Bottles to the ground.

I got to go cupcake tasting with Brett & Adam today.  They are getting married in September and I got to go taste different yummy cake flavors.  Cakes for breakfast!
Plus, I got to use my new Brooklyn wine bottle bag after my trip to the liquor store today.  Thanks M&JY!

Mega Millions

I met some friends out for happy hour tonight at Ale Mary's.  I had 3 Chimays and when we got up to leave I went out the back door and fell down the stairs.  Didn't see that second step there... shitiot.  Of course everyone and their mom saw me fall.  Wonderful.  Now I have a giant raspberry on my knee.
I got a letter today from the University of Hawai'i Athletics Alumni Association asking me to join their Letterwinners Club.  I wonder if they realize that I never ended up playing waterpolo for the University of Hawai'i...
We had dinner tonight at BangBang.  It's a mongolian bbq place and it felt kinda sloppy.
I've got dibs on 5 lotto tickets.  I'm ready to win Mega Millions.

Call On Me

I went to the gym tonight after work.  When I went to put on my shoes, I noticed that I had a little bit of sloppy joe sauce dried on my gym pants.  [Guess what I had for dinner on Tuesday night.]  Honestly, I have no business going to the gym.

May the odds be ever in your favor...

I painted my nails blue in the hopes that the warm spring weather would return.  I think it worked.  When I got out of work today is was 20 degrees warmer than when I went in.
We went and saw The Hunger Games tonight, but first we had to hit up happy hour at James Joyce.  The movie was entertaining but the books are always so much better.  I wish I had cool skills - bow skills, knife skills, tree climbing skills - skills you would need in order to survive in a hologram forest.

Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in...

We spent the weekend in NYC visiting Melanie and Jean-Yves. Being in New York makes me realize that how much I want to live there. All the other things I feel conflicted about, when I think about moving there, just go away. I love it. We ate tacos, ate bagels, went shopping in Cobble Hill, discussed M&JY's wedding invitations, drank a Sour Cherry Imperial Stout, shopped for Brownstones, hung out at Derek and Dinah's going away party, drank French espresso, shopped in SOHO, drank Swiss Bloody Marys and ate Swiss Eggs over easy.

Grapefruit Crush Withdrawals

I have Jury Duty tomorrow.

I hadn't had papaya in a while and forgot how good it is.

Luke warm ramen noodle is not good.

It was nicer weather today in Baltimore than in LA.

I painted my nails grey and then added sparkles to my ring finger nails.

Grapefruit Crush Withdrawals.

Feeling Green

Derek got his green card!! It feels so good to have it, even though we don't know what we want to do with it yet. It's a temporary green card that is good for 2 years, and then, if we're still married, he resubmits for a permanent green card. Our lives together so far, and most of the major decisions we've made, have always been about his work visa. All of our plans for the future have ended with getting a green card. Now I'm feeling a weird rush to plan out the next 30 years of our lives. Where do we want to live? Where do we want to work? When do we want to have kids? When do we want to plan on buying a house? How are we going to save money to buy a house one day? I feel like I'm freaking out a little bit.

So anyway, we had a really fun St. Patrick's Day. We had a fun (girls only) brunch for our friend Ashley's birthday. Then we hung out in the alley and played games and watched March Madness. Then we went and drank Grapefruit Crushes and partied at the Girl Talk show where we saw a man in a praying mantis suit crowd surfing. Then we walked home and accidentally ate midnight breakfast at Blue Moon. They have delicious hashbrowns. Then we passed out on the couch and I accidentally spilt the social water I was holding.

Sweet Cheeks

We have a poltergeist living in our microwave. The light turns off and on all on its own. Plus none of the buttons are working.

As of last Friday, Derek and I have been married for 6 months. We also found out that the first half of our greencard application has been approved! That means that the US Government thinks we have a legitimate marriage. So, we basically got the greencard we just haven't gotten it yet, get it?

Red Line Now

We had our fundraiser for the Red Line Now last night. It went really well and we had a pretty good turn out. Yay!

Di-eye-monds

Derek and I are in direct competition to come up with a cool graphic to paint on the wall behind the TV. I lost. But I still like mine better.

Morning Edition

"Don't complain about our coffee, someday you'll be old and weak too."

We woke up late this morning and walked up to Patterson Park and the neighborhood just north of the park. We stumbled upon this breakfast place called Morning Edition. It's a small and kinda weird place that looks like it's been there for 100 years, but there was a wait to sit down, so we thought we'd give it a try. The service was mediocre but the food was pretty good. And my veggie omelet came with a nice selection of fruit and even a York peppermint patty.

Mixed Berry Pie

This morning at the gym, there was this little old Asian lady who was wearing jeans and a leopard print blouse marching slowly on the treadmill.

This afternoon was sunny and so we went to Dangerously Delicious and ate punk rock hipster pies. Mmmmm.
