January 21, 2012 - View from the Bar

Tom and I had our first Saturday night together in 2012, so for dinner we went to (where else?)... The Farm!

(Exciting news: The Farm on Adderley was recently named one of the Top 10 Best Sustainable Restaurants in the U.S. by The Huffington Post - read about it here!)

January 20, 2012 - Ugg Convention

I was riding the train on my way home from work and a group of high school girls all got on together. They were all... wearing... the... exact... same... uniform.

January 19, 2012 - Birthday Dessert!

Yee-haw, another birthday successfully celebrated!! Tom surprised me with dinner at Gramercy Tavern and all I can say is OMG. I'm not a good enough blogger to describe how fantastic everything was about the meal... it really was perfect. We did the seasonal tasting menu, and every course was wonderful, but my favorite might have been this special extra birthday dessert they brought me - a peanut butter semifreddo/chocolate macaroon masterpiece with MY NAME ON THE PLATE!

January 18, 2012 - Have A Sweet Day!

The walls in our office are covered with whiteboard paint and a visitor took the opportunity to leave a little drawing behind... AWWW!

January 17, 2012 - Beautiful Scrappy

At some point over the last week, I realized I start hearing/humming the song "Beautiful Dreamer" whenever I see Scrappy resting or sleeping. I'm hoping that living with us has made his dreams happy 'cuz he sure is a wonderful little guy!

January 16, 2012 - Welcome Home, Tom!

Tom had been away for about 10 days, so I made him chocolate chip cookies to welcome him home. That one on the far right started to break apart when I took it off the cookie sheet, but I ate it right away so he wouldn't see the mistake!!

January 15, 2012 - Soup's On!

I made barley soup with homemade chicken stock... yum!
