How to be a 20-Something
DEC. 13, 2010
By RYAN O’CONNELL
Be really attractive. Your acne is gone, your face has matured without having wrinkles and everything on your body is lifted naturally. Eat bagels seven days a week, binge-drink and do drugs: you’ll still look like a babe. When you turn thirty, it’ll become a different story but that’s, like, not for a really long time.

Dear 2010,
Please slow down. I know there are only 3 days left but can you please stop!? Last night for the first time in a long time I didn’t have TIME for dinner. (but obviously made my self sit down for an apple and like 5 sips of soup and I didn’t even have time to finish my glass of wine). I always joke about how it boggles my mind when people forget meals and now I understand. I hope it...
yesssssssss
Just booked a deep tissue massage at Great Jones Spa with a gift card I got from my boss’ wife! (nicest person EVER)
January 9th I will be relaxing for manymany hours. Perfect after the crazy holidays but right before my huge work event!
I think I may treat myself to a massage every 2 months. I think it’s a good investment :)
blog post 10 million of the day
It’s short… but the blizzard outside is CRAZY. At this rate I think I’ll wake up to 5 feet of snow. EEK!!
Why are you single?
One of the lamest questions someone could ask. Honestly, how are you supposed to respond to that?? I’m single because I’m crazy. I’m single because no one likes me. I’m single because I’m a bitch. I’m single because I have no freaking clue why I’m single!?!?!?!?!? Ask the million million men in New York why they don’t date me?
But since the person...
More snoowww

So I was in Starbuck’s this morning and got a tall iced americano in a grande cup. Put in my milk then went to grab a splenda. Started reaching in my pocket for one of the 5 splendas I stole yesterday, then realized that would be very weird and took a fresh one from their bin. :)
me: here’s a diet coke over ice… sorry we didn’t have any cold cans
coworker: I wouldn’t trust an open beverage from amanda!
me: ya I definitely rufied it.
guest: i think you were talking about roofies last time i was here..
me: ohh ya… roofie colada my favorite drink…
guest: ya that was it.
SERIOUSLY!?
Caroline and Melissa came to my office for lunch!! Sooooo good to see both of them. I was looking forward to it all morning. I really do have the coolest friends in the world. All my cool friends should continue moving to NY.
And they brought these delicious treats for the office:
you're cute
I need a NYE dress.
Love this! Let it dough! →
thanks michelle :)
I walked up to a stranger last night and said hi. This is me stepping out of my comfort zone.
I don’t know when I became so shy but I have and it’s annnnooyyyiingggg. I’m not shy with anyone who actually knows me. See cute boy and I shut down. I guess I’ve always kind of been like that. Anyway, time to turn the light back on and step right out of that comfort zone.

Weather.com tells me it’s 20 degrees but feels like 5. I guessed 20 but feels like 10. oh winter, you have arrived in full force.
Advocating for someone’s life is not an easy task.
oh and
Dear future boyfriend,
Could you come into my life right about NOW so you can spoon with me on my really lazy relax in bed days? That’d be great.
Yours,
Amanda
I couldn't be happier
because I’m in my bed doing nothing and the only reason I know what time it is is cuz I’m on my computer blogging. I’m being a lazy piece of crap and I looovveeee it and will relish this moment.
I wish I could say I’ve been laying here since I woke up, but I can’t because we were crazy (and dedicated) and ran a 5k to support arthritis this morning in Prospect Park in...
I have a funny story.
Alex and I hosted our 2nd Annual Cookie Decorating party on Thursday. On Wednesday we wanted to bake the cookies. I’ll preface with I used the same dough and the same flour to roll everything last year. Everything was fine last year. I think our kitchen is cursed because…
Our first batch turned out like this!!!
Then we freaked out and totally thought something was wrong with the...

I think it’s a problem that it’s only December and I’m FREEZING in my puffy. My puffy is supposed to get me through actually freezing February. slightly nervous for the cold winter ahead. It’s 29 degrees.
it's definitely christmas season.
I think December is one of my favorite months in New York. It’s cold, but not too cold (except this past weekend brrrrrr). There are holiday decorations everywhere. All of the holiday markets are up and running. The department store windows are fully decorated. You can drink lots of hot chocolate and baileys. I feel warm and fuzzy inside. We have a Christmas tree. There are holiday...
I think I have bangs.
UNEXPECTED HAIRCUT! I went in saying I love the length, keep the long layers and I used to have side swept bangs that I sort of want to bring back. Hairdresser had a different idea hahahhhh. Me gusta though I think. need to get used to. and you can still sweep them, I think.
FLEET FOXES!! THATS THE SONG! White Winter Hymnal.
thankful.
I guess I’ll throw my three in.
I’m thankful for:
1. My friends (sister I consider you a friend).
2. My health.
3. My resilience.
Last night was our work holiday dinner. There were 17 of us and we had the private room at Maialino and it was amazing. The service was spectacular, the food was to die for, champagne and unreal wine, great company and dessert. I’m reallllllly happy with how it turned out. My boss even gave me a shout out in his toast which was extremely kind. Nights like last night remind me that I have...
I have a song stuck in my head and I want to listen to it but I completely forget who it’s by or what it’s called and all I can think of it how it sort of sound and may go like this… I was falling in the (something) and michael you (came?)
anyone?
having new awesome laptop= no need to upload pics to my work computer = not really blogging at work = lack of pictures on blog. I need to spend some time at home uploading pics to this thing!
Happy Hanukkah to my Jewish homies.

I can't stop laughing →
I'm going to complain.
This weather FREAKING BLOWS. This is my ALL TIME least favorite weather. Here is why (some of them are my bad):
It’s 59 degrees with some humidity.
It’s raining.
It’s SO windy the rain comes from every single direction.
Which means your umbrella is absolutely useless. If you don’t wear socks up to your knees with rain boots that go that high then they are suctioned to...
