I ate so much!

Leave a comment

This weekend we had a Friendsgiving over at Jay’s Sister’s house.  We had a great time…and I ate way, way, way, too much…I ate so much I didn’t even take any pictures!

I did however make this wreath for Julie…I’ll do a DIY post at some point this week 🙂

In other news…

…my orchid is still blooming and has been for the past 7 months…I don’t know what I’m doing right this time!  Maybe after you kill so many plants the universe finally lets you get one right.

…Rondo continues to be the cutest puppy on the planet…seriously…

…and Jay and I continue to be total weirdos…we like it this way.

Hope everyone is off to a great start on this short holiday week!

Bedtime Routine…

1. Everything is my toy even your bed…yum yum yum

2. WHAT?  I’m just chewing a little…look at my face?  Are you really mad? I won’t even ruin it!

3. (Come in and find a big hole in the duvet) I’m tired from all that chewing…I mean not chewing…

He is seriously lucky he is so cute!

Brooklyn Family

This weekend my parents came to visit Saturday for a fun day in my neighborhood.  We had crazy delicious lunch at Brooklyn Bowl, walked around with the pup, went to the flea market park, and enjoyed being with each other.  It was a great day and I missed them so much when they left.  Below are some fun ones from the day…

Even with that busy day I managed to get the new letters I got at Anthropologie up in our bathroom.  So cute!

Saturday evening Jay got home from Boston!  I was so happy to have him back home, so was our man…

Sunday we had brunch with Tyler and his girlfriend Leah.  Rondo even got to come later.  Here we are sitting on the outside of the bar while they were inside!

Another perfect fall weekend!

This city is crazy. Crazy busy, crazy fast, crazy tiring…sometimes I forget to appreciate the things I have (especially when strangers are bumping into me on the subway).  Today I’m going to try and remember all the little (and silly) things I love and am surrounded by…

1. Heavy food is back!  Thank you cold weather for making every day seem appropriate for lemon sugar donuts and cheese.

2. My Mama.  She sent me home with a bunch of pumpkin decorations because she knows how much I love what she does with our house.  Jay’s Mom got us some things too!

3.  The fact that this is the view from Rondo’s daycare.  I mean, come on!

4.  I don’t think this one needs explanation (again, thanks Mama)…

5. My debate watching partner…

6.  This guy…

7. And most importantly, the fact that this turtleneck/t-shirt combo was documented (sorry Nick!)…

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend ahead!!

Spoiled

This is from last night…it’s embarrassing how much this little guy has taken over.  He does this on his own too.  He goes under the covers and then comes up (in the middle of Jay and I) and puts his head on the pillow.  So spoiled…so, so, spoiled.

Busy/Work

Hectic work week for sure.  By the time we got home from work all we wanted to do was zone out.  Luckily all our favorite shows have come back so we can do just that and be entertained!  I don’t know how anyone in the world could not love Pam Beesly…anyways…

Puppy daycare continues to be the greatest.  Especially when our weeks are so wild at work, it’s nice to come home to a calm puppy who wants love instead of a wild man who wants to play with every. single. toy. he. has.

Yesterday my friend and I went to go see the Showtime activation at Grand Central. You could be made up to look like you were Dexter’s victim, including getting your picture taken wrapped up in plastic wrap with cuts.  It was a fantastic display, really great marketing.  They also had a fan art contest…

Otherwise not too much has been going on here in this wild city.  I made orange chicken (Trader Joe’s…I worship you), and tried to use the sock bun to curl my hair overnight.

Busy work = boring nights!  Tonight we have an engagement party at Brooklyn Brewery which should be a lot of fun and distract us from this yucky weather! Then a weekend of relaxing together in {hopefully} some sunshine.  Rainy days make me wish life was always this…

Have a wonderful weekend!

This weekend we did a whole lot of nothing!  After all of the traveling and weekends apart we were both looking forward to a weekend of napping, movie watching, and cuddling the pup…which is exactly what we did!

Saturday Rondo and I went to a new park by the river…check it out…

You could walk right into the river if you wanted!  Naturally, Rondo gave this his best effort.

Jay and I went on a date to Sea that night and ordered enough for 6 people.  The food was incredible and we had a tasty lunch the next day with all those leftovers.

(my attempt at a braid across my hair for dinner)

Then, like I said, lots and lots of napping, movies, snuggling, and an annoying amount of pictures with the pup…

On Sunday Rondo got to play with his new best friend Frank (which means I got to play with Frank’s mama Chelsea! yay!) Here are the two little guys together:

So cute and afterwards soooo tired and a little sulky because his friend left…

Now it’s back to another work week at Rolling Stone… I miss the weekend!

This weekend…

For the first time in 4 weeks, Jay and I were both home for the weekend together.  It was fantastic.  We were able to take naps, watch movies, eat dinner with friends, and enjoy spending time alone together doing nothing.  Here is a bit about our weekend…

FRIDAY

 

Friday we had dinner with our friends Reggie and Emily at Dressler. Emily was planning a surprise party for Reggie on Saturday, so to throw off the scent we had a dinner full of unbelievable food and lies about plans.  I had the most amazing artichoke, steak, crabcake, veal cheek (sounds gross but it’s insanely delicious), and peach cake with cream.  Mmm.

SATURDAY

Saturday we went on a big walk with Rondo to the dog park and let him run out all of his energy so we could enjoy the day napping.  On the way back we went to a street fair in our neighborhood where Rondo met more puppies to play with and we got to relax in colorful chairs without any cars.  When we got home we all slept in bed…look at those cuties!

Later that night we had the surprise party which couldn’t have gone better.  He was completely shocked (pictures to come).

SUNDAY

Sunday was our nothing day.  Rondo and I went on a walk down to the pier and enjoyed the skyline and some pretty houses, Jay watched football with his favorite fan, we ate a ton of junk, and watched a couple movies (so lazy!).  My kind of day!

Dinner for me?

Last night after work, I took Rondo on a long walk up to McCarren Park to run around with the other dogs.  He loves it, the sniffing, chasing, running in circles…and I love it because when we come home he is beyond tired.  The best part about it is I came home and Jay was making dinner and got me Fall cider (go get it, it’s yummy).  

 

 

 

 

 

This morning I tried to get Rondo to give me a kiss in a picture…this is the result…

And then I was bored waiting for Jay to be ready to leave and this happened…


I have a lot of time in the morning since little man has us up at 6:30….clearly.
