Catch Up

Pin It now! Hi there, remember me?  I'm not going to mention that I haven't written for over a month.  Ok, there I said it but let's move on.  I've been busy with work, cooking, weekends, birthdays.... here's a 10 second photo montage of what's been happening here in BK.

Our non-existent winter and the fabulous transition into an already very warm spring.

Trying to get through Hunger Games before the movie comes out.

Getting back into volleyball and anxiously awaiting the start of dodgeball.

Running outside again (signed up for this 5K).

Hurricane Irene - Watch with Us!

Pin It now! Although we're in mandatory evacuation Zone A, we're staying put (along with a lot of other neighbors).  We've got water, food, and a go-bag.  We've filled our bathtub with water. We have flashlights and batteries.  We're set!  Don't get me wrong though, I think this storm is going to be bad and we're not taking it lightly.  Be safe everyone!

A neighbor set up a webcam to stream the hurricane live.  In case you want to watch along...

Heatwave in Brooklyn

Pin It now! It isn't a heatwave in Brooklyn without open fire hydrants.  That's right, the suburbs have their sprinklers and the city has their fire hydrants.  While we waited outside for dinner one of the nights of the heatwave a couple of weeks ago, a dad opened a fire hydrant by us and the kids were having a ball.  It should have been a sign  that the place we were waiting to get in didn't have enough air conditioning when the waitress and bartender ran out of the restaurant, splashed around in the hydrant water and ran back inside.  Who knows what kind of fire hydrant germs they left on our food and drinks! 

Have a great weekend!

Rain Rain Go Away

Pin It now!

Does anyone remember what the sun looks like?  Or a warm spring day?  It's day four of the rainy weather and it's expected to continue to rain until the weekend.  Boo for the rain!  This weather puts such a damper on my mood.  I've been grumpy and sleepy all day.  All I want is to take a nap or watch a movie in my pj's.  Even though it doesn't feel like it, it's spring and in couple of weeks, the official start of summer, a time to be productive and outdoors! 

I have a few projects coming up: a wedding I'm planing at the Bronx Zoo, possibly a baking event in my building and finishing up the (first round of) home decorating of our apartment.  So this weather betters start cooperating and boost my motivation and get my lazy butt into gear.
