I'm Gonna Make You A Mix Tape... You Like Phil Collins?

Last night Craig and I watched about 4 hours of
one of our favorite shows, 30 Rock and we laughed
our asses off! It's hard to decide which character I like
best, but for nown I'm definitely choosing Liz Lemon...
and Kenneth.

This evening I'm hanging out with the girls...Amanda
and Erica, and probably some other gals. Not sure
what we're going to do, but I can' wait to catch up!

I'm also very excited because Craig is going to help
me clear out the area of our house, the sun room, so
I can have a spot to do crafty things I like so much...
I hope to do something like this.It's an open area by
our kitchen on the way to the back yard so it's not
secluded, but it has great lighting and I can look
outside while I'm getting my craftiness on. Word.

FRIDAY... i love you.

Crazy busy week, yes it's been insane.


Craig and I had some delicious El Patio for
our dinner last night. We early bird-ed it and
it was sooo good. I had the combo which consists
of enchiladas. 1 relleno and 1 taco, beans + rice.
Craig had huevos rancheros for dinner and we
both left very full and happy. Later, we watched
(for the 3rd time!) American Gangster and loved
it... again. We were also going to watch another
film, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart: a film
about Wilco, but we were too sleepy after having
a snack of muffalettas, balsamic vinegar chips, a
(LARGE) cinnamon roll and all that lying around is
pretty draining too. Anyhoo, we slept like some lil'
piggies, all comfy and fat and shit.

Anyhow, work is insanely busy, I should get back to
it, but I'll leave you with another Holga shot:

Check Out

my awesome new purse/bag that I got from Petaline.

It came in the mail today and you better believe I'm filling
it up with all my favorite goodies!

Happy Weekend!

Boy, do I love Fridays!

Here are a few things I'm looking forward to:

1. 'Weeds' tonight... I am in love with almost
all of the crazy characters.

2. Sleeping in... the sweet pug has kept me
up the last few nights with his human-like
snores and need to sleep between my legs,
as though I'm giving birth to him.

3. Develop my current roll of film on my
Holga, as I think/feel/hope there some
pretty good shots.

4. Although I don't really watch football,
I will endure the game to see Tom Brady
all sweaty and hot.

5. Along with the other superbowl goodies
like hotwings, hotdogs ( i LOVE hotdogs!)
and chile con carne, I will be making
homemade mac + cheese and I can't wait!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Challengers

Neko with New Pornographers:



she'll always be my best girl.

Casino Royale

was the movie of choice over at our house last night.
Angus and I chose it while we ran out to pick up some
dinner and while Craig was at UNM listening to some
philosopher guy speak. I have to say, the movie was
alright. It could've been Daniel Craig.

NM State Fair

time of year is rolling around and I can
hardly wait! Every year, Craig, Angus and I
spend an afternoon enjoying all the fair
has to offer. Angus will usually ride some
sketchy rides, and we all like to play games
with the nice carnies. The animal farm and
the 4-H exhibits are fun too. But, our absolute
fave thing to do at the fair is eat! There are
a thousand different things you can have and
they are all delicious! These are some faves:

Roasted corn with cayenne, lemon salt and butter.
Pork on a Stick... very tasty and porky.
Sausages and Peppers... not as good as Craig makes.
Fry bread with lots of powdered sugar.
Green chile tortilla burgers.
Relleno dogs... yes that's a weiner in there.
Cotton candy... everyones favorite.
Aguas Frescas - a favorite of 'dos twins.

There is also some major people watching...
and cow milking.
and "69 sex all day" stickers.
and kids embarrassed 'cause their moms
dropped them off and now they need to
be picked up w/o their potential hook
up seeing.

good times.

I love the fair.

Get Your GREEN On...

I'm lovin' Color Week so far!
