I’m living in a dorm room, my car has an extra 1900+ miles on it than last week, and I’m missing my kitty like crazy.
If you follow me on Twitter, you probably know that I am currently not in Texas anymore, at least for the next several weeks. I’m spending about a month in upstate New York playing in the orchestra for a conductor training program, then am going to Cleveland for a few weeks to help out at my old job there.
What does this mean for the blog then? Funny, I’ve been asking myself that for weeks now!
The dorm kitchen isn’t very well-equipped or conducive to make very much of anything. However, I actually have a few unblogged baking things to write about, will still do the Wordless Wednesdays (new places to photograph!), and will probably do some travel/review posts. Boom!
Next weekend I’m hoping to go down to New York City and visit some friends, so if anyone has some must-sees/dos for me, fire away! I’ve been there several times over the past 10+ years, but come on…it’s huge! Revisiting the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck (and maybe the new shop if it’s open?) is definitely at the top of my list. (I’ve been dreaming about the Salty Pimp and Bea Arthur…) Oh and maybe I should go to Blue Bottle to try their New Orleans Iced Coffee for a comparison with their recipe that I made? (side note: I’m hoping to NOT spend all the money I make from this work trip…)
Anyway, hi! I’m still here. I just won’t be complaining about the unbearable heat for a change.
That is one heck of a clean dorm kitchen!!! Have fun my friend, can’t wait to hear all about it.
Sounds like fun though. Have a great time.
I, personally, can’t wait to see your Goodwill dishes.
Elle Marie – Yeah, there aren’t that many people in this building. The kitchen in the crowded one is crazy!
Greg – Thanks!
Jill – Oh, right. That could totally be a post, though I didn’t buy many.
Enjoy your time with the orchestra in New York and when you get to Cleveland!
Have fun in New York! I bet upstate is beautiful this time of year. If you love the city so much next weekend and plan on heading back there again before you leave, I’ll be in NYC August 1-5. Let me know if you want to meet up!
Paula – Thank you!
Lauren – Aww, man! I wish I could meet up with you. I’m heading to Cleveland June 23! And yes, it’s very pretty up here.
What a fun adventure! I knew you were going to NY, but I didn’t know why; sounds pretty cool (even if you miss your kitteh ;_;). Can’t wait to hear more about what sort of fooding you do in the city, and I wish you luck with cooking in your dorm kitchen (which, while it may not be as well equipped as mine, still looks to be twice the size).
Yeah, it’s a nice change of pace! We have a lot of free time to do whatever, which is a bonus (more time for blogging! XD). I lucked out in the dorm situation as most people are in this other building, which their kitchen majorly reflects. This may be worthy of a blog post…!
Ooohhz yeah we did cross paths a bit! Where in upstate are you currently calling home? I’m considering a potential relocation to somewhere up there in [the] uppity [portion of] new york, but we’ll see! Train the conductors well!
I’m at Bard, so Annandale-on-Hudson (~100 mi north of NYC). Yay for relocating! It’s definitely pretty here, but there is tree sap smeared all over my windshield. boooo.
Jess I enjoy reading your blog. Please stay with it. Have a good trip. Love Kathie & Charlie
Thank you, Aunt Kathie! I’m glad you like it.
