New things

Garage sale lion planter, Home Depot plant shopping, my first Areca palm.

My new favorite flowers, Frangipani.


Chicks dig Frangipani.


Assorted beautiful objects

Cruiser

I am going to go to the local bike shop today and ask questions about bikes. I didn't know there were so many kinds of bikes to choose from:

Hopefully the bike shop will have something used and cute for me for less than $100.

***UPDATE: Apparently it's better to fix the bike you have than to get another used bike. Full tune-up and wipe-down: $59.99, ready for pick up by noon on Friday. I've only had the bike since Saturday and I already miss it.

Meet Petra, my intern.

My uncle found this pretty lady at a yard sale this weekend and he said she could come live with me, and she can be my intern. When he bought her, she was wearing a little green (unacceptable) necklace, so let her borrow some of my jewelry. I'm creating a monster.

Sweetening the Deal

Alexis Mateo, my favorite drag queen from "RuPaul's Drag Race Superstar", is from St. Pete, FL! I saw Alexis in person at the finale crowning party in NYC, and I hope to see her soon in St. Pete, too. BAM!

Wasp Waist

I'd settle for a Grasshopper Waist (whatever that means).

Extra, Extra

Debi, her best friend and avocado facials.

I just discovered Debi Mazar's new show, "Extra Virgin" on The Cooking Channel. She is delightful, adorable, and the inspiration for my new tropical lifestyle. Here's to eating Al Fresco!

Good Friday

I hope we all get to color some eggs this weekend.

He's very sophisticated.

Accidentally

I might accidentally adopt another puppy when I get to St Pete. To keep Nino company. Remember, I'm not retiring to FL, but Nino is. He's going to be 63 in June!

From/To

I am running away from puffy coats and scarves and running to shorts and espadrilles.

Fourteen days.

Getting closer

Getting closer to packing my bags to leave this cold, rainy, forever-winter land called New York City for the sunny, friendly, palm-tree-ville called St. Pete.

Things in Common

My Uncle Michael (who lives around the corner from me in St. Pete) says everything is better with palm trees, and I have to agree.

This looks nice.

It's 43 degrees, gray and rainy here in NYC today.
