Pickup Trucks

The sun is out, my hair is washed, and I’m feeling almost human today!  If my life was the original Broadway production of Rent, Idina Menzel would be leaning over me and cooing, “Her fever’s breaking.”  Then again, by that logic I’d also be a HIV positive stripper with a hankering for Heroin so perhaps we [...]

Flashback Friday

It’s cold, rainy and brutally depressing here in the North East.  Yay.  It’s been a long hard week, Interwebz.

Just to recap, it all started with a relaxing dinner where I sucked royally at preparing a family friend for his first round of chemo.  Then I held my friend’s hand as she looked at her sweet dog’s [...]

Test Drives

All is not well on the kitty front.  All isn’t bad exactly, just decidedly not good.  We went back for more tests to see if any of the new drugs were working.  The answer?  In a word, no.

Turns out her teeny tiny heart is now kicking out a BP of over 300.  They also called Saturday [...]

Handyman

The Before Closet

There are many, many qualities that I love and admire in Rocco (he makes me my green tea with honey every morning, he watches “So You Think You Can Dance” with me, he always carries the heaviest bags).  All but one of these qualities fade into the background for me.  Today I am [...]

Sick

The swine flu sucks ass.  I have to tell you, I’ve had more fun than this.  I’ve felt mildly shitty for the past couple of days, but yesterday morning I rallied a little.  So in typical Elly fashion I decided to push my luck and run nine hundred and seventeen errands at a breakneck pace.  By [...]

Let them eat cake

Meat Cake

Yesterday we were traipsing around the West Village on our way to dinner.  I heart the West Village.  It’s such a cute, quiet hood filled with angry, bitter New Yorkers.  We saw a sign above some parking spaces that said, “NO PARKING: Violators will have their license plates removed and the air let out [...]

Get your limerick on

It turns out today is Limerick Day.  Who knew?  More over, who cared?  But as I’m a little too angsty over recent housing developments to think about them further, I needed a distraction.  And thus, my homage to Edward Lear and his lovely limericks.  I’m surprised at how non-dirty these came out.  (Yes Thom, that’s a [...]

Flooded festival

Crowded Hoboken Stage

Twice a year, Hoboken hosts a fantastic street fair, the Hoboken Arts & Music Festival.  I look forward to these things all year!  There’s a vast array of artists and their work, fun jewelry, ridiculous Jersey paraphernalia and all the food on a stick you could possibly want.

Despite the rain, the town decided not [...]
