Pic of the Day

Nate and I spontaneously, and inexplicably, fall in love with the Astor Place subway station. Dunno, don't ask.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATE!!!

It's Kate's Birthday Again!

Happy birthday, Kate!

Welcome to 27.

It's a very prestigious club, you know.

Kate the Great

Right, I'm talking about Kate Perry, who took me out for dinner and drinks early in my birthday week (on election day, actually) to celebrate me turning 27 (again, oy ve). She surprised me with cake, friends and presents! Here, Heather and Kate smile for the camera.

My yummy vanilla-raspberry-chocolate cake from the Vanilla Bean!

Jeb eats birthday cake. I like this picture because you can see Kate and Heather in the mirror. (I believe Heather's texting Joe here.)

It was a great time. The only thing that was missing (besides Joe, obviously) was. . .

Kristie.

It's My Birthday!

Today I'm 27. One year closer to 30. Oy ve.

Nate Turns 31 Today!

Sorry to out your age, darling, but you seriously don't look a day over 25. ;-)

Nate will spend his birthday evening entertaining folks as always--everyone go to Justin's to wish him a happy one!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NATE!

P.S. This pic is from Friday night--Nate and I had a fabulous dinner-slash-pow-wow, and then we met up with Robin at Elda's (of all places).

Temptation

There's one of those huge cookie-cake things in the editorial office in celebration of our new staff writer's birthday. I've been pretty good about eating healthily and avoiding bad things lately. Like huge cookie-cake things. And now one is in the office, calling my name. For the record, it's nearly impossible for me to avoid this giant cookie. I love sweets--my sweet tooth is about the size of the Atlantic. And of course, cookies are my favorite. So far, so good--I haven't given in. I just wanted to share my diet angst.
