You'll have to excuse my lack of posts but I've been in the land of the free enjoying my time outdoors and not in front of the computer in gray ol' England. I've arrived back in London to be swamped at work and realised it's impossible to get caught up at home when you're working full time. My mountain of laundry seems to be growing rather than shrinking and I may or may not have just taken down the Chistmas decorations this past weekend.
Hope to be back to regularly scheduled posting soon!
and to all a good night!

1. A Dunkaccino is amazing. Half cappuccino + half hot chocolate = pure deliciousness. How could I only just find out about these?! I will say half a cup of coffee + Swiss Miss = not good. Don't try that at home. Do you think Starbucks will look at me weird if I ask for a half cappuccino and half hot chocolate?
2. How to repair a kitchen sink. Okay well I didn't have anything to do with the repair but I did watch the husband. You see the sink at my parents house was clogged and the disposal wasn't clearing it. The husband decided to use his hands and make compressions over the drain like a plunger. Next thing I hear is "uh oh" or maybe a variation of those words only slightly cruder. I walk over and the sink is no longer in the sink hole. Luckily all was well when the husband fixed it and the only real damage was that we couldn't use the sink for 24 hours and had to eat out.
3. NYC did not handle the December 2010 blizzard as well as the one in December 2009. I don't know what happened or who dropped the ball but the side streets were still quite treacherous several days after the storm hit. Take the below photo taken several nights later on the UES- do you really think that person will be going anywhere any time soon?
I think not.

I didn't take any pictures of the third important B in the city- Barneys! I guess I was too busy thinking about Fred's (the only department store restaurant that matters) to look at the windows...
