I'm sick of it!

Jed and I have had our FIRST Saturday with NOTHING to do in so long that I demanded that we leave the apartment. (That made it sound like I've been mad at Jed for keeping us cooped up in the apartment...I've actually been mad at Mother Nature for not allowing us to leave due to extreme weather conditions...ie. it's freezing cold)

We had a lazy Saturday morning (Jed instructed me to start enjoying the "lounging luxury") then we looked outside saw blue skies and birds singing, so we quickly grabbed the camera and were out the door.

Well, the blue skies and birds singing were a little (ok, a lot) deceiving. It was SOOOO cold! We didn't wear our usual gear (hat, gloves, scarves, long underwear, uggs, etc.) We are both so ready for nice weather that we thought it would be a good idea to just wear our jackets. We were kicking ourselves about 5 steps out the door, but thinking of walking back up the 4 flights of stairs too get the said gear was a little too daunting, so we forged ahead.

We did a little shopping (gots to look good for my new job!!!), hunted (then found) an adorable shirt (3 H&M's later), wandered around SoHo, then tried a new place to eat called S'Mac...a mac and cheese ONLY establishment. My husband was in heaven!

Let's talk about S'Mac. I like mac and cheese. Although it doesn't seem like it, I usually eat pretty light meals. Needless to say the Cajun mac and cheese I got (loaded with 3 different cheeses, sausage, veggies, seasonings) was good but I felt as if I had eaten a whole cow. I was SOOO full. The train ride home found me WILLING myself not to throw up. However, this being said, it was a really fun place to eat. Jed got a fire infused buffalo chicken mac and cheese. I thought I would have to douse him with my water to settle the flames, but he took it like a man.

We were so glad to come home to our warm apartment. And, I can feel Spring ready to pounce on us any minute, which means more fun Saturday exploring.

Loves Me. Loves Me Not. LOVES ME!!!


It seems a lot of people don't like Valentines Day. I like it. I like the decorating (although, I didn't get mine out this year) and I like the idea that there is an EXTRA special day to show someone you love them...just so happens my Valentines shows me 365 days a year. Maybe that's why I like this holiday so much!
This year Jed has been swamped at work, so I decided that I would plan V-Day. I found some great tickets to a show that I KNEW Jedders would love. We enjoyed a dinner at our favorite diner (I know that doesn't sound too romantic, but we do love it there and it's always good food) and headed to New Town Hall and watched Martin Sexton wail on his guitar. It was an AMAZING performance. I only know the music b/c of Jed and it was really a great live show. We were surrounded by the WEIRDEST lovebirds, but it was fun to people watch (one of our favorite pastimes)
We hope you all had a LOVELY day and had a great time with someone special.
XOXO
