Weekend Recap

I had a good time with the girls on Friday night... I love
talking shit and laughing and taking deer in headlights
photos.

Saturday, lots of layin' around... just how I like it. Craig
made us some delicious fried chicken, taters and veggies,
then we (craig, angus, me and bombs) watched a super
hilarious new Saturday Night Live with our girl Tina Fey.
Then, later in bed, after discussing politics and our world,
Craig and I made out like teenagers, dry humping and all...
it was AWESOME. You should try it (again), I highly, highly
recommend it.

Sunday, after sleeping in, the 3 of us had some eggs, bacon
and toast and hit the mall (uugghh, i hate the mall!) to get
Sweets some badly needed new jeans(he got the levi's 514's
and they make his ass look yum!). We had some lunch over
at the new Top Dog ( sauerkraut and spicy mustard for me)
and drove over to Central to take pics of this for Angus's Blog:


For dinner, we're having leftover chicken and this soup and
here are some shots of me making said soup:
yummy onions...

make me cry.

the almost finished product:


And now, while the soup is simmering and the boys
are playing some sort of video game, I'm also watching
the Oscars and diggin'on these people, 'cause they're
oh, so cool:






(photos of the celebs are obviously not mine)

And, of course, lots of this guy:

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!

Say It Isn't So...

the end of the weekend, that is.

I had a great weekend of:
enchiladas with onions and egg, flea markets, apple-
eating schrader sightings, blueberry pancakes, pug
hold-yous, chicken and rice soup, aguas-frescas,
chicharrones and el modelo, chocolate cake, boys
fishing and me at the movies, polaroid cameras for
cheap, bladerunner on vhs and some grilled flank
steak in the rain... ok, sprinkles. but grilled.

still, it was a great weekend!

here are some photos... random ones.

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.



Come to mama...

Filming in New Mexico

Game, starring an old boyfriend...

I wonder if I'll run into him since they're
filming here in Albuquerque...
I better look my best.

Girl Mullets, Sweater Vests and Big Glasses...

oh my!



i TOTALLY forgot we used to dress the same for a while...
what on earth is up with our hair? very girl mullet-y... ew.


thanks for the pic, lyd!
love you.

I Love Date Night, part 2.

I'm one lucky biotch! When I came home from work
yesterday, I walked into our house smelling like a
fancy ass Italian place. Craig informed me earlier in
the day of what we'd be having, but he totally went
all out!


With food from our garden, he put together a feast
for his baby! I was one happy baby!



For starters, we had lightly fried squash blossoms
stuffed with goat cheese and roasted garlic... delish.




Next, we had grilled bread with olive oil and roasted garlic -
so damn good - and a caprese salad with basil and tomatoes
from the garden , mozzarella and oil and vinegar.



And for the main course, we had parpadelle pasta
with pancetta, copa, sweet peas and pecorino cheese,
lots of pepper and love. For the side dish, we had
braised squash with bacon, onions, garlic, FIGS, and
ridicchio...oh. my. god. it was fabulous!



I really liked the vegetables... a nice change from
the usual broccoli or green beans we love so much.
I loved the roasted garlic and fig combo on grilled
bread... it was heavenly.

Later, we enjoyed La Bamba for the
1,001th time and yes, we ran our lines with the movie
and cried a little at the end.

After that, we talked and talked and talked, then
played around in our bed - you know what I mean?
After all, it was Date Night!

the Applicators

tonight at the 'Pad if you're into fun, girly punk
rock from some hot Texans.

ps - this is an older album cover, still great though.

Concert Update

One of my favorite musicians, Lucinda Williams will be
here in September! Maybe I'll get some tickets as a
birthday surprise! She'll be at the Lensic in Santa Fe.

I BEG OF YOU - if you get a chance to see this woman,
do it. You will not be sorry.
