My dream diet
It would just consist of blueberries, chocolate, cheese, frozen yogurt, green tea, nachos, pasta, tomatoes and water. Perfetto.

On Broadway
I’ve been to New York a bunch of times over the past few years. (It’s MUCH cheaper and easier to get there from D.C. than from Florida.) I’ve partaken in many of the city’s culinary delights, and when I was there for MLK weekend, I ran along the East River for the first time. And though I’ve also been to shows on Broadway, off-Broadway, and even off-off-Broadway, I’d never had the satisfaction of...

Back to NYC
New Melanie took her first vacation nearly two months ago, to New York City. Now, she’s going back for a long weekend. Unfortunately, the weather won’t be as nice as it was in November, but at least I’ve got my Uggs to keep me warm.

It’s January and I still have a trace of a flip-flop tan. Floridian at heart. <3

So Jay-Z “dropped” a new song on his Web site about Blue Ivy Carter. (By the way—it’s officially Blue Ivy Carter now.) (Also, do you call raps “songs”? Is this a rap? I don’t know.)
Let’s get out our handy-dandy notebook and decode the Blue’s Clues in these lyrics, shall we? Oh, God, I hate…

I keep telling myself...
…the yummy turrón that Jackie Avial brought back from Spain is healthy because it’s made with almonds and honey. I’m right, aren’t I?

It's the end of the year, and I know it.
And I feel fine. As I mentioned in an earlier post, 2011 has been pretty transformative for me. A lot happened to allow me to feel happier and more comfortable with who I am. Things kind of fell into place in D.C., and while I’m not perfectly content here, I’m doing much better than the Melanie of 2010 was doing. I’ve traveled some rocky terrain, and certain events spawned other...
