Pink Ink Blog

Yesterday was brilliant. I got to go to Mood in the city! There are so many fabric shops out here, and it seriously makes me wonder why I am just stuck with Jo-Ann’s in Orlando. I am seriously contemplating opening up a fabric shop.

Anyway, I got some amazing vintagey and asian-inspired fabrics that you will see in execution later on after I get back home. While at Mood, Becca decided she wanted to make some chokers out of trimmings, and we of course had to try them all on.

Then we walked through times square for the obligatory “I’m in Times Square” photo. Since we happened to be right across from Sephora, we did that for about an hour then proceeded to my new favorite part of NY — Williamsburg.

We had an amazing dinner of sangria made with Cava, cheese and more cheese. My sandwich came with something the restaurant (Blackbird) calls Beet Tzatziki, but it didn’t taste much like beets. So, instead it was the perfect shade of pink — making that my standard for all tzatziki in my life moving forward.

Oh, and by the way — thank you Joshua Darling for posting the link to your network, because I reached an ALL TIME HIGH of 50 visitors yesterday.

The Levy family has always been procrastinators, from paying bills to studying for tests to making dentist appointments — always waiting until the last minute. I can’t tell you how many memories I have of being in elementary school and not having a permission slip from my mom the day of the field trip, and the school would have to call her…lol

Today, however, I did receive a nice surprise when I got back from lunch. An unexpected box sitting on my chair – from my mama. After I got halfway through the heavily taped box, I realized that my mom finally got around to sending me some Christmas Ale from the Great Lakes Brewing Company in Cleveland. Needless to say I am very excited to get boozing on this fine 7.5% alc./vol. craft beer.

One a side procrastination note — last night Push was honored with an Image Award from the Orlando Chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association for our work on the Smokey Bones Web Host program (for which I was leading the charge). Congrats to all Pushers involved. How was this procrastination you ask — I waited until about 5 hours before the deadline to prepare the entry.

As some of you know, I’m pretty active in Orlando young professional advertising club (Ad 2 Orlando).  In fact, we just launched our brand new website — check it.

Well, every other month, Ad 2 has a social where we all get together, drink, network, drink, dance, drink, etc. And this month — there’s a theme.  Let me give you a hint.  The name of the event is The Situation.

Mmhm, it’s Jersey Shore.  I’ve decided to take a toned-down, Snooki approach to the evening, resembling this quote from Vinny — minus some of the more obscene parts (remember this a professional networking event people). lol “Snooki’s outfit is crazy, she looks like a birthday cake, she’s all decorated, dressed up, with the pink, boobs all out up in her face, I guess she wants to go out with a big bang, literally.”

Pics to come later.  It’s okay, you can be jealous.

Also — a quick shout out to the Ad 2 Orlando Socials Committee — great job with designing the flier!

So, let’s be honest.  I’ve been less than diligent with this blog in mid-late 2009 — as occurs with most blogs I presume.  Since my 2009 resolution was to start a blog, I find it only fitting that one my 2010 resolutions is to manage it better.

I am going to put some time into really thinking about the purpose of this blog and a strategy for managing it regularly in addition to my 60 hour a week job.  I am open to suggestions.  I feel like Pink Ink Blog could be so much more than just sharing cool pink items I find on the Web.  I live, breathe and exude pink — and really want to find more ways to share that with all of you.

Pink Ink Blog may begin with pink office supplies, but I know it can go so much farther.  So, here’s to 2010 and more/better Pink Ink than you saw in 2009.
