Snow Day! Nay...

Remember when you were little and the first snowstorm of the season hit and all you could do was pray that school was canceled? for some reason when you get older and are no longer in school, those feelings somewhat change. Although a day off from work seems like a gift sent from up above...those who are not as fortunate actually have to trudge through the snow and deal with the crappy delayed MTA. Tomorrow New York is expected to get hit with a foot of snow and it's caused so much uproar that all schools are closed as well as some businesses.

Of course my job is open, but looks like I probably won't be making it in. I could use a day off, seeing as I feel like I haven't a day off to relax in awhile and it would be nice to just sleep in.
Being busy this whole time has made me neglect some things and I've realized my hair is beginning to look like a flat plant on my head...I found this haircut and color which I really liked on this American Idol contestant, Ashley Rodriguez:



Can't wait to get it :-)

New changes are a'coming....

This past week and a half has taken me down a different route than I'd expected recently. I can only say that it's a godsend because I was seriously growing bored with the emptiness of my life. I started interning twice a week at NYMetroparents magazine and am part of the editorial department. I FINALLY get to experience some aspect of journalism in an actual office setting and see what magazines are all about. Even though I just started I am liking it and hope it leads to something more promising than an unpaid intern position.
My duties entail researching topics which are supposed to attract parents and a kid related audience. So far they've been teaching me how to use their website and such...perhaps there will be some firsthand writing later on...
This week is doppleganger week on Facebook, which pretty much means you have to post a picture of a celebrity that looks like you. I'm one of the sad few that doesn't have a celebrity twin...and I'm cool with it. Sure I wish I could resemble some hot young starlet but at the same time don't I value my individuality? I guess I'm glad I can proudly say I'm one of a kind ;)
