Good Monday

Yesterday Ari and I went to Brooklyn Bridge Park to enjoy the sunshine and visit the carousel that was relocated there from Youngstown, Ohio (Ari's hometown) originally. 

This was my third attempt at riding the carousel. Third time's the charm!



Just realized you can't see our ponies in this picture. :(



After we rode the carousel, we got a "Fudge-ettaboutit" chocolate concrete at Shake Shack and then Ari had to leave for work. I stayed in the park and lay down on the grass to read my book, with this pretty great view.

5k in Prospect Park yesterday

Ran it with my coworkers, Megan, Natalie, and Michele.

Awkward action shot as we started the race. I love Megan's face here! 

Aaand action shot as we finished the race! (Natalie is behind us in this shot.)

271st, baby! Out of about 350! (We DID jog the whole time--just slowly.) Yay!

Well, that was awkward.

Today, Ari and I had a really nice date night - we saw an early showing of Inside Out (we both really liked it; I might put it in my top two Pixar films of all time, with Finding Nemo), and then went to get Asian takeout to eat in Union Square before it got dark.

Then, right across from the bench where we were eating our dinner, a drunk frat boy started peeing. Ari yelled at him and his friend who was standing nearby, something like "Dude, there's a bathroom over there!" But they pretty much ignored us and walked away. Gross. We kept eating. Then, less than five minutes later they came BACK and the other guy started peeing. Again, right across from us, where we were trying to eat dinner. With other people around, trying to enjoy the evening. We yelled at them to stop it, and they ignored us again, so I got up and threw the remains of my food at the guy who was peeing. I can't really believe that I did it, and I admit it definitely wasn't the most mature thing to do. They ended up calling me a "dick" and then called Ari and me "fags," which was pretty hilarious. Thankfully, they did not try to start any kind of fight. And maybe they'll think twice about peeing in front of people trying to eat their dinner in a public park?

Yayyyyyy I'm one step closer to being a real New Yorker. But to be honest, despite that kerfuffle, Ari and I had a really nice evening!
