I had one good round of blog posts in there, but really I haven't done much since school has started, except for, well, what's in the title. This weekend though Brando and I made it out to the
Hideout Theatre for Ka-Baam! Hilarious, and just what I needed to relax and actually not think about studying for once. Friday night I took off at 10:30pm as soon as Brando got home from a guy's night, and went to go see
Couples Retreat with a girlfriend from school. More laughs, and a totally cute film. Vince Vaughn was not completely raunchy for once, and I loved his character. And his wife's character! I loved the way the couples all ended up in a totally different direction from what you expected at the beginning, and the way their relationships spawned new developments during therapy. Saturday was super deep clean day, somebody came to look at the house, then relax in super clean, decluttered house that has actually managed to stay clean since, then off to improv.
Sunday was study, study, study day which was perfect because tonight was girls night with tomato and bell pepper pizza, salad with red and yellow bell peppers, avocado and garlic cheese croutons, red wine, and Potbelly cookies. Oh, and, as always, Gossip Girl and The Hills (which the latter is pretty darn drama ridden this season and almost to the point where it's not worth watching). Random and yum!
Sorry for the ho-hum post. More fun and pictures soon! As soon as I have the time to create them, that is, muahahahaha.
Some fun "engagement" pictures we took in the meantime. Because, you know, being married almost nine years deserves that.
At GUESS I found two adorable pairs of earrings, one of them similar to these, only bigger and with black around the edges. The other pair were hoops with an opalescent appearance - perfect for summer. They look like you just picked shells up off the beach, but are also perfect for that winter outfit that needs just the right amount of winter white. $3.50 each!
At PacSun I found an adorable zebra print black and gray O'Neill cami - I heart O'Neill! - trimmed in black and with three buttons down the middle front, and a fun Lilu (my nickname : ) colorful purple, hot pink, black, and gray tank. As well as ripped jean shorts - yay next summer! All $5 a piece.
The deliciousness that is the P. Terry's veggie burger. Even for non-vegans like Brando and I, it's meaty and filling enough to order on the days we like to feel extra healthy.
Why P. Terry's is yummy. And can I also say one of the nicest guys I've ever met. I've only had the pleasure of talking to him many of the hundred times we've been there and he's been watching his baby, making sure it grows in the way that is P. Terry's.
Mmmm, fries. Fresh cut. Perfectly fried to a tender crisp in non yukky oil. Perfectly salted. Generally disappear in 2.4 seconds to the person who finishes their hamburger first. Not much more can I say.
This has to be my favorite shot from the day - at Gap, buying the boys pants before we went and played. Speaking of buying pants at Gap - did you know you can get them for the same price as Old Navy and Wal-mart but they last a hell of a lot longer and fit a lot better.
This is another favorite. I love how it turned out in black and white.
Puddles!
