as i was going into a bodega(a corner store....it's a new york thing) to buy nate a peanut
butter snickers, as a gift for valentines day(i know, a million days ago). guess time flies when you're having fun (or working all the time, or both!) someone hollered "hey blondie you lookin' like marlyn monroe! ....& i like your boots!"
it made me laugh, because, it was actually my first day wearing my new boots & also, i wasn't sure if she was complimenting me or threatening me (intonation of her voice)

oh life.

nate said he was going to buy me flowers,
but instead bought me a leather jacket....he's a strange one.

i tried this jacket on when it first came out, and took it off immediately (b/c I loved it.) & hung it back up.
i would have never guessed i would own this super awesome jacket.
it's too cold to wear it alone, but i still wear it underneath my coat, and then wear it indoors all day. obviously excited for spring.
we had a couple spring days last week, i think it was in the 40s-50s & everyone in our neighborhood decided to spend the day outside. (thus, the comment)

on sunday nate suggested we take the ferry to staten island  (linked for those of you who are like i was, and have no idea where that's located exactly), so we did. it was an aimless adventure, mostly to ride the ferry & also b/c it's free! once we got to the island, we didn't really know what one does in staten island, so after looking at a map, we decided to hit up 'silver lake park' ! (lol, missing LA much?) 

nate attempted to walk on the ice, after a couple steps it started crackling so he didn't continue. every time i watch this little clip i lol. i don't know why, maybe b/c you can witness the exact moment he notices the ice crackling. 

ps. sorry about the wind sound

alright buddy ol pals. i am drifting off here & better go to bed, before i fall asleep on the sofa, and then forgetaboutit!

& of course here are my strange boys, doing what they do best.
