Running, Lazy Week, and Other Thoughts

It's finally summer here and I have the WHOLE week off. Obviously this means I've been holed up at home, watching Arrested Development outside every chance I get. It also means I've been neglecting this blog, whoops. I suppose not too many people read it, and those that do probably already know what I'm up to! Below is a re-cap, in case you're curious (and in photo order)...

PS. I've been having trouble uploading and editing photos lately, there's a cache of great ones from the last 2 months stuck on my camera. I can't figure out what the issue is, but for now you're stuck with these iPhone shots.

1. It has rained a whole lot in May. Also, they're building a high rise in front of the view of Manhattan on the helix to the Lincoln Tunnel. It's going to really cramp my traffic style. However, it was fun to snap some photos while stuck in said morning traffic.

2. Zack and I ran the Brooklyn Half Marathon 2 weeks ago! It was a great race AND I beat my last half marathon time.

3. The Brooklyn Half ends on the boardwalk in Coney Island. It's pretty epic.

4. It rains a lot these days (did I mention that?). And I thought this overgrown and old fashioned gas station was cute.

5. This is part of my series Life in Traffic. I spend so many hours stuck in it every day, I should probably turn it into a series right? Something tells me I'm the only one that finds this thought interesting.

6. Lunch pre-Great Gatsby with my mom! At our favorite upstate restaurant, Terrapin.

7. and 8. are from my Boring Landscape series. I told you it rained a lot  in May, right? . . . (if you're curious, these are  from the NYS Thruway somewhere between Kingston and New Paltz)

9. We made a table! When I say "we made" one can always assume I meant "he made, I watched/made lunch." However, I did sand this fine table. And critique the progress.

10. Sunday brunch. Beverages included: iced espresso, lime-mint water, chai with steamed milk.

11. DIY "upcycled" window box (with more herbs to come...when they sprout). Zack built it, I picked out the found wood, and designed it. It's a hard life I lead . . .

12. Life's a bowl of cherries. With some iced coffee. On our FABULOUS new coffee table.

I'm hoping to fix my little photo/camera problem soon and get some better quality photos back on here. For now though, I'm going to make some lunch and go read in the park while it's sunny and gorgeous. . . Like I said, life is hard.
