concrete jungle where dreams are made of

Holy taxi cabs! I arrived last night at about 8. Took me just as long to fly here as it did to get through traffic to my hotel in Manhattan. I saw the Rockafeller Tree, it’s beauty! I’ve not done any exploring or hunting for style yet, that’s today.

There’s a nasty storm on the way and we’re a little worried we wont make it out tomorrow. Stating tucked inside the hotel, insulated concrete forms to keep us safe from the nasty that mother nature is about to bring on. We’ve got a Monday afternoon flight to Cuba that CAN NOT be missed. I’m not too worried, actually, not at all.

Ok, breakfast & shopping time. Have a great day!

casting call: bloggers

Looking for bloggers in all kinds of categories.

If you blog or you know a cool blog TELL ME NOW! I’ve got some really exciting stuff coming up at work in the new year. I’m excited to have the opportunity to include people I know and cool bloggers. Hope to meet some new ones! Thanks in advance!

she kinda reminds me of andy warhol

This is the desktop of @irieras at work…feel free to put me on yours too. haha so funny.  It’s my current FB profile pic and she loves it.

I got to thinking the other day about this blog and me and everything…. it’s fun reminding yourself about your own life. It becomes a story, unreal at times. I often say to myself “Can you believe it Casie? THIS, this, this is your life and you are living it, good job. Casie you are living it out.”

AND Yes,  yes I talk to myself often. Kinda why I have a blog, to make the talking to myself seen normal….or necessary. Oh, look at me so funny again. To remember my life, that’s why I do it, this whole charade. I’m so happy and I hope it lasts forever. Thank you for reading. I love when you comment cause then we’re both sharing and it’s not just me talking to myself day after day.

I’ve got all my gear here to scoot to NY after work. I’ve got a driver arranged at the airport and I’m meeting Jello at the hotel. No anxiety, only excitement! OMG! Have an awesome day.

anxiety averted with a ring from mum and maccas

Nothing makes me feel better when I’m freaking than a ring from Mum saying “everything is fine, don’t fret” and Mc Donalds.

I’ve got my writing hat on and I’m checking things off my list.

I am now extremely excited for tomorrow to come…ZOMG NYC! AAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Kevin, you’re what French call les incompetents

This is me today…

I’m heading to New York tomorrow and excited. I’m also a bit nervous and having anxiety. I’ve never been to NY and i’m flying porter there all by myself then I have to take a taxi to our hotel. I know everything will be fine but I can’t help but feel the nerves kicking in.  I’ve got two suitcases, one for NY and one packed for Cuba on Monday. I’m very lucky to be going but i’m feeling the pressure to get lots of stuff done for work and blog and pack and family/christmas stuff.  Plus, Blackberry emails are not coming through and twitter replies are slow, adding to the anxiousness.

In other news, I’ve decided to sell the Bell Google Android phone.  If you want it, tell me, I posted it here.

Take a deep breath…I’m so ready for the beach.

I used to surf waves but now I surf Internet.

Social media is party of my life pretty much all day, everyday.  Today I’m on the hunt for learning stuff I don’t know yet.

I watched this video about Google Wave today and it made me wanna test a wave for work. I think it’s probably pretty cool if you don’t have like 20 people like the waves’ i’ve been riding.

I think it deserves some attention from me considering how much I love you Google.

If you know something cool & interesting or where to find facts & stats, please share.

Then we can all be smarter. ♥

Thanks in advance.

pure med spa brightened my day…and teeth!

I will update this post with before and after but you can see if you check my Tweets from today!

Is was not painful and took just over an hour. Don’t I look excited?

Here are my new shiny teeth! Thanks 🙂

chasing your own tail around the christmas tree

Holidays are pretty much the busiest time of the year…for everyone. This week I’m running around like freaking MANIAC. It seems, so is everyone else I know/need to see/like/love/try to avoid.

Tonight is the finale for one of our shows at work, you might have heard of it, Peak Season? Anyhooters, I’ll be tweeting away for that tonight. Tomorrow I’m getting my teeth whitened thanks to Pure Med Spa. Hope it doesn’t hurt! Wednesday is the ever famous HoHoTO that I’m planning to make an appearance at. Thursday, is  pretty much the last day before I leave to finish up all my work for blogMuch/MTV cause Friday is filled with holiday jazz. Thursday night I’ve got my sista coming by to pick up holiday prezzies for the whole fam-dam.

Ah…take a deep breath…all I really wanna do is this…..

i’m going to design more stuff next year

This is gonna be a good week. I can feel it. I had a really good weekend. I spent most of it at my house. I got a new sketch book & pastels.


I made some really special one of a kind pieces of jewelry. I’ve got a plan for a productive work week and it all ends with  Friday night dinner in NYC.

Today is one of those days,  one of those that I think ‘wow, I’m really excited to be living this life out’. This, this is my real life. I’m so glad I write it down. Imagine all the things it helps me remember that I don’t write down? That’s the real best part. Posting a photo or update of what I did or where I’m going, then, remembering all the the stuff that happened that day or that party. It’s fun. I’m really happy I’ve kept doing this. I will always remember that day I started, it was sunny.

I love that it’s documented, an augmented reality of photos & videos… I’m writing history, I’m writing my own.

Serendipity is on tv right now and like every year I watch it, obviously.  I love it, I’m a sucker for the romance.

This year I’m going to New York (for my first time) and I can barely contain my excitement. I just realized,  I’m going to see the tree, THE TREE! This one:

The same one I have like always wanted to see since I first saw Home Alone in 1990. We’re gonna visit Elsa Cohen.

Keri & I had some fun getting holiday gear today. ready today. I love the ribbons, glitter and this missive candycane ->

This weekend I found myself smiling from ear to ear and humming holiday tunes after I left stores. I love that. I also got all my gifts for my family wrapped and ready to be delivered.

I’m feeling the holiday spirit really excited to be going away this year!
