Hooker with a heart of gold

Ok, not really. Just an intro since my work computer has allowed ProBoards to go all the way with me, whereas it kept the Board-That-Must-Not-Be-Named firmly at first base.

• Live in northern NJ, work in Manhattan
  
• Married 2+ yrs (we were together for 2, engaged for 1.5)
  
• No kids but I am counting the days til we TTC, which will be right around:
  
• This fall when we go on our month-long road trip around the country (very excited about this)
  
• Work in the city most weeks, work from home some days (usually when I have DVR to catch up on)
  
• I have 1 simple human trash can, a small one in the bathroom. I just needed one with a lid and it was on sale at BBB.
  
• ML Reg's Judgements: I like Lucy. Her posts are smart, with a nice helping of smart-ass and snark. I like Tamb, nice and sweet. The fact the Sue Sue likes my avatar kind of made my day. Fkls is awesome. I can't think of anyone I dislike, there were some on TN that kind of sucked, but they were all dealt the swift hand of justice so I'm grateful to ML's finest for takin' out the trash.
  

So... hi!

Tell me about this cross country road trip! I might have google mapped potential trips for my bucket list :-)

Sue²: I got my Nine West ones at DSW, I can't find them anymore but I think these are gorgeous in this color combo; the're called 'Sheryl':

I love all things shoe-related, so I will always answer posts asking for shoe help (and even if you don't ask! ha)

sprky - I forgot to mention you as well, I think you're pretty cool and like your posts

H's company give all employees a one-month long sabbatical every 5 yrs of employment (they're a British company, they believe in things like that, god bless the Queen) so we decided to hit the road. Luckily I have enough seniority at my company to get 3 weeks paid, and they're throwing in another week in lieu of a bonus since I basically did my job and my boss's job while she was out on maternity leave. They owe me! LOL.

We're VERY into food exploring, do it in the city all the time, and so we're pretty much going to be drivin' and eatin', drivin' and eatin', lookin' at the world's biggest ball of yarn, drivin' and eatin'. We're cross-referencing places from "No Reservations", "Layover", "Best Thing I Ever Ate" and getting tips from FB from anybody local. If ML likes me enough, I'll ask for food reco's from the road!

ETA: Oh, and we're doing a "perimeter" trip - down to Florida (Disney! Food & Wine Festival! YAY), over to NOLA, speeding like hell thru Tx (we'll stop for BBQ in Austin but that's it), Roswell for H'ween, Grand Canyon, Vegas, San Fran, Portland, Seattle, <nothing nothing nothing> Mt. Rushmore <nothing nothing> Chicago, State College (I'm a Penn Stater) and home. Phew!
