Hello hello everybody! me and mitch had a delightful morning. we grabbed coffee at gorilla coffee {it's the best coffee in our neighborhood and the best coffee i've had in NY period} and we had a nice little walk in the park per someone's 50th birthday request.
so we toasted with a maple latte for me {they are the greatest! with real vermont maple syrup} and a drip coffee for mitch {there drip coffee is amazing too, it's what we brew at home now. we even have a bean punch card- score!}
welcome to prospect park! it's a beautiful day! check out my killer lens flare!
oooh and my boots!
walking in a very non winter wonderland
mitch says this is john travolta... but he's not doing it again...
this is my handsome husband
GO COUGS! we have cougars in park slope
so we walked through the park and came out of the entrance on 4th and walked to barnes and noble... which is where he is now, working. he's a good little worker and just finished his internship yesterday. we're both very excited for what's coming next for him but don't know what it is yet. we're celebrating tonight with a good dinner and a great bottle of wine that i won at work. it's a kerner, i don't normally like white's as much as red, but this ones different. it's a big fatty white that lingers on your tongue for what seems like forever and has these delicious peach notes...mmm....delicious! plus we just joined the co-op so we'll have extra good food for not as much. and we joined the gym- life is so good!
Sunday we went to Red Hook for an adventure. we went in search of the pretty part that's rumored to be there... but couldn't find it. these girls from church offered to be our tour guides but we don't have their number {they live there} we walked in the
rain and didn't see a single other person. it's very industrial where we were - like bushwick but not as busy {we don't like bushwick} mitch took a step {just ONE step} in the wrong direction and these loudspeakers went off all around us:
"step away! you are trespassing. this is private property"
that's when we decided to stop exploring and just go to ikea.
ikea's so great right? i don't know why we still go there. everytime we go we get in a fight. we stress eachother out or our expectations don't match... we both get upset. then we go get meatballs and everything is okay and we always leave on the same page and happy and stronger i guess. that's pretty cool- ikea brings people together {after they rip them apart} i've talked to a couple people and they fight with their significant others in ikea too. that should be the next poll {i'll see what i can do}
us waiting for the subway at 9th and Smith mitch is carrying the duvet covers we purchased i'm carrying the chocolate {he's stronger then i am}
this is the view from the station. beautiful. on a clear day you can see manhattan. if you look closely you can see the city all misty and ghostlike it's there. it just makes me smile
*side note* in several photos mitch is photographed holding two coffees. to those who are concerned, mitch doesn't order 2 coffees, he doesn't have a problem or condition. he is double fisting because he's a gentleman and a sweetheart and a great sport and i like to hold my camera with two hands
thank you
