Hello Brooklyn!

We made it to Brooklyn with great timing...

Rian's Room.. I would kill to have window light like that.. gorgeous.

Taking over


Sarah as a human scale to show just how insanely large and open the rooms are

So we lasted about five minutes in the apartment before we couldn't hold our excitement in any longer and booked it on up to the roof...


taking it all in


yes, I had a beer as soon as we got in. &
yes, I totally deserved it after driving 15 hours


okay, it's sunk in! now i'm cheezin'...


...but not cheezin' as hard as sarah haha


yeah, we're up high as hell :D


Coming back down...

Jer-Z to Brooklyn!

Monday morning we spent with my favorite woman ever-- my Grandma Gen, down at her shore house in Belmar.


hello kitty on grams' couch... for lynn, who asked us to take pictures of hello kitty in the city :D


So I not only broke my toe, but I also managed to rip off my nail and receive two deep puncture wounds all at the same time... thanks to my grandma's walking machine that I got my foot stuck under.


Sick! & this was about 20 minutes after it happened and all the blood had been cleaned up :( :(

So we hung out with Grandma for a little bit... she cooked us a delicious breakfast (of course!) and then we got on our way to Brooklyn...


Last toll in dirty jer-z! bye jersey!


first sites of the city!!




HELLO BROOKLYN


Best initials ever bitch! hahah

Roadtrip! Sunday 11 May 2008

Sarah and I left around 4:30pm on Sunday afternoon -- destination Brooklyn. We met at the kennel to say goodbye to Lynn & TJ, who are more family than friends.


Saying our goodbyes... & yes, TJ is my Weezy double and he may even be hotter than Mr. F....TJ, I miss you so much. You're the only man for me... patron partners for life baby :)


Let's go! (Messy, wind blown hair for life)


BF's! (MINUS LAUREN :( :( :()




No, I did not drive 90mph the whole way... but I sure as hell made great timing the first two hours...


Sunshine!! & This is about when I slowed down :D hahah


Say goodbye to the sunshine... & hello to the sunset...




I've got longer eyelashes than you ;P

So about 100 miles outside of DC, give or take a few, we started hitting really really really REALLY bad traffic. It had been sprinkling rain the whole time, but it just started pouring around there and didn't let up for the rest of the way. As you saw I was making great timing... and then I didn't go over 30mph for 4 fucking hours because of the traffic & rain. Absolutely miserable. I couldn't even find a gas station to stop at for over 15 miles because every exit said "ramp closed due to flooding..." It was freaking insane. My car is an element, literally - just a box on wheels. I thought we were going to be picked up and flipped over by the wind no less than 6 or so times (and let me reiterate - I was actually scared we would)




We finally found a 7Eleven and it was disgusting and about 40 degrees outside and that's what I get for wearing a sports bra, goddamnit.




Around 2am, Sarah was passed the fuck out and I was still at a deadstop.

Okay, so around 3am I started getting ridiculously tired. I had stopped once in 11 hours at that point.. so I got off road and decided to stop at my favorite woman in the world's house -- my Grandma Gen. We got there at around 5am and I crashed... hard.
