walking wonders.

"english girls approximately": ryan adams

waking up to the sounds of the rumbling city outside my window have been quite the effective alarm clock to make me actually want to start the day. however, this weekend was used to catch up on lack of sleep & to give my feet ample time to recover from the day's many long walks.

we walk everywhere.

{and occasionally sit on rocks}

up 5th avenue, through central park, getting lost in soho, wandering around looking at restaurants, oogling pretty window boxes & dreaming about future apartments on 10th street.

which is why we tend to excuse our meals at the end of the day.

for instance, this 1/2 pound burger from the coffee shop in union square.

rumor has it, the coffee shop is notorious for hiring gazelle-like models to trapse around serving food & looking fabulously thin. rumor also has it that eating a 1/2 pound cheeseburger in front of a starving model is the best tongue-in-cheek revenge an average girl can get.

after a nearly 5 mile walk around town today, i'd say we earned a 1/2 pound burger with a side of fries & sly revenge. after full tummys & blistered feet, we also justified a $5 cab ride home.

well deserved.
