Sunrise

Hi! Look at that... 2posts 1week! ;)

This morning, I was up super early again (5:45) to move my car due to water main construction. ICK. They declare: No Parking 6a-6p. Because of this, lots of people don't even bother parking here overnight, leaving lots of parking for people who are willing to wake up BEFORE DAWN. (Isn't that a Twilight book?) 

Last night I did tons o' laundry and was loving all the parking on my block. After I lugged both gigantic bags into my apartment, I didn't feel like moving my car to where I'd have to walk back about 6 blocks in a sort of darkish, scary area. So I decided I'd move the car in the morning since it would force my butt to the gym.

It worked! Barely. Yay! I was rewarded with a pretty sunrise on my way home.

pretty white van. sunrise over the cemetery...maybe i shouldn't post this one

Afterwards, I made myself some eggs and attempted to get some good shots of Lucy. She is always so quick to run away around and will walk towards the camera if you're standing there. I think I got a *few* good ones.

Squee!

Last week, Emily & I finally crossed 16 Handles off our summer to do list. yea.. summer to-do.

ZOMG it was sooo good!

For those who are unaware, it is a frozen yogurt joint that has 16 different flavors on hand at all times. They let you taste some before making your final decision.

I think between me & Emily, we tried all of them haha!! I ultimately went with NY Cheese cake  & Birthday cake (which I am not normally a fan of, but omgosh... so good!) And the toppings!! This place puts Red Mango to shame!

I mean, there are little jelly ring cups & rainbow cookies on here! mmmm. I can't wait to go back!

Holy Peach!

It is HOT out there New York!! Ick!

Last night's dinner was a hodge podge of leftovers. Pete had those yummy meatballs from earlier this week, and I enjoyed a black bean veggie burger on an Arnold's sandwich thin (LOVE these!) along with a potato/bean thing Pete made.

The potato salad thing had red potatoes, cannellini beans, cherry tomatoes, red onions, zucchini & corn and was dressed in some sort of honey mustard sauce. It was yummy!! I can't get my head around this being a meal alone though, as Pete intended it to be. I mean, it does have a protein & veggies but there's something about it! I enjoyed it very much as a side dish.

Peach also ate dinner at this time and then took a little bath in the kitchen.

 After dinner I talked Pete into going on a froyo run! (It wasn't hard.)

I enjoyed black cherry with coconut (SO GOOD!) with sprinkles, strawberries & yogurt chips and Pete had just coconut with raspberries.

It was super refreshing for a hot summer night! Pete wondered aloud if any blog readers would mistake his hands for mine. ... um, for the record, I do not have giant man hands.

We brought home our yogurt and made an attempt at watching a movie. We've been trying to watch Harry Potter 7 Part 1 for weeks! We never got around to seeing it in the theater. We tried ordering if from our shitty cable on Monday but the movie didn't play.  Then I was FINALLY able to rent it from Redbox on Tuesday, but we haven't had time to watch it still! Last night we watched about 30 minutes of it until I was too tired to keep my eyes open. Sheesh! We won't have time to watch it until Saturday lol! I read all the books in college and have seen every movie in the theater so far. This lack of movie 7 is making me feel like a bad HP fan!

Lastly, I caught Ms. Peach relaxing in her morning spot in the kitchen today. I love this divine looking pic!

Last night after dinner me & Pete took a walk through an area of town where we'd love to buy a home. It was fun walking around, pointing out what we liked and didn't like about different houses. We definitely want a driveway, backyard and a porch with enough room for 2 chairs (possibly rocking chairs). I know nothing about real estate so I can't even describe what we do and don't like, but at least I can say we tend to like the same things!
This is my pathetic attempt to capture a photo of some lightening bugs! (Um, this is impossible).

"what am i looking at?'

oh maybe its not?

I still have desires to wash out a mayo jar, poke holes in the lid, and capture as many lighting bugs as I can! After our walk Pete drove straight to Red Mango!  MmMmM

I got vanilla &  black cherry (zomg!) with strawberries, yogurt chips & cocoa pebble flakes. I could've done with out the flakes but it was overall super yummy. 

This morning i woke with good intentions to hit the gym, but some stuff prevented me from getting there with enough time so I wound up driving Pete to the train and then stopping by the park.

It was so pretty and peaceful there! I was only able to briskly walk/jog for about 20 minutes, but I was happy with that. I had Ms. Bethenny Frankel in my head going "Do what you can, when you can." I was glad I was able to get fresh air & enjoy such a beautiful morning!

When I got home I had some cereal with fresh blueberries. I also enjoyed a banana on the side. (That's what she said.) (Get used to this phrase ;))

Questions -
Do you own a home or co-op? How long did it take you to find it?

What's your favorite breakfast?
