Melissa McCarthy. Octavia Spencer. Amy Poehler. Debra Messing.

“In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made, oh There’s nothing you can’t do, now you’re in New York These streets will make you feel brand new Big lights will inspire you, let’s hear it for New York New York, New York” -Jay-Z – Empire State Of Mind | MetroLyrics NYC. The Big Apple. The city that never sleeps. The concrete jungle. New freaking York! I recently just dipped my toe in the wonderful world of New York City. I have always said that Chicago is “my city”, but now I’m saying that New York is also “my city.” […]

Ode to Tina Fey

I really like Tina Fey. She was my favorite “Weekend Update” anchor on Saturday Night Live. I even liked her in Date Night with Steve Carrell. So when I found this “pin” on Pinterest, I read it and immediately liked Tina Fey even more. photo credit : Pinterest Need I say more? Have a great weekend!
