february is short enough that i can hog the whole thing i think. my birthday was thursday, but we went out on saturday so we could do a whole day of a date.
we started out at the brooklyn flea market. it’s the best in nyc.
they have it in this old bank during the cold winter, however, it felt as cold inside as it did outside. we kept our gloves/coats/scarves on.
the building is gorgeous.

sifting through raggedy old coats. i am cool with the overpriced vintage clothes on ebay/etsy, because it is a huge adventure to find something pretty and in good condition.
in the basement vault, there are a bunch of local food vendors. we had gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and soup. i love sandwiches and soup.
i only bought a gift for a friend, but my favorite thing about fleas are just browsing the old stuff. i love to see things that i had growing up. jake and i showed each other rotary phones, pencil sharpeners, chairs, lunchboxes, clothes and dishes the we had in our childhood homes. it’s fun to remember.
then we went to the ballet. are you curious why i still don’t do my hair even when i’m doing something fancy? it’s because i only like doing other people’s hair. like my client who plays the flute for the NYC ballet. he got us amazing tickets to sleeping beauty. we were front row so i got to see down in the orchestra pit. it was fun to watch him wail on the flute during his solos. pretty talented…
the lincoln center theaters are so beautiful. i love my birthday date.
sleeping beauty was so great! it was pretty cool being so close that we could hear their point shoes shuffling about the stage. during the performance i realized that i weigh more than everyone on the stage. combined. haha.
i guess 26 wont be so bad. i’m looking forward to another great year with my baby and my baby’s daddy. hooray!
also, i was asked to be the maid of honor at an upcoming (2011)best friend’s wedding. i have never been so excited in my whole life. whole. life.
I want to move to NY and do what you did for your BDay for MY BDay. That made no sense. I don't think I could drag Scott to a ballet, lucky! Thanks for the happy bday wish!
Yeah! I love the Brooklyn Flea Market…we go there like every other week because we can't get enough of it.
Happy (belated) Birthday!
We have a lot in common. We both love soup.
