It's still Feb 1! I have 40 minutes left to update!

The hubs and I have challenged each other to try and blog every day of February. 

Can we do it? I'm not sure but I really want to try. We both love blogs and blogging but never really get the chance to update our sites very often.

Here are the guidelines of our challenge:

• We must try and blog every day, no excuses, barring some kind of catastrophe
• A post is considered to be a minimum of 5 sentences (clear sentences with a point) and 1 image
• Post for the day must be completed by 11:59 p.m.
• Posts can be about anything but content should be original to us (not reposting something cool from another blog)

Ok, so that's all the guidelines for now. Here's my first post! Continue reading →

At the suggestion of my wonderful hubs I decided to blog about the worst thing that's ever happened to me physically, because he never wants me to forget what an awesome husband he's been the past week.

So the second half of last year I was pretty good about working out and taking care of my body. I even started jogging, yes me, jogging. I could hardly believe it! I managed to work myself down to my pre-marriage weight and run 3 miles in less than 30 min (something I'd never done before)!

Well, fast forward to the holidays and all the awesome eats and then our annual trip to Orlando to see family and friends and do more eating. *sigh* Working out and eating right went to the wayside. Then when I attempted to get back on track I hurt the heel of my right foot and couldn't step down on it without grimacing, so working out was put on hold.

So the new year starts and my heel is still busted, and I am basically in hibernation mode because it was sooo freaking cold in NYC. I feel the pounds creeping back on and my body start going back to lazy mode.

Then disaster struck. On Tuesday morning as I was getting ready to head out to the office, I'm folding a sweater on my bed and *bam* I feel as though someone stabbed me in my lower back!! It was so painful and sharp my knees buckled and I fell down on my bed. Continue reading →

We moved over the weekend to a temporary sublet on the UWS. It's the first time we've ever lived in a full service building (elevator, laundry room, gym, doorman, etc.). I've always loved old walkups and townhomes but I have to admit it's pretty fun to live in this type of building and in a neighborhood that has it all (tons of stores, shops and restaurants)! We're only here for a short time so we're trying to enjoy it while it lasts. I don't even want to think about moving again. I hate packing!

This poster was all over the blogsphere a while back. I saw this on madebygirl and HAD to get it! I ordered this weeks ago but it was on back order. I totally forgot about it and it came today. Such a nice surprise! It's perfect for me and oppa!

I'm gonna paint over an old frame and pop it in and hang it up. Now, I just have to find the frame in the sea of boxes I'm surrounded by.

It's amazing how sometimes the smallest gestures are the most touching and stay with you throughout the day and even week. I don't want to forget these things when I'm older (so excuse this post if it's sorta mushy)...

• chasing me down several flights of stairs or the street because I forgot something at home
• surprise coffee runs before work
• being walked to the front of my office just because you didn't want to see me go yet
• emails with videos, images or messages to cheer me up or just because you thought of me

So many more things...

Thank you so much for all the little ways you touch my heart and love me!

Today I received an Edible Arrangement from a former intern. It was so pretty and delish! My coworkers and I gobbled it all up.

The arrangement included chocolate covered bananas. yum yum yum...this was one of the best gifts ever!

I randomly found this photo last night when I was organizing the thousands of pics we've taken in the past couple of months.

I have to admit, the iPhone has changed our lives. It's so convenient to have and an endless source of entertainment. It's the hub's but you know when you're married it's basically like it's yours. hahah

Happy New Year! I have like 10 half written entries on private and tons of pictures to upload so in the coming weeks you'll see random backdated posts show up. Excuse the randomness, I'm determined to get up to date in '09! =)

Tonight is the big night we've all been waiting for- the BCS Championship! I have a post on my work xanga about this past season. If you need something to pump you up go check it out here. Go Gators!

I know many ya'll are into Korean food and learning how to cook it so I thought I'd share this. I ran across this cool site called Maangchi, that features video recipes and even free downloadable Korean cookbooks in English. Check it out! The videos are so cute! You gotta love the fobby accent.

Here's one of my fave videos so far on how to make galbi jjim:

Happy Halloween! 

Oppa and I went to the West Village to check out the Halloween parade. As we were walking toward the parade I did a triple take when I saw a sign for Bulgogi hotdogs.

Yes, that's bulgogi on top of a beef hotdog wrapped with sangchu, pickles and sauteed onions on the left. On the right is dakgalbi on a chicken hot dog and sangchu.  The place is called New York Hot Dog and Coffee on Bleeker b/t Carmine and Leroy. The hot dogs were actually pretty good -stuffed with a lot of meat and the addition of the sanchu balances it all out, definitely hit the spot. 

Halloween is no joke in NYC! This year was the first time we checked out the Village Halloween Parade, and boy it didn't disappoint. I've never seen so many adults all decked out in costumes, running around and dancing like little kids. It was so fun to see all the monsters, superheroes and Sarah Palins! Continue reading →
