A Broken Bodum

I am making it through my month without Jason quite well. I haven't really missed him until about now. Hoping the next two weeks go fast, but not too fast because I have to do all the packing before we move into our new apartment.

This morning was eventful. As I was taking a container with coffee out of the cupboard, my stainless steel travel mug decided to hitch a ride with it and the mug came crashing down on my Bodum tea pot that I got for my birthday. I'm a little sad about the fate of my poor tea pot. I think the coffee feels that I have been neglecting it because I have been drinking tea almost everyday. So, obviously, it saw it's time to strike back at the tea pot and killed the little tea pot, hoping that that would switch my alliances back to coffee. I'll include a picture of the final fate of the tea pot (warning: graphic image).

Last weekend, my friend Tara came for a visit. We had a rainy, lazy Saturday together on Long Island and then we went to New York on Sunday and got some sun and excitement.

We walked over the Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan. Some nice New Yorker (yes, that's right, a NICE New Yorker- they do exist) helped us out on the bridge. She directed us towards a pizza place so we could experience Brooklyn-style pizza in Brooklyn and then told us where to get the best ice cream.

Look at that skyline! (oh and there is a bride in the background)

The rest of the day involved more food, as we went to Alice's Tea Cup to get some scones to-go and then we some how got in the middle of the Puerto Rico Pride Parade. It was very loud and crazy.

I also got to see Shaun and Marla while I was in New York and was introduced to the newest member of their family- Dixon. He is a very cute little dog and certainly gets a lot of attention on his walks.

Well, last week, I gave into the pressure and went onto Facebook. It's been fun and time-consuming, but I hope it doesn't take me away from blogging.
