Okay, so with a part time job and no school work I probably have a lot more time right now to do things like write blogs and print wedding photos (no. I still haven’t gotten around to getting that done yet. but I will…) than I will have in the next year, or ever really, but for some reason that is the most un-motivating thought for writing a blog post.

Take that un-motivating thought and then add the fact that I haven’t blogged in a while and a lot of things have happened. So, I know that when I do get around to finally writing, I will have to write about a ton of stuff and that will take a really long time!! (And, hush all you logical people out there who see that I have a lot of time on my hands right now….) All of those factors added together creates the perfect storm for absolute laziness and no blogging.

So in an effort to stop this ridiculous cycle of lethargy, I am going to start blogging about recent events that have been occurring with Drew and Anna in NYC and, if I have time, I might get around to blogging about earlier this summer.

About a week ago, Drew and I talked about how we weren’t getting around to different parts of New York enough. So, we decided to start up our “Try it Tuesdays” idea that Drew borrowed from an old co-worker back in Minnesota.

For several months we had a date night every Tuesday. On alternating Tuesdays, one of us would find something in the Twin Cities we had never done before and then we’d go try it. (Get it? Try it Tuesday. I know. We are almost too cute, aren’t we??) It was a good way to explore the cities and we had some fun in the process. :)

Unfortunately, we got busy with applying to grad school, planning a wedding and moving to New York, etc, etc. You know, stuff people get busy with. So we stopped. However, we have decided to resurrect the idea in New York. And, since we are supposed to be blogging about our experiences, we decided that whoever doesn’t pick the outing, has to blog about it the next day. I already broke that rule. But, hey, it’s better now than never.

So, Drew was responsible for our first outing. (We decided on Wednesdays instead of Tuesdays and I can’t think of anything clever to call it right now. We are open to suggestions though.) We met up in Midtown at 6:30 PM and started walking south.

Drew wasn’t going to tell me where we were going until we got there, because he wanted to make it a surprise, he said. But I am pretty sure it was more to do with the fact that he wasn’t really sure if the place was still there.

However as we were walking down an obscure side street I looked above and noticed a sign saying “Wine and Chocloate Bar”. “Ah!” I thought, “Wine AND chocolate?!?” And then, we stopped. Yay! We were going to the Wine and Chocolate Bar. needless to say I was pretty happy about the first week’s choice.

We had to wait outside for a while until a table opened up, but that was okay as it was a nice night and I was able to get in my good deed for the day by helping one of the servers hold a cart full of wine glasses (Drew all ready patted me on the back for that one). So we sat and had some wine and dinner and some chocolate.

I was planning on taking pictures of all these things, but forgot about this plan until only one piece of chocolate was left… oops! But, it was a good experience overall, good food, good conversation, good fun. So the first week of Wacky Wednesdays? What to do Wednesdays? Try it Tuesdays on Wednesday? I don’t know.

Anyway, our first week was a good one. Now it’s my turn to come up with something. Hopefully it will be just as fun and you will all read about it in less than a week. I don’t think Drew is as afflicted with the cycle of lethargy that I am prone to, but we shall see…
