Thursday I slept in pretty late to make up for being out late at Hannah's birthday. Got up and washed dishes and took out a ton of trash and recycling that had been sitting around way too long. Decided to go enjoy the weather, so I went to Prospect Park. Ate the lunch I packed myself, then took a really long walk which took me through a part of the park I'd never seen before, so that was neat. Went almost all the way around the entire park, which is far. Stopped at the grocery store, then came home and relaxed. Made some chicken curry for dinner, which Matt and I ate while watching the two hour season finale of LOST. I probably don't have to say it again, but that show is soooooooo good.
On another note, there are a few more pictures up on my photo site. Check 'em out, link at left.

Birthday Banana (Hannah)
Wednesday I worked in the morning, which was the most normal work shift I've had in a while. Ate lunch in the park with Jess, Sage, and Derek, then Jess went to class and the rest of us met up 
with Hannah, who was turning 25. Happy birthday Hannah! We got a drink at a place across the street from work, then went to Sushiya, one of Hannah's favorite restaurants, for birthday dinner. There were 10 of us all together, and the food was good. I'm growing to like sushi. We said goodbye to a couple people and went downtown to Sing Sing, Hannah and Derek's favorite karaoke bar. We sang the night away, and we were eventually joined by the Bouchoners who worked the evening shift. A lot of people came, which was really fun. I sang a few numbers, I must admit, and didn't embarrass myself too much, I think.

The humidity begins
Tuesday by the time I woke up it was hot and humid, definitely New York summer. Hung around home a bit, then went into the city to meet my friend Ben for lunch. He was in CAP with me, and now he's playing Boq in "Wicked" on Broadway. Very cool. We caught up for a while, then I went to yoga. I didn't care for this particular teacher, but that's sort of how it goes. Went home, got groceries, made casserole, and Matt and I watched more SNL dvds.
Memorial Day
Monday I worked in the morning, and it was also my last day of supervisor training. We had four servers because we expected it to be really busy, but it was only moderately busy so it was a fairly calm shift. I counted everyone out, then went home and vegged. Met up with Matt and we walked through Park Slope until we found a place with outdoor seating and we ate dinner there. Continued our walk to the movie theater and saw "Iron Man," which was really cool. I highly recommend it, Robert Downey Jr. is amazing and the technology stuff is cool too.

Perfect weekend, part. 2
Sunday Matt and I made blueberry muffins, then headed to Prospect Park for some more outside time. Got lunch at the Boathouse and read our books in the sunshine. Walked across the park and into Park Slope, then went to YogoMonster, which as far as we can tell is a total rip off of Pinkberry. Oh well, it's closer to home and cheaper and delicious, so who cares. Got groceries, then went to Matt's and made pasta salad to eat with Austin and Anja. Chilled out the rest of the night.
A perfect weekend
Saturday Matt and I went to Tom's for brunch. Oh, also, it was beautiful outside. After brunch, Matt went to his piano lesson and I went to the Greenmarket at Grand Army 
Plaza and totally blissed out. There were fabulous looking things everywhere! I managed to get away only having bought two peppers, a bundle of asparagus, and some fresh cheese, and it made me so excited to start my CSA this summer. I recently decided to get an egg share too, so I'll be getting veggies, fruit, and eggs starting in just a few weeks. Came home and did some emailing, then Matt and I set out to try and get a bike for me. We planned to take the train to DUMBO, which is the part of Brooklyn under the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. Only, we got a stop away and it turned out the train wasn't going there, so we got out and walked. Took a while, but we found the bike place, only it turned out they didn't really have what I wanted. Went t
o a design store around the corner and got a birthday present for Hannah, then we walked over to Fulton Landing by the Brooklyn Bridge. It's the 125th birthday of the Brooklyn Bridge, and they have this crazy "telectroscope" set up that supposedly lets you look through a long-lost tunnel between Brooklyn and London (it's actually a live feed through the internet). Lots of people there to wave to the Brits. We got pretzels, walked on the Brooklyn Heights promenade, and took the train back to my house. Vegged for a bit, then went to Ben and Atsuko's for the First Official Summer BBQ. A ton of people were there, and there was SO much food. I took on the job of Vegetable Griller and made some excellent veggies, if I do say so myself. A fun, filling day.

TGIF
Friday I slept in, went for a run, then left for work early so I could go up to Lincoln Center and pick up a CD from the library. Walked to work from there, which was nice since we're finally getting some good weather. Trained with Oliver, which was fine, I'm getting a handle on things now. Finally finished around 10:45pm and was on my weekend, after 10 days of work in a row. YES! Went to Matt's and we took a walk around Park Slope and ate some ice cream.
