In Feb 2006 I made the biggest move of my life. I left sunny So Cal and landed in fabulous NYC. Not knowing how long I would stay or how well I would adjust I just went with it and am determined to enjoy every moment I can. This blog will chronical my NY experiences and hopefully highlight the reasons I decided to make such a daring move. Enjoy!!!

Hotel Michelle

When I was younger I used to wonder what it might be like to own and operate a Bed and Breakfast in Santa Barbara or even Malibu. I would have the cutest two story place and a great kitchen with an island. I would make pancakes and eggs every morning and the sun would shine bright.

Years later I opened Hotel Michelle in Queens, New York! lol

Ha ha...actually I have allowed a couple friends to stay with me to help with bills and give them a much needed place to crash. I knew getting my own decent sized pad would be a blessing in some way.

First, of course, I gave Jason (ex-roomie) a place to live for 3 months. That made me never want to do that again. Then Ashki found herself in need of a bed...so I took her in for a couple days until she went to Europe....her rent = couple beers! lol

Following Ashki's European departure, a friend from Cali found himself in need of a two week rental. I gladly offered my futon/livingroom to him. He is a sweet guy from Santa Barbara and moved to NY for much of the same reasons as I did. He is looking for work and trying to figure out the living sitch here in the big city.

Once Eric leaves to his new spot near Times Square, Ashki will return from her gallivanting around Europe and make my livingroom her home again. lol I don't mind Ashki at all (or Eric for that matter) as she is so much fun...and we laugh constantly together...plus with her I can walk around half naked and she doesn't care! lol

I feel bad that Hotel Michelle isn't as much like my dream Bed and Breakfast on the west coast. It is a cheap and easy East Coast version. There are no pancakes and eggs, its a one story, and there is not tons of sunlight, but I think I make up for it with my friendly smile and walking around in a bra! lol
