One night, while tripping on mushrooms, you explained the significance of this song as it pertained to how you felt it must have been when your brother had his first child. That was the moment I fell in love with you.

About Blogging

2012-01-17T14:07:00.000-05:00

In the last week two of my favorite bloggers have disclosed life altering issues. One's house burned to the ground, and the other is getting divorced. I do not know these women. But I have been reading their lives, or at least that which they share, from this computer screen for so many years, it's like an actual friend is confiding in me their own devastation. Weird what makes up society today...

Amazing how even when saying unfamiliar words, your voice still sounds like home to me.

Lunch

2012-01-03T14:29:00.000-05:00

Sitting here perusing through the tabloid garbage as I do everyday at lunch. Looking forward to heading home, to making dinner, and sitting at my coffee table with a glass of sparkling cider. And then realizing that none of that exists anymore. Losing my apartment has felt like losing a limb, and while I know I'm being over dramatic, it doesn't change the fact that I may not drive in the right direction for the next few days when I head "home".

Different

2012-01-03T13:34:00.000-05:00

I officially now live in one room. Well, to be fair, a room that is about the same size as the whole of my last apartment, a bathroom to rival those of 3 star hotels, and a closet that is larger than my first kitchen. But because it is upstairs in my father's house, and I am almost 32 years old, it is one room.

Oh god!

2011-11-22T12:25:00.000-05:00

I just overhead the woman I work with asking someone on the phone if the Atlantic coast was on "our side or the other side" of the country....

I have to say this whole Occupy Wall Street Campaign has actually made me feel a bit better about myself and my own economics. Though the stress of working constantly, yet still being broke has taken a larger toll than I ever imagined, and now I can feel it eating away at my health...which is a precious commodity to begin with as I can't afford to have health insurance on top of all my other luxuries like water and electricity! The fact that a single paycheck barely covers my rent has made me realize that it is time to face the facts. I fought a good fight trying to stay out of my parents' house, but it just no longer seems plausible in this economy. The allure of being able to pay for gas to get to work just seems too brilliant at this point. I hate feeling like I'm admitting defeat. Didn't I used to live on just as much 4 years ago? True, my rent has risen maybe $20 since then...but I just can't imagine that 4 years ago I was making less than I do now, yet making more ends meet. I admit defeat.

I can probably guarantee its not as weird as mine.

New favorite lunch

2011-08-31T13:04:00.000-04:00

Smoked salmon, cream cheese, cucumber, capers, arugula and a dash of sriracha on french bread. Don't know why I've been bothering with fancy boutique bought sandwiches. They never live up to the hype.

I love when my day at work feels like a dance party!

Tough choices

2011-08-18T10:17:00.000-04:00

I have fallen in love and it hurts because in my heart I know it's just not meant to be. It's 900sq ft in the Stockade district with two fireplaces, and granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, and tin ceiling, and grandness beyond all grandness. It's nothing I ever imagined I would want, yet everything I've always needed. Its gorgeous! And it's about $150 out of my price range at the moment. :( Now the question, do I haul ass and figure out a way to make this magnificent piece of property mine? Or realize that it's just not meant to be, and keep moving on?

Domesticity

2011-08-05T15:19:00.003-04:00

"These are only temporary anyway" he said as he finished hanging the final (of 4) set of blinds that took a total of 2 hours and countless dropped and lost screws, to get up.

I looked down at the 12 year old, tobacco stained, dusty, once white $4 curtain that had miraculously made the cut in the move. The once temporary coverings, that the $4 cheap plastic blinds were now replacing. I smiled up at his proud, self satisfied face on the ladder.

"Of course babe, totally only temporary".

This just got serious...

It's not a big secret that I already have an uncontrollable problem with hot chocolate. But this just made everything 100x worse!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate

Ingredients

2 cups skim milk

1½ ounces bittersweet chocolate

1½ ounces milk chocolate

3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks, for serving

Preparation Instructions

In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm milk until it just begins to simmer and bubbles form around the edge of the pan. Whisk in chocolates and peanut butter until melted and smooth. Cover and continue warming over low heat until warm. For a thicker cup of cocoa, simmer hot chocolate uncovered until desired thickness is achieved. Ladle hot chocolate into individual mugs and top a dollop of whipped cream.

What is UP?

2010-12-29T11:31:00.000-05:00

My brain has been totally misfiring since Sunday night! Night time hallucinations, muscle spasms...perhaps my fall affected more than my wrist?

Lessons in Chicken

2010-12-20T10:02:00.000-05:00

For the past three years I have been trying, apparently futilely, to recreate my father's Chicken Cacciatore recipe. I've done everything he's said, researched other recipes, wasted a lot of really good and bad wine. This past week, money is tight, and the cupboard is light, so I took what I had, and decided to follow my own instincts and budget...and I nailed! Now it may not be exactly like what I knew growing up, not better or worse, but it works. And for the first time, I was happy, and won't waste an entire crock pot of chicken.
This opened my eyes to a whole host of ways this affects my life. And I've relaxed a little bit, opened up a little bit, and am finally allowing the tides to run their course, instead of trying to manipulate it my way.
Now if only this will run into the job search!

Arrrrrgh....!

2010-12-15T10:45:00.000-05:00

Yesterday to beat the cold, and the stress, we had a Pirates of the Carribean Marathon. All three movies in one afternoon/evening. Over 6 hours of Johnny Depp...swoon!

Really like this one too...

2010-11-28T18:44:00.003-05:00

Too bad the few other songs by this artist I checked out were kind of lame...but this song definitely rings my bell!

Well,

2010-11-28T18:42:00.002-05:00

the CMAs are definitely making me fall in love with country music again...and making me cry! Damn this emotional weekend!

Twit

2010-11-28T16:52:00.001-05:00

Once again, Twitter has thwarted my attempts to join. Tried to pull my contacts from my email...three times...each time an error. I shall not be denied!! Facebook just feels way too small.

2010-11-19T10:30:00.003-05:00

Wow...weird dream. Weird weird dream!
So last night, I fell asleep on the couch at some ridiculously early hour, after having a glass and a half of wine with dinner. Woke up at 12:30, completely disorientated, and some how, kind of wide awake. Awake enough to consider having some chocolate and watch Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. It was only 12:30 after all! I decided against it though, brushed my teeth, and crawled into bed. I was having trouble falling back to sleep though. I think I'm getting sick, as I've been having some breathing issues and pretty regular anxiety attacks.
The next thing I know, I wake up on a strange couch, in a strange apartment, tripping my face off! I finally realize I'm at a friend's new apartment outside of Rhinebeck, but I can't figure out why I feel so f*cked up! I see a bunch of people hanging outside so I try to join them, but I'm the girl whose totally wrecked, and I feel really embarrassed as I keep falling down and knocking stuff over and slurring my words. I spill beer every where, multiple times. All over my friend's lap top, all over my own stuff. Unable to follow conversations, I walk away to smoke a cigarette. Some girls I know of but don't know personally are there, talking about going to Getty to get soda. The one offers me a ride, and I desperately want to go home, but can barely keep my wits about me. I have no idea how I've gotten to this place, or why, but my car is there, so I decide to try and save face, and feel at least a bit safer and more comfortable in my environment. I put the seats down and curl up in the back to try and sleep off whatever I've been slipped. I wake up back in my own bed completely confused and disorientated.
What the hell was that about?!?!

Life Changing

2010-11-18T11:30:00.000-05:00

A week ago I bought this for camping

Its an all in one personal coffee press for backpacking/camping. I had to try it out off the trail for the first time of course though, right? Oh my! This little bugger made some of the most amazing coffee to ever come off my kitchen counter! I am hooked, and now may need to buy a second one to keep in the camp box!
But the story doesn't end there.
After I bought the press, I bought one of these. (the Brown one)

Now, I have always loved to go coffee, but I've also always known that it's all about the specific type of top. Don't know why, but it just makes it taste better to come out of that molded top. And now, I never have to drink my coffee out of anything else ever again!
It's been a great week for caffeine!

Up before the sun. Yet still running out of time to get everything done. Probably shouldn't be wasting time on the internet....

Strange dream about Nan Nan driving...cape cod...Mountain Jam and the cast of Friends. Felt like I slept until noon, but was only 8 am. Long day.

Saturday Night

2010-10-31T10:08:00.000-04:00

Avoided the antics of Halloween in Tivoli with our own Annie Hall-o-ween. And had a much better time!

This sucks!

2010-10-29T12:56:00.000-04:00

Oh the irony! So all of the shows I WANTED to buy tickets to this last week, but didn't...were all postponed. The one show I DID buy tickets to? That one went off with out a hitch, and we had to miss it due to work. And now I'm out $90. Bah!

Today Show

2010-10-29T10:06:00.000-04:00

The Today Show films, in real time, in NYC. So why are Kathie Lee and Hoda always drinking wine during their 10am show? It's disturbing.

Sliding Doors

2010-10-22T10:53:00.000-04:00

Oh god, so last night we watched Hot Tub Time Machine (which is kind of ridiculous). And so I had a dream involving time space continuum...where my current self came across an alternate self, in a rather compromising situation. I then spent the rest of the time trying to hide from the alternate self so as to not disrupt her reality as well as my own. Couple that up with dreaming about being attacked by an endless onslaught of bears, and needless to say, it was a long night!

Gah!

2010-10-22T10:28:00.002-04:00

It sounds like the gardener's grinding rocks outside my window right now and it's PISSING ME OFF!!!!

For lunch, I'm eating smoked salmon that the boy caught and we learned how to smoke ourselves.
For dinner, I'm braising pheasant that another friend shot last week
20 year old Lindsay would never have hung out with 30 year old Lindsay! I love it!

Executing the Rainy Day Couch Curl

2010-10-01T17:34:00.000-04:00

Hauled out the big guns...down comforter, favorite pillow, barrage of girl movies. Snuggle time on the couch with my boys - minus the human one :( . I love days like this!

CD Baby

2010-09-28T14:17:00.002-04:00

Got the first actual cd I've bought in at LEAST 4 years, today in the mail. Having the tangible thing feels better than mere hard drive clutter. May be switching back old school....

Autumn Walk

2010-09-27T16:03:00.000-04:00

Went for a walk into town in the drizzle this afternoon. On the way home, I passed the window of the only neighbor I actually like around here. She was playing such a heartfelt bluesy version of Amazing Grace on the harmonica, that I had to stop and listen for a few extra seconds.

Lovely afternoon!

Experiments

2010-09-27T11:56:00.001-04:00

Determining the perfect ration between bread and brie. This just may take all day....

Makes me actually want to get to work....

2010-09-26T14:33:00.000-04:00

Freelancing has made weekend appreciation non existent. But what I have come to love is our ritual of Sunday sloth.
Fresh Our Daily Bread Baguette, with toppings like roasted hot peppers and Gorgonzola, farmer's cheese, brie or muenster and chicken salad. Today, we got to add warmed apple cider. Snuggling on the couch watching football...waiting for the crock pot to finish cooking.
I love fall Sundays!

Morning musings

2010-09-20T09:26:00.000-04:00

I have an inexplicable desire for a freak snow. I wish that's how it worked.

Crazy dreams about my apartment burning down, coupled with not being prepared for a deadline....whoa stress!

Woke up this morning to a man's voice in my bedroom. Cash has learned how to turn on the stereo. We were not amused.

Lovely weekend doing the things Single Lindsay loves to do. Absolutely nuthin'! Cleaned, grocery shopped, cooked. Didn't socialize. Stayed up until all hours watching baaad tv. It was lovely. But I'm glad to have my squinty home!

I've felt blocked, for weeks. Emotionally blocked. Something in the last 12 hours has switched though, and released. Welcome fall!

Girl Interrupted

2010-09-10T12:31:00.000-04:00

Had the second dream, in roughly about a month, last night that involved Angelina Jolie. I don't really even like her all that much...can not understand why she has suddenly invaded my subconscious. Only this time she was accompanied by Leah Remini. Is this what happened when you get older? Celebrities start worming their way in? Is this why so many middle aged women stand in check out lines swooning over the latest picture of Gerard Butler with his shirt off?

A bear dressed in S&M surrounded by goth/punk kids raving in a backyard.
Eating a never ending amount of tacos in my childhood kitchen.
Taking care of an ever worsening Niki...as she pees solids and loses hair.
Some sort of large event where I am publicly heart broken.

These are just some of the stills from my recent dreams....None are really disturbing. Just different.

Just fell in love

2010-08-15T10:25:00.000-04:00

Shame I've pretty much decided children aren't for me, at least maybe I found the name for the puppy we're looking to adopt...Elka!

Tabloid Invasion

2010-08-15T10:19:00.000-04:00

The other night I dreamed that Angelina Jolie was my mother. She was an assassin, and a big group of us were staying at this modern compound on an exotic island, targeting someone. While there, she adopted two Brazilian babies. I was babysitting them while she was out on a hit. Someone invaded the room where we were located, and I watched Mike kill a man in a primal rage to protect us. Then suddenly we were all fleeing on a plane, Angelina continuously having sex with this group of Brazilian "houseboys". I was disgusted. Then the dream switched to the first week of college, and Mike and I were in a bike race through the halls of the dorm. I was winning, and well on my way to $2500. Until I had to pee. Suddenly I'm in a bathroom stall surrounded by the girls from high school who were a year below me. All gossiping and girl talking. The stall suddenly was filled with all of my possessions, and I was trying to pack everything up and load it on my back so I could find Mike and we could begin our new life together....I woke up alone, and sweating.
These life changes are so exciting and unexpected.

fallen into reclusivity

2010-08-12T09:45:00.000-04:00

after a summer of vacations, and bbqs, and parties, and just general merriment....I came home from this last trip and crashed. Reorganized my apartment, and haven't left it since. Invites to dinner-no thanks! Swimming today-can't. Hermitage suites me from time to time, and now is one of those times. Frantically seeking a new place to live. Fall is fast approaching, and I would love to be back over on the other side of the river, submerged in New Paltz and foliage and fall stews. Fingers crossed!

barf

2010-08-10T20:37:00.000-04:00

Didn't, but desperately wanted to! Laid up on the couch for the afternoon racked with terrible waves of nausea. Thank god for Mikey who brought me ginger ale, and VH1 that entertained me with crappy reality shows.
Haven't been sick in a very long time it feels, just glad it appears to have passed! Now, I'm starved!

I want to go back

2010-08-09T10:13:00.001-04:00

A week long celebration with some of my best girlfriends and their significant others went off without a hitch. In fact, it went better than I could have ever imagined! I, once again, learned a lot about myself, my love, our relationship, and Trader Joe's. Oh yes, my friends are obsessed with it! Everything in the fridge was Trader Joe this, or Trader Joe that. Needless to say, it was an organic weekend!

blech!

2010-08-02T14:01:00.002-04:00

Really strange pms food cravings...so of course, lunch today was popcorn and hot dogs! Now I feel sick...but still craving chocolate sprinkles.

Foodie Coma

2010-08-02T11:07:00.001-04:00

It was a weekend of pig roasts and block parties....and I was all pictured out. Let somebody else do the documenting for a time!
We did manage to get in a truly yummy meal yesterday however, between waking up in the early evening, and going back to sleep just past night fall.
Pork tenderloin rubbed with black peppercorns, fresh herbs and lime juice, with a salad of fresh from the garden tomatoes, calamata olives and silky feta over arugala with grilled onions and summer squash.
And such lovely bites at the block party! This is not your Long Island Neighborhood! No doritos and hot dogs here! Farm fresh salsas and grilled peaches, three day marinated chicken and grass fed hamburgers.
Food = just one of the many things I love about living in the Hudson Valley!

And now...preparing for a 6 day beach adventure. Trip is delayed slightly due to weather. But there's no hold on the excitement!

Lunchtime leftover adventures continue

2010-07-30T13:06:00.002-04:00

Today, leftover beer can chicken recycled into orchard style chicken salad, on whole grain bread with jarlsberg and a dill pickle spear....

Lunch

2010-07-28T12:59:00.000-04:00

After spending 5 days in the woods eating sausages, and prepackaged rice mixes, and mac-n-cheese...foods for 14 year olds...I vowed to come home and purge.
Dinners at Luna-grilled veggies and tuna with friends-and today...left over grilled tuna over baby arugula with a squeeze of lemon juice and a shot of sriracha. Perfect fuel to head back to work!

Packing

2010-07-21T12:59:00.000-04:00

before camping has gotten remarkably easier since the first time two years ago. Loving that I've become so organized in this department, and have everything pre-packed in it's own bags just for such pick-up-and-go occasions! Can not wait to wake up that first morning on my island surrounded by mountains!

So

2010-07-19T23:04:00.002-04:00

this is why helicopters seem to keep circling my house?

Out with the old

2010-07-19T12:52:00.001-04:00

and in with the new...to us at least. Bye bye old 70s flowers!! You were a great couch, but it was time for a change!

It feels like fall...so cool, and breezy. Grey skies for the first time in what feels like months!
Making a special pot of Costa Rican Coffee. Planning a day of cleaning, reading and laundry, as work seems to have dried up for a bit. It will be a good day!

Wait! What's this now? Today they plan on beginning the drainage construction outside my bedroom? What? The truck's already here? And that right there...that's the jackhammer that will be running for the next 8 hours while they break up the pavement? Grrrrrrr..............

2010-07-07T09:34:00.000-04:00

It has been three days since my last cigarette. What's been cool is that it wasn't a conscious decision. Just suddenly didn't seem very appealing anymore. Even being around smokers hasn't really fazed me. Of course, All Good will be a guilt free zone. What will be will be...I just finally feel my body's just over it!

What a holiday!

2010-07-05T21:48:00.000-04:00

New Paltz...Rhinebeck...Movie night...Gerry Stock...boating...impromptu lighthouse parties...rope swings into creeks...bbq with besties...
Just over 40 hours until the next adventure!

Beat the heat!

Thoroughly enjoying the new found swim spot!

Too Tired...

2010-06-23T08:32:00.000-04:00

Guess I never took my contacts out last night when I went to bed, so this morning, was very concerned to find only a right one in the case. Put it on, and everything went wonky. Took it out, and realized I could see BETTER...d'oh! After ruling out a miracle, I figured out what had happened. no wonder when I looked out the window this morning I was taken aback by how lush and rain forest like Mike's backyard is!
Had strange dreams though...dreamt I was so thirsty I chugged a container of half-n-half (which still makes me feel queezy just thinking about); Mike and Hazel were getting along again, and hanging out like best buds at one of our bbqs; and then the Tivoli Water Tower caught on fire and began spreading through the town, and I had to figure out how to get through the fire to my house to save the boys.
This was just one of many vivid, specific dreams I've been having recently. Who needs acid? I just fall asleep and trip!

I remember being 15 and on a camping trip with my parents. They asked what was in my walkman that I'd been listening to so religiously the entire trip up to the Adirondacks. The asked to listen to it. My uber christian mother heard this song...out of the entire album...and for the next 3 years assumed I was suicidal. Gotta love Jesus!

30

2010-06-10T23:15:00.000-04:00

30 has been awesome! I have to say. J is turning 30 in August, and having the usual trepidation. But I assured him, 30 has been phenomenal! This summer is going to rock! Festivals, amazing concerts, free tickets to summerstage, a steady stream of work that pays really well...the over all happiness level is pretty much a 10 at this point! Now if I could just get my head to leave my head alone...

This weekend there were 2 Lindsays on the mountain. Saturday morning, my phone rang, and it was Mike. He was standing 10 feet away. He asked what I was up to. I responded, enthusiastically "I'm at Mountain Jam dude!" He responded "Where you been?" I said, "Ummmm....I'm right next to you! These are weird questions." He looked around, saw me, and realized he'd called the wrong Lindsay.
Tonight, I got two emails from A. The first a picture of him in high school with the caption "Your wish is my command". Then immediately after a retraction, saying sorry, sent you the wrong email, followed by a series of pictures of the OTHER Lindsay.
How all of these Mikes and Pats work through the world on a daily basis is beyond me!

Fire on the Mountain

2010-06-07T17:55:00.000-04:00

1 friend detained for illegal substances.
1 friend poked in the eye with a tree branch, and forced to wear an eye patch the remainder of the weekend..
1 15 minute violent rain shower passed by huddling underneath a tiny umbrella with Mikey.

72 consecutive hours of dancing, laughing, and love.
2 feet, legs, hips and arms that for the next 12 hours will be paralyzed in sleep/recovery.

Wacky Wednesday

2010-06-02T23:52:00.000-04:00

I had a surreal day. I bought my first tent, a fantastic fleece, a dry bag, a headlamp, and a water bottle. I felt very woodsy and survivalist, until I shared my scores with T, and his response was "So everything YOU need for a walk home from the bar." Booo....
Went back to trivia for the first time in a semester (hate that I still measure my life in those...damn Bardie friends), when the woman who lives below me comes up all excited to "finally run into me at the bar". I do not like that people that live around me know my haunts. She was even hanging out with people I know! Perhaps its weird, but when i come crashing back home on my bike in the middle of the night, I don't want the people that are my neighbors to know where I've been. Plus she asked about the night the cops were called and came to my front door. Fortunately, she got MUCH more drunk on the Swan's cheap white wine, than I did on my half pints of Organic Ale. Her name's Stephanie, and I think she wants to be friends. I have not decided if this is a good thing or not.

Inspiration

2010-05-26T13:33:00.000-04:00

Cleaned my desk, and rearranged some lighting in order to be more focused. Suddenly, I prefer working at dusk, rather than dawn. We'll see how long this lasts!

Psychological Ringtones

2010-05-24T16:12:00.000-04:00

Changed the ring tone for my clients to one that's more soothing, so I don't necessarily answer quite so agitated anymore. However, it is SO soothing, that I am now prone to not hear it. Back to the drawing board.
