Update
I can't believe that it's already noon and I just now had the first chance in my day to make any attempt at posting. I guess I'm a busy little elf in ortho-land.
This weekend was a rather interesting conglomeration of events. Friday night, Nolan and I went to see his favorite local band, Stargazer Lily at the Bitter End. I had once before seen them play at N & K's wedding (they were at the gig, too). I had a great time, despite my earlier confusion at eating dinner on the sidewalk with no coat in November in New York.
Saturday brought a big day of laziness, including a 3 hour nap in the afternoon when I should have been 1) writing, 2) cleaning my apartment, 3) reading or 4) doing something else productive. Considering I don't usually successfully take naps, I must have really needed the sleep. It was for the best, since I didn't want to fall asleep that night at the Circus! That's right, Nolan took me to see The Big Apple Circus. What a fun time we had. There were all the usual amazing acts, like the tight rope, trapeze, clowns, juggler, horses, camels and llamas (or as I called them, walking sweaters) and a fabulous dog act. I think I liked the dogs best of all. They were absolutely adorable.
Sunday was a day for shopping. Nolan and I hit the grand openings of West Elm in DUMBO (Brooklyn) and The Container Store in Chelsea. No purchases and no bloodshed from the massive crowds that were rubbing my nerves raw. If you aren't fully aware, I have an intense hatred for large groups of people that don't follow direction well, or at all.
Tonight is going to be a fabulous night. Today is the anniversary of Nolan and my first date. So, we are going to celebrate by eating at Gramercy Tavern. This is actually my treat to him. He has been talking about it for so long and he really helped me out with my financial trauma in October (see stolen purse saga). So, I thought as a thank you, a celebration of us, a celebration for my new job and a celebration of the fact that I can actually afford (well, not really afford, but you know what I mean) to eat in a place like that, why not do something special. I have been looking forward to tonight for the past month, when I made the reservation.
