It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up magazine...

Salt 'n' Peppa and Heavy D up in the limousine...somethin' somethin' somethin'...I let my tape rock til my tape popped...umm who knows the rest? Last night my boyfriend and I went to Brooklyn, Notorious B.I.G.'s old 'hood. I don't think we were anywhere near the street corners where he used to deal drugs, but things have changed a lot since then, so who knows, we could have been! R.I.P. Biggie Smalls. An.y.way...despite the freezing cold weather, we decided to venture out to Park Slope and try a new restaurant my friend Jenny has raved about.


As soon as we walked inside Franny's I could tell I was going to like it. It was quaint and cozy, and the pizzas I saw other diners noshing on looked awesome.

We ordered a couple of appetizers, and I joked with the waitress that this would be our "last supper." She didn't get it, so I had to further explain that our New Years health resolustions were about to start! My boyfriend got leeks with a fried egg and pecorino sardo on top to start.

And I got the lentil soup. It doesn't look too exciting, but it was really good and hearty. We had our share of alcohol over the weekend, so we passed on the drinks menu, but I overheard the table next to us comtemplating and waaaay overthinking their wine selection. The waiter (who might have been a friend) would bring out a taste of wine, and they'd give their review on it, and then try another one, then again explain why they did or didn't like it and whether or not it would "bring out the flavors" in their meal. Geeeze. Just drink the damn wine, people!

Sausage pizza with buffalo mozzarella--YUM!

We also got the spaghetti with lemon sauce. It was delicious, truly. I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but it was so good, and the citrus flavor was unlike anything I had ever had on pasta before!

Ok, so this is unrelated, but I saw this taxi light in the subway earlier in the day and thought I'd post it. I actually thought for two seconds that I might somehow try to bring it back to my boyfriend's apartment because he collects all sorts of weird, I mean awesome, crap, but I decided against it.

So guys, it's Monday. Back to reality. Here are my New Years resolutions:

-Eat healthier more consistently
-Work out harder
-Read the newspaper more
-Go to church two times a month
-Take better care of my things
-Cook more
-Last but not least, FIND A JOB!!!

What are yours? How does everyone feel to be back at work?!
