The Perfect Poster!
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.

Prince Harry was in Our Hood?!
Prince of pop: A gleeful Harry finishes the obstacle course by sitting on a balloon to burst it during his visit to the Harlem Children's Zone in New York yesterday. SourceThat's right around down the block from where we live. Dang! Missed my chance to see a royal. hehe
I'm really enjoying the spring weather in NYC. Winter felt so long this year, so it's nice to finally bust out the flip-flops and skirts. We've resumed walking in Morningside Park before work and in Central Park on Saturday mornings.
Our favorite course is walking from our apt through Central Park to the upper 60s, and then heading west to watch a matinee at our fave NYC movie theater. It takes about an hour but it's a great workout and fun way for us to unwind from the week. I literally feel the stress disappear as I walk through gorgeous Central Park.
But now we can only watch matinees. I can't bear to pay $13 for a movie when it's only $6 in the a.m.
(yes I am becoming a penny pinching ajumma!)I recently discovered an indoor heated swimming pool a block away from our apt! I can't believe all this time it was just a street away! I love that about NYC, how each street and block has a surprise and can lead to an unexpected discovery.
We checked out the pool yesterday morning and it looked great- lap lanes, super clean, locker rooms and best of all it's free to use! Yay! Can't wait to jump in tomorrow night for open swim.How's everyone's spring coming along so far?

The Little Things...
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
Thank you so much for all the little ways you touch my heart and love me! - chasing me down several flights of stairs or the street because I forgot something at home

GG Night!
Nothing like a new episode of GG and some homemade sangria with a fellow GG lover! (of course the best is when your hubs fully supports your addiction to teenybopper tv
)
Excuse our ghetto entertainment set up (yes the monitors and laptop are stacked on old phone books, it's a great way to recycle!), we are a TV-less household, but with hulu and cwtv who needs tv.

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