Hello! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Mine was really fun. Lots of drinking..lots of yummy eats…all very necessary after the week I had.
Friday Night Party Time…
Friday after work, my friend Kaity invited me to an end of the season Mets party since she works for them. I met her at the Pines bar by the stadium. She told me to come hungry since there would be a lot of food!
They had a free Italian style buffet for everyone. I tried a little bit of everything.
Salad, chicken marsala, eggplant parmesan, and some ziti. It was all very good, especially the eggplant parm!
We had a great time at the party. The Coors Light promo girls were there so we got a bucket, t-shirt, photo of us, and light up key chain for $15.00 bucks. Pretty good deal.
People were getting bucket after bucket so I can’t even tell you how many beers I had. The Patron girls were there too so I may have had a few free shots too!
Kaity and I were both wasted by the end of the night but luckily her friend drove us home so we didn’t have to get back on the subway at 2 am!
Saturday
I had plans to go to the Reebok Sports Club with my sister Saturday morning since we had free guest passes but I could not move! I canceled and ended up sleeping till 1:00 in the afternoon. Definitely needed it.
I had a bowl of Cheerios with bananas and raisins for brunch.
Bowl #2…necessary when hungover.
Later in the day, my friend and I went to the mall to buy an outfit for our friend Melanie’s birthday at night.
We had a quick dinner in the food court since we took 3 hours to shop and had no time for anything else. They seriously do not have one salad or deli place in the Queens Mall so I ended up getting Japanese.
Nice and oily shrimp teryaki with vegetables.
It was pretty good for being a food court meal!
We went to Melanie’s birthday later which was at Banc in Murray Hill. It was a really cute bar and great place to have a party.
I found Dori right away!
We all had a lot of fun. It’s been forever since we all went out! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELANIE!!
Sunday Family Day
My parents decided to come visit to have breakfast and see the kitty. I met them in the city at my sister’s apartment. I decided to bring Daisy along since my sister never met her! Once my parents arrived, we had brunch at a place called Eatery. I got an egg white omelet with mushrooms and tomatoes.
We brought Daisy to brunch and she sat under the table in her little carrier. She was so good all day. We then carried her over to Tasti D Lite so she could have a lick of ice cream! My parents left and my sister and I decided to take a little walk in Central Park. We did not want to leave Daisy in my sister’s apartment because there were way too many computer cords in there. I carried her in my arms for our entire 2 mile walk! She is seriously a dog. She ended up falling asleep in my arms while walking. Everyone that walked by had to do a double-take because they really could not believe I was walking with a kitten. She is a little freaked out today but it was very fun.
My sister and I went to dinner after our walk at a sushi place called Bamboo 52. I got miso soup, seaweed salad, edamame, and a Dinosaur Roll: salmon, tuna, white fish, mock crab, avocado, cucumber, and flying fish roe.
It was really good! The best part was that it happened to be happy hour on a Sunday night so all of the drinks were half off. I got a Peartini for $4.00! Wahoo!
It was a great weekend but now I am back to reality. I have a few goals for the week.
- Get back in gym mode. I only made it 2 out of 7 days last week which made me extra miserable each day.
- Juice each morning. I did it every morning the 1st week I had my juicer but did not wake up once last week in time to juice.
- No Overeating. Stress last week led me to over eat one too many times.
- Possibly move my blog to WordPress. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now but need to find someone to help me since I get very frustrated when dealing with technical issues. Any recommendations?
This morning I already went to the gym and made juice so I am off on a good start. What are some of your goals for this week?
Have a lovely day!

Love the picture of us! I'll ask my brother if he knows of a seamless way to transfer your blog to WP.

Thanks! I know I can just go on WordPress and click on transfer but apparently there is all this other little stuff to worry about which I can't deal with haha.

Glad to read that you had a fun weekend. Daisy certainly had a big adventure!
It took me a while to get used to WordPress and I needed help from my computer geek boyfriend. but I'm glad I switched!

Fun times!!
Goal for this week = stress less, move less, and make more "me time."

i've said this before, but i am so sorry you have to deal with this family blog drama! I can't imagine. I still think it's best to just be honest with your parents. They will still love you no matter what! But again, easier said than done

Fun weekend! It must've felt good to just let loose.
I finally got my blog on Twitter and the next thing on my list is to switch to WordPress. I'm scared!
My goal this week is to pay closer attention to my portion sizes. I tend to overserve myself and end up feeling like ass after I eat.
I hope you have a great week Missy, it looks like you've got a good start!

Looks like a fun (and much needed) weekend! LOVE your goals- I moved to wordpress and it was pretty straightforward (and WELL worth it). Just transfer your posts and get a new code for your ads to place them there (Foodbuzz talked me through setting theirs up). Seriously, if I can manage the switch, anyone can

It looks like you had a fun weekend =)…you look really pretty in the pics.
Damn I miss the Bourbon chicken at Queen Center Mall…that is a must whenever I go lol
I need to stop my binging too, esp on the weekend! it gets really bad…I always end up weighing 2-3 lbs heavier from Friday to Monday =/

haha I love that you took Daisy out to brunch with you! such a nice day for it too
[Reply]
Wow, sounds like you had a jam-packed, awesome weekend– made me smile
Your goals sound attainable and achievable. Mine are to work on being a little less rigid and to enjoy the moment.
Have a great afternoon lovely lady!

Excellent goals! I hear ya on WordPress, I've been having similar thoughts. Can't believe you carried Daisy around all day! How precious
[Reply]
That Japanese food looks SO DELICIOUS. I'm so hungry right now..I want to eat the screen.
Love your goals. I have wanted to move to WordPress too, but let me know if it's easy, I just don't want a huge hassle.
My goals this week are to pay more attention to Nick and stick to the blogging every other day! I can do it, I know I can. And of course, stick with my low sodium and high probiotic diet

So when I'm coming back to NY in December for good, we're going out drinking
Moving over to WordPress IS SO EASY! It does it for you…I'm technologically challenged too but it was a breeze!

I'm glad you had a fun weekend! My goals for this week are to study and do well on my bio test, post more frequently on my blog, and do my PT stretches 2x a day!
[Reply]
Hey!! Thanks sssooo much for visiting my blog! Made me smile=) Looks like a really amazing weekend out! A peartini sounds so good! yum! hhmm sounds like some good goals for the week. I think mine for the week is to be more mindful of my night time eats..and to get to the gym and rock out some really great workouts. I slept in this morning but I plan to get up each day this week and really enjoy it! Have a super night!
So sorry i wish I could help you too about transfering your blog but I have no idea. But if I come across anything I will pass it along!

i really miss tasti d!!! there are a lot of great fro yo places in los angeles but no tasti d…
[Reply]
hey girrrlll sounds like a fab weekend…when hungover, to me food just doesnt count the same way as when youa re not hungover, so that extra bowl-certainly neccessary!
are your parents against you having a blog? I am sure they would be so proud of you when they show the dedication you have! I am sure everything will work out!!
Yeah I have thought about wordpress too…I do need to play a littl bit more with it to become familiar!
[Reply]
hey, I am also out of gym mode, ugh!
is eating half a little ceaser pizza and wings binging?
wow, my diet suks lately!
I was going to transfer to WordPress but I can't find a lay out I like that is free and it does get complicated. if you do the free one it is OK, but when I transfer stuff it looks all off center and all out of format. so I said forget it!
[Reply]
I join you to your weekly goal #1, I need to get back to workout mode too!
moving to wordpress is really easy, don't stress out, email me if you have question!
[Reply]
That is so sweet that Daisy will let you carry her! If she were mine I would want to carry her everywhere, too.
It was so, so easy for me to switch to wordpress. You create your new blog and go in under tools (I believe) and it will give you the option to import/export. You click "import" and I think you type in your blog's address. It connects to blogger and it takes awhile, but it transfers everything! I was terrified because I thought something would get lost…but if I can do it (and I am SO challenged in the IT area) – anyone can! WordPress is awesome.
Hmmm – my number one goal for this week will be to not stress eat/under eat, since I have a test this weekend!

ohh such a neat weekend! I love all the fun experiences and of course everyone getting to meet kitty
