Enagagement Party Week
Last week Abe and I got engaged (still can't believe it!). One of the best parts of getting engaged is that everyone wants to celebrate with us!
During the week we met up at the Robeling Tea Room with a bunch of our NYC friends and family.
On Saturday we drove up to Massachusetts and my parents had a little BBQ with some of their friends (practically family) and Dave and Brit were able to come by for a little bit too.
On Sunday, Abe and I woke up super early and drove our butts back to New York to see my sister and her boyfriend. They were visiting his dad, which is awesomely near Beacon, so we had another BBQ, got to meet his dad, played with Wesley, and chopped down a cherry tree.
Abe and I also did a ton of yard work this weekend. Can't wait to share photos of the garden plans!

The Great Comic Debate of 2010
You may remember the Great Cracker Debate of 2009, and today I am here to bring you the Great Comic Debate of 2010.
If you were in solitary confinement for the rest of your life and couldn't have anything in your cell except a daily comic (but you can collect them and keep them all) would you rather have Cathy or Ziggy or Family Circus?

Beacon Weekend: Big, BIG News!
This weekend was really fun: bowling on Friday, a delicious dinner at Walter Foods and my friend Aaron's birthday party in Brooklyn on Saturday, my first trip to Stew Leonard's, and crazy, insane storms that ripped trees from the earth.
However, probably the most exciting thing happened late Sunday afternoon while on a walk at Jay Sharp Park on the Hudson River in Beacon.
It was there, in knee-high rain boots, wading in the flooded park, that Abe proposed to me and...
WE ARE ENGAGED!!!
I can't even begin to describe how excited we both are - we've been together for over 4 years and I couldn't wait for this day! He managed to surprise the life out of me, and when he pulled out the ring all I could say was "Are you serious?!" I was stunned for a minute and then my iPod when off and Adam Lambert started playing from my pocket. That broke my daze and we immediately started calling family and friends.
Four years ago I had told him about a ring I saw at the Cooper Hewitt Museum made by a Brooklyn designer named Kiel Mead and he actually remembered! Love you, Abe!
No dates or details figured out yet, but I am realllly looking forward to planning my wedding. Talk about the ultimate craft project....eeek!

Landscaping 101: Pavers
I have visions for how I want to landscape my front, back and side yards. I have a pretty small plot of land, but feel fortunate that the previous owners left me a blank slate.
I am trying to be realistic about what I will be able to manage this spring/summer, and one thing I absolutely want to do is remove part of the sidewalk that extends into my backyard and create a small patio for my grill.
I know I for sure what to use pavers/grass, but there are so many options.
I love the cut out for plants used in this one.

I love the use of Blue Star Creeper between the stones in this one.

I thought I wanted honeycomb pavers, but now I'm realizing they might be more difficult to install and provide an uneven surface for the grilling station.

Gardening 101: Starting Seeds
We are promised loads of rain in New York this weekend, which normally isn't the best of news, but this time it means all the snow in my yard will finally melt! That means it's time to prep the gardening ventures for 2010.

Tord Boontje
I must have at least one of these Until Dawn curtains by Tord Boontje. I would like it for the upstairs bathroom, but the space is very small and it would compete too much with my shower curtain, which I love and don't want to take down.
So the other options are to put it in my office, or to put it in the library, which someday will become into the "Adventurers Club" room.
However, I'm a little nervous about how Tyvek will look and why is white on white $65 extra? Ugh, I guess I won't get one - I don't want black or lilac.

Beacon Weekend: Spring Cometh
This weekend Abe and I went bowling twice. Friday night we were having dinner at Max's on Main St. when Abe said to me "I kind of want to go bowling." So did I.
Saturday morning Colleen arrived and we headed outside to enjoy the beautiful day. We took Colleen to Walkway Over the Hudson. She was pretty scared, but we walked the 2 miles back and forth, and even used the telescope thingy. I am very proud of her.
On our way home we stopped at Halftime - it's this crazy beer store that has every beer in the world. It was really fun.
Saturday night we brought Colleen, Margot and Matt to Cosmic Bowl - Colleen is good, but she's no stranger to a bowling alley. Margot & Matt have only bowled a couple times in their lives and they totally kicked ass. And, finally, the guy that runs the place acknowledged me & Abe and invited us to join a league.
After bowling we went home for to hang out and had ourselves some French fried potatoes with a fixins bar.
On Sunday I went for a walk by the river and enjoyed the spring-like weather.

Blizzard with a Capital Snow
Last week we had two big snow storms in Beacon. Earlier in the week we got about a foot of snow, and then from Thursday to Saturday we had a major blizzard - we're talking 3 feet of snow, no power, and fallen trees & branches.
It was pretty magical, but also a pretty dangerous. Our area was declared a State of Emergency. I'm lucky because my house got power back after 24 hours, but some people are still without and might not be getting it back until mid-week.
It was a fun weekend despite the lack of heat & hot water. On Friday Dennis came up for a visit and we were still able to visit the Walkway Over the Hudson. Then we hit up the Poughkeepsie Galleria and Friendly's just cause that's what you do to comfort yourself when you think you won't have heat & hot water for a week.
Riesling over freshly fallen snow - luxury at its finest.
And of course no weekend would be complete without Cosmic Bowling (still not sick of it and I bowling my all time high of 118).
On Sunday, Lauren came up for the day and we rounded out the weekend with a big ol' brunch at the Yankee Clipper.
