the sap could kill you

date: Dec 20

drink: Pinot Nero at Bread and then Syrah at Cafe Select

what: the first, dare i say it, romantic date with J...

we'd just spent an inordinate amount of time with eachother in less than stellar conditions (trapesing around manhattan in the snow while i xmas shopped) but when we broke, it was only to return to our respective abodes, make ourselves presentable, and get our asses back out for a little less snow and a little more date... i was happy to find that Bread was a little on the quiet-er more candle-lit side, as i was feeling slightly (ok, disgustingly) sappy and just kinda wanted to sit back and enjoy new-boyfriend-land over some good food and good wine... after that, it was in search of a quiet bar to continue our night, but there wasnt one to be found. we landed at Cafe Select which while very cute and definitely a place to remember, not quite the perfect little quiet bar that we were looking for... but thats ok - its still in that phase where we can ignore everyone around us.

god, even my retelling of the evening is sickeningly sweet and gross.
