Starbucks and the Nutcracker...or Starcracker?

I think my love of combining words has been taken too far.

Anyways, this month I've been working in an office just across the street from Macy's, H&M, Forever 21 and Old Navy. It's only through Christmas miracles that I have not gone bankrupt yet. It's also worth mentioning that around the corner is also Sephora, Lush, Victoria's Secret, Steve & Barry's....and the entire remainder of the Manhattan Mall.

Interestingly enough, despite my desire to do otherwise, I have not spent my entire checking account in any of these places. Instead, I've chosen to spend on something that gives back to me mentally and physically - Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts.

Depending on line length, I have switched between these two venues for my morning cup of coffee and bagel. During this time, I've discovered the French Toast bagel at Starbucks which is nothing short of amazing. "A dancing plethora on my pallette," if you will - to combine and paraphrase two Dane Cook jokes.

The Nutcracker

If you ever have the chance to be in New York at Christmastime, this is a must! I have to say I was a little bit out of the Christmas spirit..just because it hasn't been too chilly, I still have shopping yet to do and we didn't have a Christmas tree this year. But seeing this beautiful show perked me right up and got me right into the spirit. It's so gorgeous and so amazing. Me, A. and K. realllllllllly had to restrain ourselves from doing pirohouttes out the door, which thank god we did since every little girl outside was doing that and we would have looked like a-holes.

Speaking of hilarious...

The other day I posted one of the funniest SNL skits I'd seen in a while, until I also got my hands on this from the same episode. Hilarious! Justin Timberlake is amazing....AMAZING! My new hero. I love him. I can't WAIT to see him in February in concert. I'm going to cry tears of joy again, just like I did when I saw Shaki. I can feel it.



*note, this can be even funnier if the sound is off. just watching him dance in that costume is hilarious.
