traumatic experience

phewww. i had a traumatic experience yesterday. joe was working (on sunday...i know) and i ran up the street to the hardware store to get some 3m hooks to hang my belts on. i was wearing 3 quarter length yoga pants, a t-shirt, and a fleece. then, trauma, i come home an realize: i have no keys and i have no cell phone!!!!!

so after standing in my building's very small little "lobby" for about 5 minutes i decided to go get myself a snack at Sweet Farm, this little sweet shop on Bedford Ave. I got a coffee and a delectable mud pudding.

so that took about 20 minutes. then i went back to my building and stood in the lobby some more. for like, an hour. reading, ironically, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Wide Window. mind you, this lobby is not heated and i was freezing. finally, i decided to look for a hidden key into the building and sure enough, there was one. so after an hour in the unheated lobby i was in to the heated stairwell. i continued to read.

then, after another 45 minutes, our next door neighbor came out, leaving to go to dinner, and she said i could climb out their window and around the fire escape and into our window. i knew that i had left one of the windows open. so i'm out on the fire escape and the window that is unlocked is the one that's not "on" the fire escape, its the one with nothing but three floors of air below. so i opened that one all the way and tried reaching in to unlock the window that was "on" the fire escape. but i couldn't reach.

then i used my awesome skills and used the watering can that we had sitting on the fire escape to reach in and push the other window lock open. then i could maneuver myself in the window and into a nice warm apartment.

anyway. on to other exciting events. on sunday morning joe and i decided to make breakfast. we had bacon, tomato, and red pepper omelets. this is me cooking the bacon. the omelets were delicious, of course.

around 8:00 our FreshDirect order arrived. how exciting. its like magic.


and this is the mirror we are getting on tuesday. one of joe's client's at work can't use it in his new apartment. so we get it for free. a $2,000 mirror! all we have to do is pick it up of course. so we're getting another zip car. this time a tacoma pick-up truck. and joe and i are going to move this mirror up the stairs and into our apartment. it is sure to be an adventure.
