What a Crappy Day

WARNING: If you don't want to hear about crap do not read.

Today was filled with CRAP literally.  (On a side note I do feel kind of bad because no matter what I love Foster.)  So after a long day of babysitting all I wanted to do was go home and take a nap, but a nap was not in my near future.  When I opened the door I was welcomed by an unpleasant smell and the entire floor was covered in poo (it was in a liquid state.)  Poor Foster got sick while we were at work.   So since I could not breath I decided to take Foster to the park and come up with a plan...a.k.a. FIND BRIAN.

Brian has just started the Nuro Surgery rotation, which he does not particularly like.  Since they round on their patients 2x a day and the second one is at 5:00 p.m. he is hard to get in touch with at this time.  Funny because 5:00 p.m. was exactly the same time I had arrived to find my surprise.  I decided there was no way I could clean up all that poo.  Next I texted Brian 10x to get all of the details of my crises out and then I decided to stay at the park with Foster until he could go home and clean the apt and get the smell out.  To make things better a bird pooped on my skirt while I was at the park.  I was like are you kidding me? seriously?

 

Finally Brian got home and after two and a half hours of sitting in the park I was starving.  While Brian cleaned the floors (he used a bed sheet that he took from the hospital and cut it into rags) I went and had a nice relaxing diner to myself and came home to a nicely cleaned apt.  Thank you Brian for being the most wonderful pooper scooper and getting out of brain surgery to come clean up crap.

P.S. I must say I think we do have the craziest dog stories when it comes to poo. Can you ever say you had a dog poop in your bed or in the back seat of your car with in a couple months of each other.  That's OK we still love and miss Shiner Burke too.

Pinkberry Again & Bread

I was having cravings for Pinkberry all week after we went last weekend.  Finally on Saturday we went back.  This time we got the mediums with 3 toppings and it was so delicious.  We also went to this little restaurant downtown for lunch called Bread.  Bread has the best tomato soup I have ever had.  It is even better than the Grape Vine Pantry in Middletown ,Toast on Market, or Ermines. So if you like tomato soup then when you come and visit we will take you there and you can see just how good it is.

Barbeque in Westchester

This weekend we attended a barbeque in Westchester, NY.  It was given by Dr. Roye who is the chairman of the pediatrics ortho program.  When you say backyard barbeque at home we think of fresh fruit, chips & salsa, hamburgers & hot dogs, and desert.  But at this "cookout" we had a 3 course catered meal with ribs, carved steak, shrimp, scollops, mini key lime pie tarts, etc.  Let's just say the food was awesome.  But before the food the residents and attendings had their annual soccer match.  Hmm, and I thought Brian wanted to go to Columbia because it was an amazing program but now the real reason is revealed.  Brian would find a program that has an annual soccer match.  Of course his team won with one goal by Brian despite the fact that Brian also accidentally scored two goals for the other team.  We had a great time and met some really nice people.  Maybe next year the rain will hold off and we can go swimming as well.  Here are a few pictures from the game and barbeque.  Brian is in the blue shirt and black shorts.

Pinkberry, Yum O!

At the request of Nikki Durst we went see if Pinkberry lived up to all the hype. The verdict is in: Pinkberry is awesome.  We were obviously Pinkberry virgins because we stood at the wrong end of the line for about 5 minutes and were wondering why everyone else was getting their delicious looking treats and not us.  We quickly learned that you have to pay first.  Brian enjoyed the original flavor with blueberries and I had original with blackberries.  The 20 minute walk across Central Park in the 95 degree heat was definitely worth it.  It was kind of pricey and we didn't realize they had a value combo.  If you order the medium size with 3 toppings it's the best deal.  Next time, which will be very shortly, we will be expert Pinkberry connoisseurs. Thanks Nikki it was the best thing I ate all day and only had about 100 calories which we burned off walking there.

Catching Rays in Central Park

WOW!!  I can't believe I have already been here for a week.  Time goes by so fast, but I am so happy to be living with Brian and Foster again.  We are adjusting well to the challenges of moving to New York, like the size of our new home.  It is 600 sq.ft. of coziness:)  I must say I do like being able to order pizza and have it delivered in 20 minutes at 2:00 a.m. after coming home from the bar like we did last night.  I am so glad Brian has the next 4 weekends off.  There are always so many things to do on the weekends.  Today we went to a street fair and Brian got a nice leather wallet for only $9.00, we talked them down from $10.00, what a deal right.  Then we walked to a few shops in Rockefeller Plaza and went to lunch at a cafe by our apt.  In the afternoon we took a blanket, People magazine, Clinical Sports Medicine text book, and Foster to Central Park and relaxed under a tree.  Here are a few pictures from our afternoon in the park. We miss everyone in Louisville and we send our love, XOXO.
