The November Roundup

Here are all the photos I took in November of 2010 that didn't end up in their own entry.

Tuesday, November 2nd

astra, cynthia, meredith — Started November off with a taco party at Casa de Wang!

The secret to good guacamole...

meredith — ...is all in the avocados.

carol, cynthia, katie d — Our lovely host with Katie and Carol.

meredith — Cabbage cross-section.

So many plates of goodies to outfit your taco.

amanda, missy — Amanda & Missy.

meredith — TACO #5!

astra — Astra's impression of the Cholula lady. Haha.

cynthia — Post-meal spread out.

meredith — Hammock retreat.

carol, cynthia, matt, missy — Thanks for hosting, Cynthia!

Thursday, November 4th

Hell hound welcomes you.

ellen, meredith — Later that night we met up with Ellen who had just picked up her official number to run in the New York Marathon coming up in two days!

fatty, frank, liz, louis ck, marina, matt, meredith — Then we all went to see Louis CK live at Carnegie Hall! Frank, Marina (with Henry inside!), Dave, Mer, Liz & Matt!

Friday, November 5th

maddy, me — Maddy eats SO MUCH rawhide, but has trouble eating the knots at the end because they're too big for her mouth.

maddy — Rather than let them go to waste, I figured maybe I would saw them open into strips she could chew.

Sawing rawhide without a vice = impossible.

meredith — Hahah. Crafty Kraftersen decided to step things up a notch and busted out her Dremel.

meredith — Other than looking adorable, the only thing that was accomplished...

...was that the Dremel heated up the rawhide and made our entire apartment smell like if a cow fell off a motorcycle and slid down the highway. Haha.

Saturday, November 6th

meredith — On Saturday we went out for a massive breakfast.

Veggie burger club, omg.

jeet, meredith — Later that evening, we went out to visit Gurj and Jared in Queens and hand-painted signs to cheer Ellen on in during the marathon tomorrow!

Meredith and Gurj's design collaboration was a profound success.

jared — Jared was a big fan of the way the heart is running.

Right-ventricle headband is so necessary.

Finished poster!

Pack-of-animals close-up.

After we were finished decorating, we might have celebrated by watching a bunch of S01 Office.

Oh, and gorging ourselves on take out and treats! (Hey, we're not the ones that have to run a marathon tomorrow!)

Sunday, November 7th

On Sunday we headed way uptown on the East Side to surprise Ellen and cheer her on at the 18-mile mark!

WE SUPPORT YOU TEAM HART!

We got a progress update and learned we had time to grab coffees and delicious iced cookies. Mmmmm.

jeet, matt, meredith — Matt, Craig, Mer and Ellen.

So many runners. "Is that her? Is that her?" Over and over. Hahah.

jeet, sarah — Sarah made it up with time to spare!

meredith — Right before 1pm we spotten Ellen!

ellen — Hahaha. She was so excited to see us!

jeet, sarah — Sarah and Gurj lent vociferous support as Ellen ran long into the distance.

jeet, sarah — Supporting Team Hart so hard. Haha.

Street was littered with bananas!

Festive cabbage designs through Stuytown on the walk home.

meredith — Marigold.

maddy — You never take me to no marathons.

Fall colors.

me, meredith — Taking the hound for a walk.

Ripe tomatoes at the corner bodega.

Fall ivy.

Thursday, November 11th

maddy, meredith — Maddy hardly has any hair and pretty much requires clothing to not constantly shiver once the temp drops below seventy degrees.

maddy, meredith — ...you can pretty much pose her however you want.

maddy, meredith — It's like living taxidermy.

maddy — The rare hooded snarl-weasel.

Friday, November 12th

Oh hell yes. For months and months I would get my lunch at Bonobos on 23rd Street.

Saturday, November 13th

On Saturday morning, I rode my bike down to Tribeca...

...to meet up with Gurj and take a pilates class for the first time together. The place was closed for some reason...

jeet, meredith — ...so we walked back to the East Village together and met up with Meredith for some middle eastern brunch!

Mix and match plate.

fran, me — Fran was in town visiting from London!

meredith — The ivy on the fence across the street from our apartment looks beautiful in the fall!

meredith — Bright red!

Meredith had designed and sewed a bunch of wrist-wallets...

fran — ...Fran bought one!

Shoe friends.

I spent the rest of the evening working on entries for this website...

...and then practicing piano!

Late night nugget dinner.

Sunday, November 14th

On Sunday afternoon, Mer and I walked down to the Donut Plant to get some fancy donuts!

vin — Afterwards, we met up with Vin who was down in Chinatown shopping for some...

...anniversary lobsters.

The sun setting before 4pm makes me feel panicky!

Wednesday, November 17th

I left work a little early on Wednesday in order to run some last minute errands before departing on our trip to surf camp in Nicaragua!

Flatiron twilight.

Packing the important stuff.

Made sure Meredith had a valid passport this time!

maddy — This one gets so nervous when we start packing for a trip! After we finished packing, we dropped this one off at Leigh's and headed to the airport!

Saturday, November 27th

Fast-forward a bit and we're back from from our trip to Nicaragua. Nothing makes me happier than coming back home after being away and getting to order from all of my favorite restaurants all over again! You gotta go away in order to come back!

Just because you're eating corn doesn't mean it can't be sexy.

Tuesday, November 30th

ellen, emily t — On Tuesday night I went to an advisory dinner for Ellen & Emily's clothing company.

meredith, quinn — Mer's a hairsniffer! Happy November 2010!

MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS! Time flies when you finish a marathon and decide from then to watch tv instead of run.
