I love you in the morning...

I came into work to actually get caught up from the horrific day I had last Friday, but this seems like a much better idea. It was a pretty busy weekend.

Friday- had a very busy day at work since a lot of people were out sick so a lot of my work got pushed aside to deal with more pressing matters and by 5 pm when I had some time to pay attention to my research I was so mentally done I just decided to let it go to today. Left work and went back to Brooklyn, while unlocking my door I turned around to see my friend Matt walking past my house. He moved into the neighborhood over the weekend with his girlfriend, it just goes to show how awesome the neighborhoods are since more and more of my friends are moving close by.

Eric and I got ready and jumped on the A train to 175th street (yes Harlem) to this amazing church (I am totally guessing it has to be some kind of gospel place they way it was set up, that or a Evangelical place, but that doesn’t really fit to be in Harlem). Block party was great even though I think we were in the last row in the place but we were able to see. We missed the 1st band since it took an hour to get up to the venue and didn’t pay too much attention to the 2nd but were silly and danced in our aisle during block party. The nice part was the demographic was pretty similar to our age group, unlike when we went to see Death Cab last year and it was us and 9 million 14 years olds. That was depressing. Just headed home and ate some nachos and went to bed ( I may or may not have fallen asleep on the train on the way home, luckily I had Eric who was battling to stay awake so we wouldn’t miss our stop).


Saturday- I woke up nice and early and met Kristen. We headed into Park Slope to go have Brunch at 2nd Street Café since Eric was there instead of at Tocqueville covering a shift. On our way we were apart of the local little league parade(see picture) and Kristen broke out the artistic nature on the table, which could have contributed to the cute manager at the place picking up the tab (or the fact that the cute manager happens to be my “room mate”), We stopped by the book store and walked around a bit, We went back to my old apt and fell asleep watching True Hollywood story: Brittney and Kevin! (you can tell how intellectually stimulating it had to be for us both to be passed out within 10 minutes of it). Met up with Cate at the nail place and got to listen to this crazy woman who was trying to bring her dog into the salon (big health no no!) so she ties it to the door (so sad!) then all you hear is her screaming while they waxed parts of her I am sure I would never like to know about.

We met up later and headed out to a restaurant called Supper on 2nd street between A & B for a really tasty birthday dinner for Becky then off to R bar on Bowery for birthday partying. Went home pretty early since I knew I had plans early Sunday morning.

Sunday- Laid in bed for a good hour trying to get out of getting up at 9 30 am and meeting Christine to go running. Finally told myself to stop being lazy and get up to meet he. So in the rain we went running, we’ve been doing 2.5 miles so far since we are both just starting out but I think when we go again today we will try to push that a little further since I feel like we are getting more comfortable and should push further. Christine says she is training for the marathon, I said I will say that to myself for motivation but will probably not being doing those 26 miles come November. I have however agreed to do the Freihofer's Run for Women with Becky in June (its only about 3 miles) and have given a tentative yes to Cate to do the half marathon in October (we will just see if I can handle 16 miles in one stint by then). I don’t mid running, I actually really like doing it outside, so hopefully I will stick with it. I have never been the best with the workouts but I would always like to try to find my niche and enjoy it. Like jump roping at my gym, I liked that just never found the time to be home for it when the classes started. Other than that had a quiet Sunday, I got home and Eric got up. We made French toast and veggie sausages for breakfast and then went into the city to Best Buy because Eric is looking at a new computer (I keep trying to get him to get a new I-MAC but he wont convert from a PC), and looked at some cameras (I think he’s jealous of my new one and wants one for himself). Came home and made some dinner and tried watching Tallendega Nights but I fell asleep with 20 minutes to the end. Went to be bed at 10 pm.

Today is spring-cleaning for the apt. It will be nice to get some thing organized and put away.
