So, by now, we all know I’m not one to really get into the juicy details of any so-called love life in here, but occasionally, I can’t help it. I’m either too overjoyed with potential, or blinded by a quick smile, etc.
Rather, I’ll try to keep it more big picture….
When is it okay to convert a friendship/acquaintanceship into more?
Ever?
Never?
Anytime?
I think I went on a date tonight. Key word, think.
It was to “celebrate my promotion”. And it was a wonderful steak dinner at a very nice steakhouse. And then it was a last minute decision for a movie. And it had hand holding. And I loved it.
I’ve entertained this situation for quite some time, but now that it’s reality facing me square in the nose, I have to admit, it’s a little funny feeling.
Love and Peace

Today was a fairy tale….
I love that song… and it’s conotations. I lived it today. Well, I lived it yesterday/today.
I spent the day on Tuesday photoging my city. And my friends.
These are the blessings in life that are truly remembered. I wish I could express the shear joy that is exhuming from my body as I write this. I’m at work now, after a very very short night’s sleep/nap. But, I am so very far from here at this moment. Reliving each of the smiles and the laughs that have been taken in over my entire mental capacity.
I can’t stop smiling.
I truly feel that this is one of the times where no written word can do justice to my emotions.
I hope you all have a great day.

Wow!
I can’t believe it’s really my third New Years in NYC!
2009 was quite the year….. as always. Thank you NY.
2009 was a great set-up for the 2010 year to come. I hold out a lot of hope.
And, as we’ve come to expect…. my rundown of the year in review:
Partied my ass off
Worked my ass off
Taught spring semester adult ed classes again
Missed my family
Attended my first St. Patrick’s day parade
Had tubal ligation surgery
Went home to surprise my dad
Spent my summer in Coney Island
Celebrated Halloween for the first time in 15+ years
Visited Orlando for the first time
Had my heart broken
Had Thanksgiving day at McDonalds & the ESB
As always, New York, you never disappoint in keeping things fresh.
Thank you all. For everything.
Love and Peace,
Niff
Well, it’s certainly been a trip getting here, but I have finally arrived in Orlando for a mini-vaca for some RR.
I have barely settled in, but I have made it far enough to know that I am loving the apartment, and look forward to the spa in the morning. I’ve got the bath drawn now, and it won’t be long and I’ll actually be feeling the R and R set in.
And now…. where is that bottle of wine…
Peace
Well, I think my mother is sending me a message about my lack of blogging in recent months.
She linked me. She linked me!!!
OMG, now I actually have to keep up on this?
Life is good. I think that’s my blog of the day. One of those no news is good news kinds of things? I still have my job, friends and (some) family that still loves me. Food in my belly. (In fact I totally just scarfed those starbursts DOWN!) A roof over my head. And I even look good in my skirt today 
Thanks for the motivation mom. I’ll work on getting everything up and running more efficiently soon.

For starters… yay for birthdays.
Second… yay for road trips.
Third… yay for shopping.
Fourth… yay for good friends.
I’m pretty sure that this day couldn’t get much better, and it’s yet to begin. Marie is taking me to the Chelsea Outlets in upstate NY for a bit of a shopping trip today. I’ve been on a mission lately to update my style, and to maybe consider looking the part of NY. And so, with this is shopping. But not just any shopping, this is bargain shopping.
Wish me luck.
It’s amazing how easily life can get consumed with just that… life.
I’ve been spending roughly the last six weeks writing my application for grad school application. And not just grad school, NYU grad school.
I submitted it today finally. Not that I worked on it day and night for six weeks, but this has been stuck in my craw for weeks now. I’m one of those people that has very little patience, even with myself most days. I am glad to have finally completed the application process, and now that I have submitted the application, I think I’m dreading the waiting even more.
I decided recently that I was going to finally do something about all my talk of going back to grad school. I’ve talked about it since I moved to NY, and probably a little bit before that. But I think all things come in due time. Something like this isn’t to be rushed, or forced to happen. When the time is right, it will fall into place.
My friend has a saying, and I’m going to steal it from her today.
“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.”
She is motivational, and I was missing her so much while she was away. I got to see her on Sunday for the first time since August. I’m glad I have someone in my life who believes like this.
As for the application. I wait. And probably wait a little bit longer.

I don’t think I have ever been in love with summer like this before.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I have always been a big fan of warmer weather.
But this summer really put me over the edge.
I made some great new friends, saw some concerts, and drove everywhere I possibly could with the top down.
Awwwww yes. For the love of summer.
And as you slip slowly through my grasp, please know, summer, you will be missed.
Till next time.
Love and peace,
Niff
What could possibly make summer more enjoyable.
Music concerts in the park with great people.
