Battled tendonitis in my left foot... and lost.

Walked every inch of the city.
Bought the cliche I Heart NY Shirt.
Ate biscotti and espresso in Little Italy.
Visited my old stomping grounds at Alvin Ailey
Found a Trader Joe's (surprise surprise)
Took a jazz class at Broadway Dance Center.
Pictured myself living in the city
Saw 3 rats.
Went to Rice to Riches and had chocolate hazelnut rice pudding

I am glad you had a good time! Take Care!

ReplyDeleteATTENTION:
ReplyDeleteI would like you all to know that this person writing this blog: All About Ashleigh
http://allashleigh.blogspot.com/
is a FAKE. She has been impersonating me, stealing my written work and my pictures which is IDENTITY THEFT. She also plagiarizes a lot of my writing and makeup reviews...
She refuses to remove my pictures from her blog and if you go through my blogs and look through posts such as this one:
http://rantingsofafashionaddict.blogspot.com/2009/05/strolling-yorkville-happy-7-years.html
you will notice that she has stolen these.
I would appreciate any help such as a comment to her blog acknowledging that this person is a fraud, a post about this....
This is wrong and I hope you understand how I feel
Sincerely
The REAL Ashleigh .....
