I had quite the weekend.
It began with the much-anticipated opening of Nordstrom's Rack in Union Sq.
Where I treated myself to some pre-birthday dresses.
On my birthday Nate took me to Alice's Tea Cup on the Upper West Side.
I love tea time, and always have.
The scones, the cream and preserves, the mini sandwiches and pretty napkins, being treated like a lady.
Well this place had it all. It was the quaintest little tea shop filled with mix-matched little tea cups, Alice and Wonderland themes, and the most mouth-watering blueberry scones I've had in my life.
I loved it.
I also love the boyfriend that took me there. Not many men enjoy the fine taste of Hawaiian-flavored herbal tea with blueberry scones and sandwiches in an elegantly decorated dining room. But mine did.
Then we went to Central Park.
It was sunny, beautiful, and filled with people.
We took a nap on the lawn and then we found...
A giant Newfie.
He was awesome. Nate wants one close to as badly as I want a cavalier.
Then we went to Pets on Lex, where they have begun to completely ignore me based purely off of the the sheer number of times I go in there to look at the cavaliers without any intention of buying one and supporting pet shops, puppy mills, and unhealthy dogs.
And speaking of pups, I am preparing for pumpkin! We got her a bed this weekend. And Ashley bought her two adorable dog bowls for my birthday! Nate and I managed to watch approximately 100 episodes of It's Me or the Dog, Underdog to Wonderdog, and The Puppybowl on AnimalPlanet.com Basically Victoria Stillwell is a dog training goddess and my new hero. She has taught me so much and is such a fierce woman.
That night we went out with a group of friends to my favorite mexican restaurant.
We at pounds upon pounds of guacamole, drank margaritas, and it was good.
Then ended the night with Balderdash and wine.
I have good friends.
It was a good birthday.
