IKEA happened. Twice now. Yes I've gone to two different IKEA stores in the last two days. My wife came on the second round and we picked up shelves and storage items, and I'm beyond thrilled to see the junk and clutter of our Bathroom disappear.
Ok, yes I know this seems insignificant, and it is kind of a boring blog.

Short post since I'm typing from my phone. I quit my job recently, it wasn't working out to say the least. I'm finishing out the week, and have one more appointment tomorrow morning. Then just a matter of returning company equipment and filing paperwork.
Start the new job next Monday, anxious to get going on it. I'm hoping it goes well, and that it still...

Congrats on getting a new one so fast!

I know, I know, I ran a marathon so I can afford to eat as many slices of cakes as I want, but my body just isn't used to that kind of food. But I did hella enjoy it!!!! 
Yeah, you need to get down to Little Italy and Chinatown and taste the good food!!!! It can be pricy, but you could get a decent meal for not too, too much, just do some homework beforehand. 
Yes, you need to come to one or both NYC group outings!!! Everyone is so cool and fun! We have a good time! Would love to have a newbie!
Congrats on the new job!!! I need to get out of my current job, it's slowly killing me and taking my sanity. It's just so hard in my field to get a new and different position. I keep searching and submitting my resume for jobs, but no success! 
:confused I'm hoping something comes quick!!

One thing you and your wife may want to try now that you are here in NY either this year or next is Santacon.
It can be a lot of fun. It is bar crawl with everyone dressed up for the holidays.
We have enjoyed it in the past.
However, admittedly we aren't going this year for 2 reasons: 1. With the economy the way it is people see to drink cause they are angry instead of drinking to have fun (a convo we have had with a couple of bartenders) and 2. cause with OWS and such we are afraid of protests and arrests happening. We could be totally wrong, but we aren't going to go this year. Probably we will go again next year.

Hiking, sightseeing, eating turkey, drinking copious amounts of wine have all occured this weekend. Will upload photos on my comp and upload them with stories. Happy Holiday weekend everyone!
adrastea:
I play you in Wordfeud right? So you totally forgot to add that on here. Happy Holidays to you too.
roxtay:
True! I've had more going on than I thought word feud helped me survive all the hours on the road this weekend, of which there have been many.

Job interview today! I'm pretty sure I'm already a lock, as I've talked to the recruiting manager for the company and she's very excited after talking to me, and wants me to call her as soon as I'm done. That and I always do well in job interviews. I should probably practice up a bit though, I hate the dreaded "What is your biggest weakness"...

Awesome! Good luck! I hope you get it! I, on the other hand, don't do well in interviews. I get too nervous. 
roxtay:
It was kinda mixed. The questions were all over the place, but I was able to keep afloat and connect well with the interviewer, we talked for over an hour. Downside: I got stuck in traffic behind a stalled car and was twenty minutes late.
Chaos. The last year and a half.
My wife broke her knee pretty much completely, then had it sorta fixed. Oh and I have a wife, no more Fiancee. India happened somewhere in there. A graduation with a PhD in Biology (Once again, my wife's accomplishment not mine). Two Karma Parties. Family drama. Family fixed. Left a job of five years without any leads on...

I was on a blogging kick... I really wanted to keep up with it....dang! My life hasn't been that crazy, but work and a lack of funds has been preoccupying me more than I'd like.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Taxes filed. Money due to me. And a crazy hotel pool party with DJ's this Saturday where I plan to...

Oh SG blog, I've neglected you for the weekend. It's almost Wednesday at this point!
I was too mopey by Saturday night to bother with writing. Between my fiancee being out of town for a near week, and extreme cabin fever I was feeling sorry for myself. Fortunately things tend to turn around quick (I can never be down for too long) and life has...

Thank you for that. Unfortunately the resolution is not in my hands.
Waffle maker sounds fun though! In Jersey my son would always get the GIANT waffle with ice cream and all kinds of bad-for-you stuff on top when we went to the Diner. MMMM...nothing like a Jersey Diner.

Ok well let's see it had the ice cream of your choice, maple syrup, chocolate syrup (the combo is awesome), whipped cream, chocolate chips and a cherry.
OMG I am SOOOO Jealous!!!!! I want pizza!!! I CANNOT wait to go home. Then again, we make our own usually. ha ha

I'm putting my resolution to the test tonight, as I'm not doing anything on a Friday night. The weather outside is helping make it easier. My fiancee and her friends in NYC are not

Awww, NYC is my favorite place...cannot wait to move back. lol
roxtay:
when do you thing that will be?
Cold and blistery day. It's been absolutely fabulous to watch, and even occasionally step out in. The wind is picking up the snow and throwing it around like a sand blaster and everything seems to sparkle with the scant light poking through. I've switched back to being a caffeine junkie on my day off today, slowly sipping cup after cup of coffee while I browse...
