I've started to get ready for my trip to New York this weekend.. I'm getting my hair cut tonight (the receptionist informs me I haven't been in since November! Yikes!), and I've started checking weather.com each morning to see what the New York sky has in store for me. It looks like Friday and Sunday will be dreary (with yucky, rainy plane rides), but Saturday looks like it could be pretty nice!

So far the plans are fairly simple: Spend lots of quality time with Ms. Olga and Ms. Jessey; Incorporate some much-needed pampering at the acclaimed Jin Soon; feed creative appetites at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum; feed real-world appetites at Lalo, Joya, and (I hope!) many many others; and feed consumer appetites by poking around fun boutiques in NoLiTa and the East Village. Can you tell I'm really looking forward to it!?!
