I'm exhausted...
“But Emily, it’s Sunday, not Friday. You should be rested from the weekend!” my (sparse) audience says. Except, yeah… This weekend has been just plain crazy. Friday consisted of: Work…busy, busy work. I didn’t even eat lunch until 4pm. Open house for apartments in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (that were both big fat NOs). A random, last minute apartment showing in...

Mmm...asparagus!
Someone asked me for the recipe on Facebook, and by the time I had typed it up in the reply to comment box, it was too long to post. So I’m throwing it up here. After I made turkey croquettes/meatballs, I was going to make something curry-esque with chickpeas, but I had a VERY old bunch of asparagus chillin in the fridge and knew they needed to be dealt with. The turkey croquettes are a tad...

Top with leftover rotisserie chicken (I had to at least attempt to make it healthier) and LOTS of Trader...

I can't say a whole lot...
But I can say that I have a feeling that at work, I’m moving from “newbie intern” to “more experienced intern”. They’re getting six new interns (if I heard correctly) on Monday. I’m moving from the intern computer/table to a desk/cubicle shared with another employee. The woman whose desk I’m taking over (temporarily?) left for maternity leave last...

Well there goes a month!
Sorry everyone, but it seems like February and March have flown by. That is probably because: - I’m working 40 hours a week - Sara came up to see me during NCSU’s Spring Break - Saturday Feb. 28th to Thursday March 5th. It was her first time in the city and it was really an amazing week. I love that girl, and I’m gonna miss her! (She got into Univ of Manchester for grad school!...
