal sized stove/oven. While New York kitchens are functional, they certainly limit what you can do. Gourmet is not always an option. But for the last 5 days and for the next 6, gourmet here I come!

its raining men

Something strange is definitely afoot. Over the last two weeks I have had more random men approach me, have received more phone numbers, and have been the recipient of more acts of gallantry than I have in a long time. I have had two serious dinner invitations from men just walking by. I have had my ear talked off at a work event, on the train, and on the sidewalk. One man offered to walk me home. Another offered to carry my groceries. Doors have been opened, words have been exchanged. Its been a strange phenomenon, I tell you. If only men that I'm interested in could pay me this much attention. Perhaps there is something in the water. Perhaps I should start bottling it...
