WEEKEND RUNDOWN

I had a very good football filled weekend!

Friday
G & I had dinner at Barney's LTD. in Old Town. I had been craving a really good cheeseburger and ended up ordering the Samuel Adams battered Halibut & Jumbo Shrimp. Not sure how that happened. But it was so good! I think the last time I had fish & chips was over 2 yrs ago. After dinner we headed over to my job to do the end of month closing. We then headed home to watch a movie and call it an night.

Saturday
We got up early to get the apartment all cleaned up since we had some friends coming over for the big UCLA vs USC football game. People started showing up just before 1pm. We had about 9 people over. Out of those 9 there was 1 USC fan. Adee is not really a fan....she just goes to the school. It was a sad game. It wasn't even fun to watch. It hurt to see UCLA go down so bad.

After the game we headed to my parent's house for dinner. My cousin Chris came over with the new game "Rock Band." This game is so much fun! I actually played guitar and bass! But since the boys are the instrument players they made me sing the entire time. That shit was hard! But I did pretty good. I actually got 100% in vocals in one of the song [Yeah Yeah Yeahs - "Maps"]. I was amazed how you could actually learn to play an instrument with this game. If you play it enough. Especially the drums.
Sunday
Was spent just like any other sunday. G worked and I stayed home and lounged all day watching football. Later we ordered Chinese to watch the evening game. Very uneventful. Except I did stay up an watch Desperate Housewives and was PO'd when they didn't show who died at the end. Sure you can totally guess, but why couldn't they just tell us?!?!? Who knows when this show will be back! Argh! 1 entire hour of my life I will never get back....almost as bad as that hour during The Bachelor Finale. Disappointment.


I also wanted to take a moment and share just how amazing G's pesto is. He made it on Thursday and it was so good I could have ate the entire pack of pasta. I also made a Caprese salad that was deelish! I love G's pesto because it isn't nutty. I hate it when the pine nuts are whole or the sauce is chunky. G knows this and made sure it wasn't nutty. It was so perfect! Yum! I want more of this for dinner tonight! Thanks babe!

And here's a couple pictures of our wedding cake. I know a few of you had been wondering how it was. It looked pretty good considering.

Heroes Season Finale tonight! Boo that it's ending so soon. :(

WEEKEND RUNDOWN [and some]

Sitting here at work, and then I realized I was 3 episodes behind on "The Hills." So here I am...catching up....watching them online. And yes, "The Hills" is my guilty pleasure. I love everything it doesn't add to my life.

In other news, my weekend was good. Friday consisted of a BBQ at my FIL's house with some awesome homemade tortillas. I totally stuffed my face. It was heaven. We then headed back to our place where we had some people over for an evening of Hookah. Good times as always.

Saturday I finally got up in cleaning mode, unfortunately, as I was finishing up the bathtub I realized it was broken. The water was not draining....turns out the plug was broken and wouldn't unplug. Of course our apartment owners are too cheap to pay for a plummer on the weekend. So no showers for us...at least not at our place. Ended heading to my moms to get ready for a couple of birthday parties we had to attend later that night. [Plummer showed up today....TUESDAY!! Can you believe that bullshit???] Saturday night was fun. B-day dinner at Wokcano for my cousin Cat [everyone must try the Geisha cocktail. So freakin' good!], followed by a b-day party for my cousin Cesar. Good times.

Sunday was a totally lazy "do nothing but lounge on the couch and watch football followed by a 'Felicity' dvd marathon" day. Yup...that sums up my day.

Alright...one more Hills episode to go!

Side Note - You all know how much I love Kanye West. My heart totally goes out to him. Losing someone so special is hard enough, but then it also being so close to the holidays....can't even try to imagine.

**Now that I'm done....totally feeling like this post has no depth. Maybe next time.

WEEKEND RUNDOWN

I don't have much to say for the rundown since we basically just stayed in and did nothing. But, inquiring minds do want to know - what did geefunk wear to the book release party?!?!?!?

Not to disappoint, but I did not dress like a sexy librarian. I wore a short-sleeved black turtle neck, jeans, and black heels. I actually realized later that my outfit was almost identical to my e-pics outfit. I just wore fancier jeans for the e-pics. I hadn't worn that outfit since then. The only reason I wore it Friday night was because it was the only thing i felt comfortable in [bad comfort day].

I will say, however, that fellow blogger Darlene is so right in saying that women remember what they wore during specific [mostly important] moments in their lives. To answer her question - I do not remember what I was wearing when I met my hubby. We were in high school....and we met way before we started dating....before I cared about what he cared about. But I do remember what he was wearing when we first kissed! Random right? I remember some blue and white squared button-down shirt, layered over a white thermal. It was cold out. Do I remember what I was wearing? Heck no. I do, however, remember what I was wearing when he proposed. I specifically remember because as it happened I realized I did not like what I was wearing enough to pose for a picture. Can you believe that nonsense!?!?!? Wtf was wrong with me?!?! I swear I care that much about my wardrobe. He caught me so off guard. I was in a state of shock....i blame that....my brain wasn't functioning properly.

Below you can see my outfit for our e-pics and our one crappy engagement night picture [captioned by my friend Claudia who was there that night in NYC on the Empire State Building].

The rest of our weekend was super boring [for you the reader ;o)]. We stayed in Saturday night and got pretty tipsy and played Fushion Frenzy 2 on Xbox 360. The funnest game to play drunk.


Sunday we stayed in and watched football all day. It was actually nice, because our weekends tend to be jammed packed.

Tonight we have an all new Heroes [hopefully they finish out the season even thought writers are on strike!]. I think our usual Heroes posse will be coming over early to check out Fusion Frenzy 2. Good times.

WEEKEND RUNDOWN

Happy Monday! It's so cool and gloomy outside today....i love it!

I had a lovely weekend. It didn't start out so promising, but it all turned around by Saturday evening.

FRIDAY
My sister came over to help me finish the 15ñera invites I was working on for my sister-in-law. My sister took off around midnight and I carried on until about 1am. I finally finished and passed out at about 1:30am. Stupid me forgot to take picks of my hard work. I guess I'll have to wait till we get our invite in the mail. I'll post picks then.

SATURDAY
I made it out of bed around 9:30am, showered and headed out to drop off the invites. I then went home to clean up the mess from the night before. Paper and ribbon bits were scattered all over our carpet. The hubs took off to work around 1:45pm. His first time closing in a long time. That left me with a lonely unplanned evening. I don't know why I didnt make plans knowing he'd be gone. Around 4:30pm I finally texted my brother to see what he was up to and we [including my cousin chris] ended up going to the movies to see "Across the Universe."

This film was sooooo good! I loved every minute of it. I want to see it over and over. The way the Beatles songs were so masterfully worked into the script was genius. 18 Beatles songs are featured in the film [so yes...this is a musical]. The 1960's anti-war, love, sex, and rock & roll backdrop made each song shine. I can't wait for this DVD.

After the film, we were all feeling in need a some serous smoking and meditation with more Beatles music. My brother headed home to pick up his hookah and then came over with a few other peeps. Great times were had with lots of smoking and drinking. I think I literally passed out at 2:30am. I couldn't stay awake any longer. The hubs didn't even make it to bed till 4am!!

SUNDAY
G had the day off so we decided to just stay in and lounge all day. We hadn't done that since we first got married [like it was that long ago]. So we stayed i n bed all day and watched football, read, ate, napped, etc. Good times. :-p

Also, I've learned my cousin Christy had baby, Noah, on Sunday afternoon. She had a really long and hard labor, but baby and mom are doing very well. Say hi to the newest member of the Gonzalez Clan! Congrats Christy & Jeremy!
