thank you, 8 lbs 6 oz sweet, sweet baby jesus. it's spring time!!!

i know the weather affects my mood but i didn't realize just how much until this past week. the weather has been close to perfect and i've been able to get out a lot more than usual since it's still light out when i get home from work.

yet another first to add to the list: climbing. i went to brooklyn boulders w/ d.w. and had a fabulous albeit painful time. i have the blister on my hand to prove it. i went up the top rope wall twice. 

and the boulder wall twice. 

i needed a beer and some food after so we went to pacific standard for some good beer and ordered some sushi from jpan for some good eats.


i walk around madison square park a lot and there's been a new addition to a corner along w/ a few buildings. there's these new statues everywhere of a naked man. it's actually sculptures of antony gormley and they're apparently true to form. you can read a little bit more about it. i was only able to get a good picture of the back and but in the front, he's definitely uncircumcised. 

i've wanted to hit the brooklyn flea market for a while now since i read about it and i finally got my chance recently. this is definitely not the flea market i'm used to. there was no tejano music. no fruit or vegetable tables and definitely no dogs for sale. this is the brooklyn flea.

it was super fun and i would definitely go again since i got some jewelry that i've already received compliments on. gotta love that!

there's also a new brooklyn bridge park that everyone is making a big deal about so i made my way then walked across the brooklyn bridge to manhattan. 

from there, i made my way to union square for the new york pillow fight day.

and since i was in union square, of course i had to hit the farmers market. i got some yummy cookies.

so far, spring time in nyc is pretty awesome.

xoxo,
