not even the half of it
The past two days have been terribly wonderful. Too good to be true, really. On Friday Sean and I went to see Farenheit 9/11. It was so crowded but we got tickets. It was very interesting. I enjoyed it. Oh and we have made the realization that getting apple juice with popcorn at the movies is delicious. After stopping by Sean's work to get his paychecks which were slightly higher than mine was, we scurried on home to get ready for (EEE!) Diane Arbus. Sean looked so handsome. I love his suit. We were all dressed up and it was lovely fun. We went to the lecture about her and I thought it was pretty interesting. The woman speaking read some of Diane Arbus' letters and talked about how she went about getting her pictures. She used to start talking to interesting people in Washington Square Park and end up asking if she could go home with them to photograph. Talk about guts! I hope one day I could do something like that. And after the lecture we saw Mrs. Merwin. It was exciting to talk to her again. I miss her.
When we walked into the exhibit, it was overwhelming excitement! Oh! It was too beautiful. White walls covered in beautiful 18' by 24' medium format pictures. Face to face with the pictures I've oogled over in the book. And some I hadn't ever seen before! The newborn baby picture was there! And the suburban family! They had it all! Even her cameras! And her collage wall! It was too good to be true. There was a lovely little one she took of girls at a fat camp. And a beautiful 35mm one of a man and a wife eating dinner. I want to go back every day. Afterwards, Sean took me to Bon Appetito. I love Bon Appetito. It's in a house with little red rooms with white trim with plants and pictures everywhere, only lit by lamps. And they have a cute little man who walks around playing a guitar and singing. It's so personal and wonderful. Not to mention, delicious. It makes you feel so lovey-dovey and there's nothing wrong with that.
Yesterday was my birthday and when I woke up, Sean came over with a dozen yellow roses and a dozen pink/coral roses. They're so beautiful. He also gave me the Japanese photography book with is amazing. The pictures are beautiful. So classic and grainy!! Very inspiring. AND he brought 7 layer cake and turtle cookies(the kind COATED in frosting)! Also Mom took me shopping yesterday and we hit up the club Monaco. Club Monaco is theee best. It was fun. Oh and Sean brought me the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Missy Elliot. Hell yes. I got my groove on, to Sean's embarassment. haha, I can't believe he gave me those. I would think he would strongly disapprove. He says we are never to speak of this again. Haha. Silly Sean. Then last night Dad took our family and Sean to Damian's and it was yuuummy. That Mona Lisa salad never lets me down. And the Infusione de Chocolate?! UUuuuuuuuuuh. Heart attack WELL worth it.
And when we got back, Sean gave me the present from just him (the book was from him and his parents).... A PICNIC BASKET!!! Oh my god, it's so perfect. It's adorable. It's like a straw weave on the outside and it's line with blue gingham on the inside. It's really big and comes with plate and cups and forks and knives and spoons! And little places to strap them in! And then inside the basket was a picnic blanket and like a pound of chocolate and the bracelet I had wanted a long time ago! He had remembered and it was so cute! We're going to have a picnic today and it's going to be so wonderful! It was the best present ever. I can't believe he thought of all that. Sean's so amazing. I love him so much.
And even today's going to be great! After our picnic, Sean and I are going on a triple date with Jennah and Nick and Ashley and John. We're going to bowl til we drop!! I think it's quite possible I'm the happiest person in the world. And if anyone's happier, than that's just sick!
