WatchFlip of the Week
I’m two weeks into my class and I’ve made a little progress with a round-off back handspring (accompanied by a spot from my dancing coach).
Baby steps…
(*I’m glad I went to gymnastics tonight…I was looking for a million reasons NOT TO but none of my excuses were valid).

It's Sale Time!
I’m an avid sample sale shopper and I pride myself on scoring some great deals. It would be super if I actually wore half of the things I purchased but they mostly just hang in my closet and look really pretty (because who really needs 20 different cocktail dresses when they don’t actually have places to wear them to?).
Check out my listings here if you’re interested (if...

2.2.12: Words
Description:
I thought long and hard about the words I wanted to photograph yesterday but nothing seemed all that motivating until we hosted a casual employee gathering to select numbers for the Super Bowl Box Pool. Nothing excites me more than throwing money away on things that I don’t understand (i.e. how this pool works or the technical details of the sport of football in general)....

2.1.12: Your View Today
Description:
View of Midtown East from my office rooftop (approx 20th Street up to 52nd Street, 10th Avenue over to Park Avenue). It’s is pretty unique place to snap this shot from since most of us aren’t allowed to go up to the roof due to…
…but when you work closely with people in the Building Operations/Engineering department, you usually become an exception to the...

WatchMy body is going to hate me tomorrow. When I texted this to my best friends from college, Kristen (a once elite gymnast) and Rozz (a once backyard/self taught fearless tumbler/cheerleader), they had the same response - “OMG, where are you and what the hell are you doing?”.
This video is actually SUPER embarrassing but I’ve got to start somewhere, right? It’s certainly not...
Last Name Status
Me: I saved you in my contacts as [redacted]
Him: And I'm dubbing you Elmira Emily for contact purposes
Me: Yikes. We'll need to get to last name status stat because I certainly don't want to be known by my hometown. Though, my last name, if anything, is a descriptive of the town itself.
Him: Emily Hicks?
Haha...this guy is funny.

Lemurs
You know how people say things like “don’t be a lemming”? (As in, don’t be a follower…)
Well, I’ve been saying “don’t be a lemur”…for like…a long time.
Someone FINALLY corrected me tonight.
Lemur, Lemming. Potato, Po-tah-to. :)
I like things
Prior to 10am this morning, I didn’t need a thing. Not one thing. If anything, I have too many things.
Then cupcakesandcashmere made me buy this (I found mine on etsy)…
Then an hour later I caved, joined the 2012 Erin Condren Planner train, and bought this…
(but clearly it reads my name because, well, who would want to walk around with a personalized organizer with...

William Wallace
In college, there was this girl we (“we” as in the guys I was friends with) nicknamed “William Wallace” because she was really cute but she would go out and then return to the dorms looking as though she’d been through a war. After my late night/last minute decision to head to the LES last night, I’m feeling very Braveheart-esque this morning. I’m afraid...
