It was a pretty relaxing and quiet weekend...

to do in NYC

time out ny has the most amazing list of things to do this summer in nyc. you can check out that list here.

but while checking that out, i found this AWESOME art exhibit that i NEED to go to this summer.

doesn't this look amazing?!?

D's catch up

here i am, catching up since it's been a few weeks. 

to recap:

the boo + me + his bff + his bff's gf = nyc santacon. i was dressed as an elf!

potluck dinner parties with coloring and a game named "celebrity" = way too much fun. and way too much food.

 new years 2011. (my hair was looking GOOD that night).

and just for fun, here's a pic of a helmet i made for myself:

because i wanted to. and because finding a crocheted pattern for an aviator hat is kinda hard.

D's boots

I'm a fan of december.

I'm sure you're wondering why:

 I can't lie or hide my feelings about the holidays. I really love them. It's something about the crisp, cool weather and the decorations and christmas lights that just make me happy! I feel like january hits and suddenly we're smack into winter w/ no lights or cheer or anything. I kinda wish the holidays lasted
longer in the wintertime.

What am I not a fan of? 

This windy and rainy nyc weather we have today. It's one of those days I wish I was home and in my bed.

Luckily I have some new winter rain boots that are making my day. They're insulated, comfy, and rain proof. And they only cost me $13 at a consignment store. *happy dance*

nyc marathon

if you follow me on twitter, you know that on sunday i spent part of my day out in the cold streets of nyc rooting on the marathoners. 

i was attempting to track my amazing friend, udee, on his run when i realized he was at mile 18...so we checked the map and figured out that if we ran from 93rd st on the west side to 96th street on the east side, we'd be able to catch him before he ran his final miles in the park.

actual map of the run. 26+ miles!

while waiting for udee, i snapped this pic of 5th ave (around mile 23):

confession: there's something about events like marathons/olympics/world series that make me kinda teary eyed. i think it's the idea that people train their whole lives (or for a year) for this one event and it means so much to them...idk...i'm weird.

anyway, after waiting for 10 minutes, the boo and i saw udee go by so i gave him a HUGE hug. we then waited an hour and a half to see the boo's friend...which was awesome because we saw tons of people go by...but when he finally came around 95th street, we walked with him for a few blocks into the park...he was in a lot of pain but i'm damn impressed he did it.

going to check out the runners might become by new yearly thing to do...

...but i might need to do another half marathon this year....
