Today The Boyfriend I explored a bit of the city. We went to Central Park and took a carriage ride. Our driver was stoned - he smoked a doob WHILE HE WAS DRIVING US! While we waited to be seated at Serendipity 3, we walked to Dylan's Candy Bar and looked around. Love all the candy-themed songs. We also celebrated our anniversary. Go us!

Tonight we celebrated The Boyfriend's birthday. I took him to a Portuguese restaurant (scoring points with TB's mom, who is Portuguese, oh yeah!). The service was excellent. They knew it was TB's birthday and they treated him like the prince he is! Hee.

Mom and dad left for Newbury Park today. It was great to have them here to help me with my apartment, especially since I've been so sick. We had brunch before they left.
