Spring Break Begins

Spring break is finally here, but it got off to a rough start. The first two days of Melon's break were devoted to a music theory conference (ugh!), hosted at Hofstra University. (It's not enough that they have to schedule a theory conference during break; they have to have it where she works! You know how she loathes her commute!) The conference wasn't all bad . . . Brian presented a paper! It was well received, but I have to tell you that he spelled his own name wrong on his handout!!!! Geeez!

Hurray Monday! Break officially begins! Unfortunately Brian had class and work as usual, so Melon decided to make this her "veg" day. She slept . . . and slept . . . and ate junk food . . . and slept . . . and slept some more . . . and showered around 7pm . . . and went to bed at 8:30pm. Ahhhh . . . break!

Tuesday was slightly more productive: Melon cleaned house! This, of course, is something she LOVES to do. She even scrubbed her winter shoes clean, gathered old clothes for Goodwill, and organized the hallway closet, well . . . sort of . . .

Brian finally began his Spring break late Tuesday afternoon. We immediately made our way to the Barnes and Noble in our favorite Brooklyn neighborhood! There's nothing like a little quality "Barnesie" time to kick off a vacation . . . am I right, Moseleys?! Then we discovered a cozy little coffee/wine bar that specializes in chocolate! Yum! After shopping for groceries at our favorite corner market (SALE on vodka! woo hoo!), we headed home for a movie!

And after bawling our eyes out to "Marley and Me,"naturally, we took more pictures of you know who . . .


Here's an extra one from our walk to Prospect Park:
