10 on Tuesday

1. If ever you see me with a Coke in front of me, please take it away. It’s time to kick that habit for real.

2. We’ve been good about eating lots of veggies lately (and Pete’s been eating lots of fruit – I’m not quite as good about that). I stopped at the farmers market on the way home from work and bought a few things – corn, green peppers, and these pretty yellow pear tomatoes. They’re tasty! I realized on the way home that I should have bought more – butternut squash, green beans, apples, carrots…will make a list for Thursday so I don’t forget!

3. I did yoga yesterday for the first time in a loooooong time. It felt really good. It happens to be Yoga Month, as well, so I guess it’s as good a time as any to get back into the habit! Did I mention that it felt really good. I mean REALLY good.

4. Have I mentioned already that we’ve been watching Lost? We’re on Season 3 now, and I hate every night when it’s bed time and I have to stop watching. I’m sure that when we get through Season 5 and I have to wait for the new season next spring I’m going to be very unhappy about it.

5. Last night I accidentally tore a hole in my oldest, favoritest pair of pajama pants. They are blue with yellow duckies on them, and I have found very few pairs of pajama pants since that fit me as well (except one pair of green flannel ones with tigers on them). This hole makes me very sad, but I haven’t given up on my ducky pants yet!

6. We’ve gone from a week straight of hot, humid, summer to straight up fall weather. I was so cold this morning that I almost got a sweatshirt out of the closet! I’m usually a fan of fall, but I feel really cheated out of summer this year…and I’m hoping it will make a bit of a come back before fall sets in for good.

7. Last Saturday Leyre and I went to see Blink 182 and Weezer. Weezer was awesome, and I think we’re both pretty bummed that we were late and missed half of their set. Blink was not so great, and just after Leyre and I were talking about how they weren’t hitting notes and how Mark Hoppus sounded like he had obviously sang a show the night before and his voice was showing it….well, that’s when he started talking about the death of Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM. And then started crying. I guess I can’t blame them for not sounding so great, given that their good friend had died the night before and apparently they’d been doing a lot of crying.

8. Exactly how wrong is it that I still feel like we kind of got cheated out of a good show? I mean, I can’t help but wonder what the show would have been like if they hadn’t been struggling to get through it, you know?

9. The show did make me dig up a lot of music that I haven’t listened to in a long time, and some that I hadn’t listened to at all. That meant lots of new (or new to my iPod) music to listen to at work today. This song made me very happy. For the record, that is not the official video, I don’t think that there is one, but I do heart stick figures. Sorry for the random Fall Out Boy at the end there.

10. Confession: sometimes, I wish Ice Creamsmith delivered. Because sometimes walking across the street is just too far.

*Eek! Sorry, I thought I set this up to post after I went to bed last night and apparently I’m not that good with blogger….

16 oz

I keep discovering new 16 oz containers of Coke – which is nice because sometimes 12 oz is too little and 20 oz is too much…but 16 oz is juuuuuuust right.

Right until I decided I’m giving up Coke.

His & Hers

I actually didn’t buy this wine because of the label – but it was certainly a bonus when I did buy it!

10 on Tuesday

Where to begin….since Pete just fired up the 360 for some Netflix viewing, let’s start there. Pete and I recently added Dhani Tackles the Globe to our instant queue and have been watching it more or less non stop since then (we’re about to finish the first season and have to wait a year for the 2nd – boooooo). Yeah, I’ve got a crush on him. Not even a crush really, I just want to be his best friend and travel the world with him. I’ll let him do the “tackling” of new sports. This minor obsession has only been furthered by the fact that a friend of of a friend was hit on and taken out to dinner by Dhani around Christmas and is going on her first official date with him soon…I want her to date him, and then I want to weasel my way into his life and be his best friend. This could TOTALLY WORK. Right?
Speaking of Netflix on the 360, we just downloaded the updates so that we can now browse Netflix and select movies directly from the XBox (previously we could only access what we’d already placed in our instant queue). Could my life possibly get lazier? And awesomer? Seriously, we love streaming Netflix. It has completely ruined us for watching live TV and having to sit through commercials.
Those apples up there, in case you’re wondering, are the ones I bought from the fruit guy outside South Station this morning. You get 3 pieces of fruit for $1.25, and I stop and get fruit every once in a while when I’m trying to be healthy. Sometimes it works!
I had a really, really awesome weekend last weekend. It was my first since early March that I didn’t have to do a training walk! I guess officially last last weekend was the first I didn’t have to walk, but I had about 14 hours of driving and two weddings that weekend so I don’t think that counts.
We kicked off the weekend by heading to Tavolo Friday night to hang out at the bar, eat delicious dinner (CANNOT go wrong with the spaghetti alla vodka), and watch the Red Sox game. It was nice to relax with good food and good wine (and good people watching, since the Sox watching wasn’t so hot), and Pete isn’t a big fan of their menu so I was pretty excited when he asked if I wanted to go there for dinner.
On Saturday, we headed to Boston Common – with our brand new $10 camp chairs, snacks, and a Sigg bottle full of wine – to see Shakespeare on the Common. This year is The Comedy of Errors, and it was quite entertaining. Totally worth the (free) price of admission!
Sunday night we took our camp chairs out again (gotta get our money’s worth!) and went to see Boston Landmarks Orchestra at the park up the street. This was not quite as entertaining, but it was still fun and nice to get out. Plus, we were home in time for Pete to catch the kickoff of the first football game of the season (Which he watched about 20 minutes of, because really? Who cares about the Hall of Fame game? I think he was just excited to see football on TV).
Barley has been very snuggly with me lately. This is very uncharacteristic of him, he usually prefers to snuggle Pete, but both today and yesterday he jumped into Pete’s lap and walked right across it to settle into mine! I’ll take it, even if it means I end up covered in a layer of fur when he gets up. We may need to invest in a furminator.
I still haven’t unpacked from WI. Is that a problem? I mean, most of the stuff has found it’s way out of the bag…but the bag is still sitting there on the floor of the bedroom with half a dozen things still in it…
And now it’s bed time!
