Back in NYC.....

Well here's the first of hopefully many of the blogs to document my time back in the big apple. I think I'm still in denial I'm back. Not that I'm totally miserable about it, I do see the silver lining in some of this. I'm close to my ny peeps who I have felt disconnected with since living in Boston - there's the great take out, the cheap mani's and of course the amazing nightlife. I'm not a museum person and have never claimed to be so those "perks" people love to talk about don't interest me (despite my mother's disapproval of this). The truth is, I loved Boston - at first, I hated it. Refused to say I lived there, never embraced the "nation" and certainly took every opportunity to rip the restaurants and nightlife apart. But four years and two kids made me realize I'm a NY girl living a wonderful Boston lifestyle and what the HELL was I complaining about? Maybe I just love to complain or maybe I just always knew in my heart of hearts that there will always be things about NYC I love and when I was in my "roaring" 20's there was no place else to be but now that I had embraced motherhood and all that goes along with it - the packed 6pm restaurant and quiet sidewalks were just fine with me. When I first moved to Boston all I heard was "it's an early to bed town" well all of sudden I was the one crawling into bed at 10pm on a Friday night and I was fine with it. I loved driving to Target, well pretty much driving anywhere and now I bet my car will be wondering where the hell I am as it enjoys it's very overpriced spot. There's so much to write on the subject of Boston vrs NYC and I am sure as I begin to blog tidbits will come out about my love and hate for both cities. But I'm back in NYC and I might as well turn that frown upside down, get out there and meet some new people. Since being here I can openly admit I haven't left my apartment very much. I am sure we can dive down deep into the psychosis of this but for now let's just say I have two kids with two very different schedules and a lot of unpacking, organizing and home "making" to do :) Let's just say that for now.
