a person in 3,900 photos meredith ...to pick up the all the painted pieces of the awesome loft that we hired Pauly to custom-build for our new apartment! On Tuesday evening, we started packing up stuff. Maddy was unsettled by all the activity. After we got back from our medial feast, Scott came over to hang. Haha. Later that afternoon, we met up with Meredith's parents and drove out to Medieval Times in NJ to celebrate Jo's birthday! (There's a full entry dedicated to this coming soon). Ready for the festivities! Mer and me. Prepare to enter the ORDER OF SORCERY! Ready to get your joust on? Elven-eared Meredith in front of the castle in all its glory! Haha. Feeling it. Food coma recovery back at our apartment. Afterwards, we went next door to The Smith for a big brunch! Awesome. ...and brought them to the bank on 1st Ave that has a coin change machine! Here, add spices! Meredith with some of the finer-looking pies that came out of the oven as the night progressed! Mmmmmmm, pizza party. ...pick up $5 sunglasses. Meredith got these guys (I don't think I ever saw them again).... ...and had brunch on the sidewalk. I can't imagine that any of us would've enjoyed her reading nearly as much had she kept her regular shoes on. (I love this photo SO MUCH!) Haha. Thanks for inviting us, Sarah! Just a relaxing Sunday with my buds. Later that afternoon, we went to the dog park and ran into Matt. Saturday was a beautiful spring day so we walked around the neighborhood and found a brand new place on 4th Street to get brunch. Una came over to hang on Friday night. Aw, Maddy's all partied out. Gearing up to pop the question! Satisfied fans of science and lasers. Meredith went with a different sign. And a Snuggie. Haha. Present time! Yum. Make your own t-shirt crafting supplies! Present time! ...because there's a giant Mrs Fields chocolate chip cookie inside! PS - Look in the oven... Wish! (Thanks for the amazing dinner, Chuck & Jo!) Me and the lovely birthday girl! Bologna tongue. After pizza, we went back to our apt. Here's David looking skeptical about Meredith's recent bodega purchase. Corn cob pipe = grounds for divorce. On Thursday night we met up with David at Gruppo for some pizza to celebrate Mer's forthcoming birthday. Awake! Mer has trouble sleeping sitting up... ...so she folds down the seat-tray for her face. Ah, much better! Traveling with Mer and her parents. Brunch goodbye. Happy February 2010! Satisfied brunch customer. Melissa was in town from Portland and we went out to meet her for drinks! Aaron was also in town! I hadn't seen him in fifteen years! Mer with a Mr T. amount of beads. Mer went with red and feathery. Just your ordinary matte-black pistol-grip dildo laying around the party, NBD. Happy Valentine's Day, my dear! Here's a delicious s'more served on the most pointless thing ever invented! I spied this little gem for sale and couldn't resist. It's a microwave s'mores maker. Part 3: Vegetarian marshmallows. Ok, so it's s'mores stuff. What about #4? Part 2: Graham crackers. Part 1: Hershey bars Meredith trying to feel a guess. For dessert? Back at home that evening, I kicked off the gift portion of Valentine's Day with some chocolates. I love this photo! On Sunday afternoon Meredith and I walked down to Chinatwon. We had Gruppo pizza for dinner... Mer checked the mail and received a mother load of sci-fi paperbacks she'd gotten on PaperbackSwap . Siege, Nina and Mer. I left the game-watching crowd in the living room to check out what was going on in the office. Me, Mark, Ellen and Mer. Meredith scored first place in the clean plate club. (I took my headband off! Shhh!) Time to unlace. Rollersiege! How can anyone think about fighting with all these angels around? Mer and me. Haha. Victory lap. Then Siege! We posed for a group photo before returning our skates. First with me in the photo! All limbered up? Staten Island, here we come! Katie and Mer. Happy birthday, good one! Meredith admiring Katie's well-stocked and meticulously labeled closet. (OTK = entire box of "over the knee" socks) Happy Saturday, you two! Happy 30th, Niki! Good times. Mer and Sar. Haha. Look who managed to show up just in time for cake! Stairwell 2:30am. Happy birthday, Sarah! Love you! Mer and Rachel. Josh, Mer, Rachel and Peter. Later that night we went over to Matt's apt with Karen and Sar. Saying goodbye to my couch buddies on Monday morning. Mer and Sar. Matt and Mer. Pre-show warm up. Mmmm, cake! A whole bunch of us met up at Matt's apartment to sing happy birthday to Ellen and have some cake before heading crosstown to the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theater to see a show. Make a wish Ellen! Friday night I geeked out and played a marathon session of Dragon Age: Origins I played with a character that I tried to make look like Meredith because it's awesome to watch your wife wear armor and fight dragons. Haha. Maddy and Mer. Team 3: Gurj, Matt and Meredith went with a JERSEY SHORE theme. Here's Snooki (complete with Boof), The Situation (complete with THE Situation) and JWoww complete with no pants!. AMAZING.
