On Friday night we went to a store opening party in Soho for the French boutique Agnes B. I wanted the whole collection. Such beautifully subtle details. Take a look here. For such pretty clothes, it’s not too crazy of prices, but still out of my range. I’m still crossing my fingers that Jake might be able to get a discount in exchange for his press coverage.

We walked around the neighborhood for a little bit before deciding on La Esquina for dinner. It was a very pretty night, but very cold. We’ve had such a lingering winter, I can’t believe I can still wear a wool coat and it’s April! We’ve only had a few warm days, but mostly cold ones. I try to not complain about the weather, but when it’s still winter even though it’s supposed to be spring, I get sad.

After a mediocre dinner, we went up to midtown to get a shot of the Empire State Building lit up in blue. Jake wanted a shot of it, because the blue lights signify Autism awareness. Jake’s saucy little sisiter, Laura, has Autism, and is a very loved family member. Laura has brought so much fun and laughter and drama and sauce (that word just suits her) to our lives, we feel sad that we can’t see her often. It felt nice to think about her so much that night. For Christmas, she made us a bag to cook potatoes in it and we use it all the time. She’s the cutest.

While Jake was taking this picture, I started to get impatient. It was freezing and I was getting annoyed that he was taking so long to get the picture perfect. I guess that is what a photographer does when they have an idea of how they want the picture to turn out, but I was starting to lose it. So I said something along the lines of “ok, see you at home”, and I ran off into the subway before he could say a word. I was thinking I was so sneaky and I hopped onto the train feeling so alive after I was able to escape the cold before Jake could stop me. As my hands began to thaw, I laughed a little at the thought of getting home so much earlier than Jake so he could realize how long he was taking, and then I looked up and realized I had gotten on the train going back downtown. My pride took a beating when I got off and waited several minutes for the uptown train. I got home and Jake was sitting on the couch laughing at me as I sheepishly explained where I had been. I still don’t even know how it happened.

On Saturday morning, we hauled a’ up to Piper Jane’s house. She was super mellow and wanted to do nothing but snuggle dad and watch movies. I think she basically has every old man pose figured out by now. Her leg….all relaxed and comfy, resting on her knee. Que cute! (that’s spanish for “How Cute!”)

And then Pip fell asleep and it was adorable. I want Piper Jane to teach me how to nap like her. She is so talented.

On Saturday night we saw a invited dress rehearsal of The House of Blue Leaves on Broadway. The acting was incredible. Edie Falco deserves a Tony. So does Ben Stiller for that matter. It was a great show, I loved it.

Hooray!
