It’s February, and we’re in the middle of one of the worst winters in New York City to date. So, I decided my life needed a little color and brightness added to it. Solution? Paint an accent wall in my bedroom! Color of choice? Pink of course :) You guys know me well enough that I’m sure you would have guessed that though! After work I headed down to Home Depot for some paint and painting supplies and back uptown to work it was! Chris was nice enough to come over to let me borrow his height for taping and painting the top of my wall. I think pink is secretly his color too from the picture. Haha! Anyways, here is a peak at the project in the works. I’ll have final pics for you tomorrow!
Driving in New York is something that is worth discussing. I’ve mentioned that the cabbies drive like maniacs, but the longer I’m here I’ve noticed everyone in this city drives pretty crazy! I can’t speak from personal experience, because I don’t have a car here, but waiting for public transportation and walking around the city I do a lot of observing.
Honking, 20 over the speed limit, U-turns in the middle of a 4 lane street, running red lights, and failing to yield. I’ve seen it all! The driving attitude here is really fend for yourself, because no one is looking out for you. Defensive driving at its finest! No one is enforcing safer driving here either. I suppose the police of New York City have better things to focus their time on.
I have friends who have explained to me they love driving in the city because it’s thrilling.. but I think I’ll catch my trills another way though, because I’m not sure I’m as aggressive as a driver as you’d have to be here. Traffic and dealing with crazy drivers isn’t really my thing. I think I’m more of a drive down the back-country roads kind of girl than city driving. So until I meet the country roads again I think I’ll stick to my monthly unlimited MetroCard and try not to get hit by the cars!
