I’ve read mix reviews of this place but nevertheless, when we went to Soho two Saturdays ago, I had to go and look for it. I’m referring to the cupcake stall named Baked by Melissa.
As soon as we were at the location, the first thing that we noticed was the long line. We went to the Chanel boutique hoping that when we walked back, the line won’t be that long. No! It was still busy, so we decided to join the crowd. In no time, we were at the end of the line. My husband and I walked away with this box.
They are heavenly! I would sooner eat these than Magnolia cupcakes. They are one biters. As soon as you start popping up one, it’s hard to stop. They are so moist and decadent.They are a bit expensive for their size, but hey, the location is prime. These were gone in one seating. With me and my husband, I knew that these cupcakes won’t get a second seating. Try them if you happen to be in the area.
Apartment hunting in New York City is not as easy as what most think. First of all, the area is considered hot even in these tough economic times. It has somehow softened a bit, but it is not enough to soften the rental rates and selling prices.
Thus, I have always been very curious how other rental markets are doing in other parts of the Untied States. I was told that Charlotte, NC Apartments are touted as one of the best area in the region. I tend to believe this, because I knew of a family friend who used to rent an apartment in that area. They however moved to the West Coast hence, I had no clue prior to my latest info that I gathered.
With the current apartment hunt of my cousin who is about to relocate there because of a recent career move, she is now looking into the Luxury Durham, NC Apartments. Although she will be there alone initially, her family will soon follow thus, the need for at least two bedroom apartment. The proximity of the property in her workplace is a big factor. At this point however, she is still open to also rent High Point, NC Apartments, provided that the apartment will at least match the amenities of the previous apartment that she’s already set her heart on.
In-state moving is never easy. How much more if you have to relocate to an entirely new location. With comprehensive apartment rental online sites however, this somehow eases the task of locating that much needed new home.
Two Saturday’s ago, we trekked to Soho. It’s been ages, since I stepped foot in this area of Manhattan. It was amazing to see a lot of new establishments. It has changed a lot since my last visit.
It was very crowded. We thought of going there instead of the Uptown area to escape from the Saturday crowd, but it was a mistake. The main hub was dizzying. Going in to the side streets was a lot better. There’s a lot of interesting new stores that immediately won my heart.
After an afternoon of navigating the area, we found a couple of food places that are worth dropping by at. I will be writing about them later.
For the past few years, we saw ourselves switching service providers for our tv, internet and phone services at home. The switch from cable to local tv satellite and vice versa has always been one daunting task. I’m not too good at handling changes that’s why. That is even more so, if it involves detail work in the house which entails cable and wiring installations.
Since we are once again contemplating on making a switch, I now find myself flipping through pages online; one of them is the online portal of localtv-satellite.com to check on pricing and features and do some comparison shopping. As much as possible, I’m looking for something that involves minor disruption because with all the chaos going on in my life right now, I think I won’t be able to handle any added load.
Why did the online site: www.localtv-satellite.com grabbed my attention? Because it’s from their site that I saw the best offer ever! What, with their Premiere Package at five months free, I think that deal is too sweet to not consider. With the NFL fanatic in the house, a package like this will truly suit his TV viewing pleasure.
I will need to ring them up though. I need to know beforehand the extent of any kind of wiring installation (if we even need it). Then and only then are we going to be able to decide which route to take.
My Mom who is an only child happens to have several cousins who are medical practitioners. There are several doctors with varying specialties, nurses and dentists. Having said that, it became her objective to have at least two of her children to get a degree in Medicine (a doctor) and Nursing (a nurse).
Destiny took a different route, though. She ended having only two nurses. The one posed to be a doctor (that was me), got a pre-med degree but didn’t proceed to Medical School. She (me) figured, she can bring home (marry) a doctor in the family without going to med school herself so that was a good enough “barter” with her Mom. As luck would have it, that did not come true (he was let go ) and instead of bringing a doctor to Mom, I brought home a Wall Street man (lol).
To make the long story short, aside from my Mom’s obsession of having a doctor and a nurse for a child, I also found out about her fascination for medical scrubs . In her eyes, donning such attire is noble in itself because not every one can do so. That is granting, that an ordinary individual is not just crazy enough to order and buy scrubs online just for the sake of having one. With the proliferation of scrub stores both online and on retail establishments, it is indeed possible to buy them easily if you are that obsessed to wear one.
Fast forward, my Mom has already withdrawn from her obsession. She was just happy that all of her five children got all their degrees, became professionals and now leading their productive lives with their families which eventually gave her six grandchildren (too bad, I have not contributed to the count).
I’m refusing to give in to many unhappy thoughts lately. What, with the current health condition of my Mom, instead of sulking in one corner, I’m using my free time to read these books.
I’m done reading the book on top of my three-book pile. If you get the chance and you’re interested, this book is a must-read. It details the inspiring story of how the author fought her battle with cancer through alternative methods (sans chemo therapy and radiation) in coordination with a regular medical practitioner.
I’m still reading the two books (as pictured) underneath. I’m actually under time pressure to finish up because whatever ideas I get out of these two books, will come in handy in a few weeks.
One of the first things I did when I retired this summer was sign up for a pottery class. I had been dying to do it for so long, but always made excuses about not having time when I was working. It ends up that I probably should have done it after work to beat out some pent-up frustration.
One night when we were working on making coffee mugs, I was working on forming the handle when the teacher was giving tips about that. I had trouble hearing her, which surprised me because everyone was pretty quiet and deep in concentration over their handles.
After that I did some research on the cost of hearing aids and ended up buying some hearing aids in BROOKLYN near my brownstone. My skills have improved a little over time and I’ve made some great gifts for friends now that I can understand the techniques the teacher explains a little more.
The beginner class is wrapping up in a few months and I think I may sign up for the next level.
