This chocolate cake is screaming EAT ME right this very second.

If you had a gigantic piece of famous chocolate cake from Amy's Bread sitting on your counter RIGHT. THIS. VERY. SECOND. would you eat it & never say a word? Or wait for your hard working & deserving husband to come home so that you could share? Sometimes I really hate doing the right thing. It's been calling my name all afternoon, but I've resisted. Mike keeps on calling & saying that he'll be home later than he thought. And then later, because a client called. Later = my stomach is grumbling. Sigh.

This week has been busy. I was wishing today that it was Thursday, instead of Wednesday, so much so that I briefly convinced myself that it was, in fact, Thursday. Shoot. It's definitely Wednesday. And. I've taken exactly 4 photos all week. This tends to make me sad & feeling like I've accomplished very little. I need to learn that I don't need to document everything. But I still love to. I pulled 15,000+ photos off of my computer this week & put them on external drives (finally). It feels good to have them safely backed up, & it was fun to look back through a year of photos, but my iPhoto is feeling a little... empty. And it's a little intimidating. But really - it's exciting. It's going to be a good year, & I'm excited to document it. 

We had dinner with Tim & Amy in Brooklyn last night. Chimu. Can't get enough of that place & their lomo saltado. It's so worth the trek across the river. We came home & watched Lost. It totally stresses me out, but we've got to finish it this year. I'm only watching a few other shows right now. Grey's. 30 Rock. Modern Family. The Bachelor. Although I can't stand Jake, or most of the girls for that matter. I sit there & complain for the entire show while Mike keeps telling me to just turn it off if I hate it so much. I watch it every week though, of course. Maybe it's good for my brain to turn off once a week. Oh, & American Idol, although I really hate this stage. I should just start watching again in 2 months when it gets really interesting.

I quit Bare Minerals. Already (!!). It's too dry. Too messy. I'm ridiculous, but I love Sephora & their satisfaction guaranteed policy. I'm trying Smashbox's cream to powder foundation. It goes on with a fluffy brush so it can be really nice & light - but with more coverage if you need it. I like it a lot. And I also picked up some more moisturizer since my face is wanting to just fall off thanks to this New York City winter. The nice woman at Sephora who trapped me in a 20 minute conversation convinced me that this budget-friendly option would work just as well as something more fancy. My face is already feeling better today. 

Today? Tried 202 at Chelsea Market with Kelsey & Corinne for lunch. I think I'll be going back often. For starters - they have brunch every single day. Brunch is my favorite, & it was lovely to enjoy it without having to battle the Saturday crowds. Secondly - the menu was perfect. Simple, fresh & inexpensive. I ordered the hammy-cheesy-eggy sandwich. That's really what it was called. On a special English muffin, it was perfect. Kelsey had the french toast & Corinne ordered the pancakes with blackberry compote & creme fraiche. Amazing. I grabbed bites of both. And the restaurant? It's nestled within a designer boutique. Their original shop / restaurant is in Notting Hill. Lindsey,  you should go!

*Post-edit: Mike got home. Cake was eaten. Delicious.
