Room 401





I live in a hotel, actually, I live in Rm. 401. I've been staying at the Westin in Providence, RI for 6 weeks now and just when I thought I'd be going back to NY, I got assigned to work here for one more week. Not only have I been staying at the same hotel, I've been in the same room. It's one of their two "work-out" rooms, which come complete with a treadmill, weights, etc. Not bad, huh? I've reached Platinum Starwood member status, the front desk doesn't ask for an ID anymore, and every valet guy knows me by name. I think I can claim residency now though since I have received mail here, multiple times, (thanks Christian). Normal??? Thank goodness for the "Heavenly Bed"!

Here Come the Brides!






Sometimes something that looks ugly on a hanger becomes your most prized article of clothing...and sometimes it just looks worse on. Yesterday, we found the latter to be true. We went to Saks because they were having a bridal sample sale. Upon arriving, we quickly realized why they were selling Vera Wang dresses for 70% off. The gowns were covered in tulle, black beads, green ribbon, etc...not to mention the missing buttons and broken zippers. While I obviously didn't find the gown of my dreams we occupied one very small dressing, for quite some time, and took pictures modeling some of the most hideous dresses you can imagine.

Deck the Halls!


Jenna... I know you were a little disappointed that we didn't join the thousands of tourists for the annual Rockefeller tree lighting so we had a little tree lighting of our own. On my way home from Providence this weekend I searched for a x-mas tree lot, but with no success I settled for a big, fake, (and cheap) tree from Target. I dragged it down Wall St, up the elevator, and nestled it in a little corner of our home! The "tree lighting" was last night...now we just need some presents (instead of magazines) under the tree!

Nasty 8


After traveling all the way up to the UWS it only seemed appropriate to revisit the infamous "tasty/nasty/only 8" for some peanut butter frozen yogurt. It may have been 20 degrees outside and I didn't remember exactly where it was (sorry Christian), but we walked up and down 72nd St until we found it! Nasty 8 never tasted so good. The only thing missing was Missy and Meg:(
