all fun and games until this happens...

watch out.

these little buggers are planted all around the city. 

battle of the cameras.

our wide array of props

 jordan took this contest very seriously

 the panel reviewing the photos...

and the winning shot...CANON! {let's not act too surprised people}

good game jordan, good game

after meeting someone with a nikon, 

i'm always curious as to why they chose that brand 

over canon and vice versa.

this time, jordan and i let the cameras do the talking.

the nikon vs. canon shoot off

star sighting.

  how timely that hurley from lost sat next to me at dinner

during his big finale weekend.

{hornberger from 30 rock was also in attendance}

i stopped following the show after the 2nd season, so for all you 

lost freaks out there (ahem, harding's...), i apologize this star sighting was wasted on me.

natalie happy with her new purse and food!

what a lovely morning!

i've been in the city a whole year and had never ventured
across the bridge to visit the highly talked about brooklyn flea. 

so this morning, natalie and i hopped on the train to see what the buzz was about.

my personal analysis?

it was amazing!!!

there were so many good {and cheap} finds!

i simply didn't have enough pockets to bring everything home in.

next time i'm bringing a truck. a big one.

in an effort to fit in my swimsuit...

after a busy work day, hubs and I took a little walk

to Crisp, next to the beautiful bryant park.

it's no juicy hamburger, but a falafel pita is still quite delicious!

yum. yum. yum.

kickin the norm.

the humdrum of the work week typically looks a lot like the following:

wake-up.

snooze. snooze. snooze.

wake-up for good.

rush to work.

...work...

rush home.

modern family + take-out

lights out.

however, as of late, they've been looking a whole lot more like the following: 

{crazy indian restaurant on 1st and 4th}

{vive la crepe with the mason's, clifford's, egan's, and kylie}

{lombardis}

It's always great to have friends come to visit and exciting to see 

how much we can fit into one week! 

caught in the act.

Casey and I were riding on the subway today and was amazed to see how indiscrete this guy was at
looking at Casey's phone. The dude was practically breathing down her neck! After I secretly snapped
this picture, I showed it to Casey with the guy still standing there. It was no surprise that he peaked at
what I was showing her, and quickly realized that he'd been caught in the act!

After we all three awkwardly exchanged glances, he quickly exited our car.

chocolate lovers' fantasy.

{dark chocolate. the only way to go}

remember this post?
oh yeah, it's heaven.

feliz cumpleanos hermano.

birthday boy with his ladies

helped throw a surprise bday party for my big bro to

welcome him into his ripe 'ole age of 25.

we had hats, and signs, and balloons, and cupcakes, and LOTS of candles.

happy birthday ry ry, you old man you. 

xoxo

{and yes ladies, he is available.}

street fair.

as we were strolling around this afternoon, 

we came upon this quaint street fair tucked deep within the west village.

you name it, they had it:

vintage coach purses

costume jewelry

skinny ties from the 70s

ferragamo shoes

hat boxes

classic hermes scarves

...and many other gadgets and gizmos

 we also happened to walk away with a $10 Brooks Brother's shirt. 

score!

fore!!!!

after a long flight to az, a golf tournament shortly awaited our arrival.

every year, chuck and his team have taken first, so i was was quick to inform my father-in-law 
not to keep his expectations too high for Ward Tourney '10.

especially considering that:

a) i've played golf a mere 5 times, none of which being a full 18 holes

b) we lost our best putter to a tramp incident an hour before game time

excited to say, we had fun and by the end of the 18 holes, i could finally hit the ball.

my swing is so bad I look like a caveman killing his lunch. ~lee trevino

we're back from az!

the sun. the warmth. the lake. 

FAMILY!

oh it was wonderful.

and it wouldn't be complete without a trip to the lake.
