All I want for Christmas is a boyfriend (well it's not all I want, but still). Is that too much too ask? I didn't think so.
I know all the struggles that come along with said gift, but I would gladly take some of that to not have to do everything by myself. F being independent.
Oh, and reindeer antlers on cars are dumb. I hope I haven't offended any readers who might have said antlers on their car. At least if you have them, I hope you drive a minivan or a station wagon.
Maybe I should have titled this post bah humbug?

I never thought I would blog about this
A bullet style update
-I ran a 5k last night. It was cold. Really cold. My time was 28:06. Definitely not my best, but not my worst time. I am partially blaming all the walkers I had to maneuver around and cold. Oh the cold. Oh and the hill.
-This might be TMI, but I never knew what it was called until last night. Let's just say 3-4 miles is about my max. This could be bad if I plan to run the half marathon.
-Chipotle has been open for 2 weeks in Nashville. The line you ask? 30+ minutes long no matter when I go. I hear it stays that way the entire day too.
-Next weekend is Santa Rampage. I will be dressing up. Will I be drinking? That is TBD.
Have a great weekend!

(NY) City Love
My trip in pictures.
The view of Madison Avenue from our corner room
Holy Moly! That is some piece of cheesecake!
I still haven't made it to the Statue of Liberty. This will do for now.
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!
The Diamond District. I just love this one for some reason.
Radio City Christmas Spectacular!
The Burger Joint at Le Parker Meridian is one of my favorite places for a quick bite to eat.
BATTLE STUDIES!
St. Patrick's as view from the Saks Fifth Avenue Cafe. A greta place for mimosas.
Yummy Italian dinner where I may have finished almost a whole bottle of Antinori wine by myself...
St. Patrick's
Rockefeller Center
I love this one.
And this one too...
A lovely fall day in NYC.
How festive! And on the same block as our hotel.
Canal Street
This is how excited someone looks who just got 2nd row tickets!
The seats!
The stage
My love
SOLD OUT!

It's Been A Long Night in New York City
I have been back from NYC for almost a week and it feel like I just got back yesterday. This had to of been one of my favorite trips. I spent some quality time with my mom AND I got to see John Mayer
Ah yes John Mayer. Most people hate him, but you can't deny he can write some serious songs. His CD release show was last Tuesday at the Beacon Theater. I lucked out with the pre-sale and ended up with 7th row center seats. I was super excited! So on the day of the show two friends from Connecticut were coming into the city for the show, but they didn't have tickets. I told them that I had read on John Mayer's management's twitter that they were planning on releasing tickets at the box office at 1 PM day of show. Of course they tweeted this around 11:30. I already had lunch plans and couldn't make it to the Upper West Side in time, so I kind of forgot about the whole thing. I spent part of the afternoon shopping and around 3:30 Jenny and I decide to head up to the venue just to take a look and to find a bar. We arrive around 4:15 and see that there is a line at the box office and we decided to get in because it appears that they still have tickets available. It also appears that there are scalpers in the line too. We are maybe 15 people back in a line of mostly guys. We had been in line a few minutes and we see the guy who does the merch for John Mayer keep coming out and looking at the line. I finally get to the front of the line after hearing that some people got obstructed view tickets and the scalperish guy in front of us was being told Loge was the the best available. Right as I get to the front I see the guy who works for John Mayer give the box office worker a nod. The box office guy then asks me if I am excited for the show. I tell him I am and I came from Nashville. Blah, blah. He asks how many tickets I need. Two. He tells me he has two available. I want to know where they are and he points to a general area on the map in the center section. Definitely not obstructed and definitely not loge. He tells me they are good. At this point I am pretty inclined to believe him. Seconds later, I walk away with 2nd row DEAD center. My friends are now in the 7th row and I upgraded my seats :) I consider myself pretty lucky to have even had the 7th row seats, but to end up in the 2nd row was a compete surprise. Oh, and it was broadcast on Fuse. The only reason I am sharing this is because I think it is quite funny that I was on TV.
I haven't seen the entire show, but I do know that I am in this video around the 2 minute 34 second mark. I am singing like I wrote the song, so please forgive me ;)
