Thursday, May 15, 2008 There is a freaking heat wave here in the Bay Area. The one day I would have preferred to stay in my nice air-conditioned office, I had to run out and do errands at the post office. UGH. It was about 90 degrees in the city today. It's almost midnight now and it is STILL sweltering. YUCK. I just realized that I forgot to mention a couple of recent milestones... On April 12th, Rob and I celebrated our 9th anniversary. Can you believe he's put up with me for that long? :D And then this past Monday, on May 12th, we celebrated our "engagement-versary." (I don't know what else to call it!) :D Time has flown by so quickly. It seriously feels like I just got engaged yesterday. And now there's only 86 days until the wedding. (!!!) I feel really lucky that I have Rob in my life. He understands and loves me despite all my faults (see below entry for evidence). We share the same hopes for the future. We have interests that overlap (TV!) but we have our own things as well. But best of all, Rob can look at me and smile and I can still feel the butterflies. (Points for you if you get the reference :P). < / end sappiness> So. Iron Man was AWESOME. I totally want to go see it again (possible spoilers)... Posted by Kel at 11:56 PM | Comments (2) Tuesday, May 13, 2008 Had a very "meh" weekend. Saturday was all screwy. Here's the short version of the story... Had plans to see Ironman with friends. Yeah. I'm not kidding. Not my finest hour. Clearly I have issues... Issue #1 Issue #2 This is obviously bothering me because I'm sitting here at work thinking about it. But I'm not sure what I can do other than acknowledge it and try to be better when another situation arises... GUH. ANYWAY. We did finally go and see Ironman but I'll have to blog about that next time... gotta do some work now. Posted by Kel at 10:29 AM | Comments (5) Tuesday, May 06, 2008 I knew I would fail at the Week in the Life meme... and only after 4 days! I've actually had a lot of fun doing it but yesterday and today were such snoozefests. I'm at work all day and there's really nothing of interest to photograph during most of my waking hours (I haven't even gone out to lunch so far this week). Since I've already broken the rules by commenting on the photos, I'm going to see how the next few days go and attempt to get to 7 days anyway... :D I do have to share 1 photo from today, though -- Diesel's cousin Smush is staying with us through the weekend because Rob's brother and sister-in-law are on a trip to the East Coast. He came over tonight. Look at the cousins! 
Posted by Kel at 10:38 PM | Comments (1) Monday, May 05, 2008 Ugh, my allergies were acting up last night so I didn't feel like blogging my pictures. So now I'm a day behind. Oops. :P *These are pictures from Sunday. 
11:05 am - Sunday Brunch One of our favorite things to do on the weekends is to go over to 4th Street in Berkeley. We decided to go earlier in the day and start off with a yummy breakfast at Tacubaya. Chilaquiles for me and Chorizo and eggs for Rob. 
11:28 am - Scrap Happy After breakfast we went over to the best scrapbook store EVER -- Scrapbook Territory. You'll see why in the next picture. 
11:37 am - Diesel's Scrappy Friends Diesel has friends! The owner, Diane, has 2 dogs that hang out at the store -- Wilbur is the huge golden retriever (I think) and Dolce is the chihuahua. They like to say Hi to him when he comes in. :D Posted by Kel at 10:42 PM | Comments (2) Saturday, May 03, 2008 Happy National Scrapbooking Day! :D I haven't scrapped in forever. I just haven't really thought about it in awhile. :( Anyway, the photo meme continued... Note: I am by no means a photographer so please excuse the amateur pics. :D You can click each image for bigger! I actually started my day at about 10:30 am when I went to the gym across the street. I brought the camera with me so I could take a picture during my walk over. As soon as I turned on the camera, though, I realized that I left the memory card at home. Doh! That's why the pictures start so late in the day. 
01:29 pm - Walking to Subway Rob and I wanted Subway for lunch and since it's just a short walk away, we decided to take the little munchkin along with us. 
04:24 pm - One Dollar Churro We had to go to Costco to pick up some odds and ends and of course, I could not leave without a ONE DOLLAR CHURRO. Yummy. It was really windy and I wasn't wearing any makeup so please excuse my crazy face. :D 
04:50 pm - The Search Continues I am still looking for yoga socks so we headed over to Sports Authority to see if they carry them. Nope. Rob did browse around the shoe section so the trip wasn't a complete waste. Posted by Kel at 11:40 PM | Comments (2) Friday, May 02, 2008 Ugh, I totally forgot to Tivo yesterday's Oprah show with the Sex and the City girls. Massive FAIL to me. :( Hopefully I can find it on YouTube. Anyway, this meme is turning out to be so much fun! You can click each image for bigger! 
07:17 am - Diesel in the Morning Diesel and I wake up at the same time in the mornings. He likes to follow me around as I get ready for my day. 
07:27 am - Diesel Loves to Eat One of the first things I do in the morning is feed the little guy. He scarfs his food down right away. 
09:17 am - Friday Means Starbucks I've been really good lately at limiting my trips to Starbucks to Fridays only. I save a little money and it makes me look forward to Fridays more than I already do. Posted by Kel at 11:23 PM | Comments (2) Thursday, May 01, 2008 I did it! I carried the camera around with me today so here goes... Oh, and I know I'm totally breaking the rules but I want to elaborate on these pics. I'm such a rule-breaker! 
09:16 am - Morning Coffee! I only have "real" coffee once a week and I always get it from McDonald's. I get a lot of grief from my co-workers. Hey, I like it! Anyway, this is the left side of my desk at work -- you can see the framed photo of Rob and me from college, my rolodex, and my iPod speakers. 
01:13 pm - Weekly Farmers Market at Crocker Galleria I bought some big and juicy strawberries! 
01:28 pm - Lunch at My Desk (As Per Usual) Lunch was a yummy yummy Chicken Tandoori Wrap from Chaat Cafe and a generic coke from our community kitchen. Posted by Kel at 10:51 PM | Comments (3) Wednesday, April 30, 2008 I found this on Christie's LJ... I think I want to try it. :D Aim of the Game: For one week, you are to post photographs taken during the day. Rules: You must post these rules at your first entry, then link back to it for the other six days so that people will know wtf you're doing. Your post must say "A Week in the Life of [your name/username], Volume [whatever day you're on]." I have a feeling I will fail at this and post pictures days after I took them... but let's not think about that. First, let's see if I can remember to bring the camera with me to work tomorrow. :D Posted by Kel at 10:32 PM | Comments (1) Tuesday, April 29, 2008 So Rob and I decided to take dance lessons. HEE. We thought it would make us a little more comfortable during our first dance at the wedding. :) Our initial consultation was this past Saturday. Our instructors, Karen and Michael were recommended to us by our recently married friends Jimmy and Eleen. They were awesome! We shared our first dance music with them (should I reveal what it is? :D), they made suggestions about the dance style they recommend (rumba), and then they taught us a few basic steps, turns, and transitions. It was a lot of fun! But hard work -- there's so much more to think about when you're dancing with a partner. Rob was totally sweating after the hour was up. Hehe. When we got home that night, we tried to practice in our itty bitty living room and found that we had already forgotten most of what we learned. OOPS. Our first official lesson is in a few weeks -- let's hope we pay better attention. Or we might end up looking like crazies in front of all our family and friends! :P Posted by Kel at 09:18 PM | Comments (3) Saturday, April 26, 2008 Rob, some friends, and I went to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night. I know the genre of "Apatow-ian" comedy isn't everyone's cup of tea but I found this movie to be HILARIOUS. It's still crude like the others (less than Superbad, though) but it's also really charming and sweet. Peter (Jason Segel) was totally endearing. Sarah and Rachel (Kristen Bell and Mila Kunis, respectively) were, surprisingly, not one-note characters. But Aldous (the "other guy" played by Russell Brand) was, by far, the complete stand-out. OMG. He was awesome. I loved the pop culture references, like... Crime Scene: Scene of the Crime (BWAH!) and "You shall not pass!" (Lord of the Rings). Hee. And, of course, Paul Rudd has a small role in the movie and as always, he rocks. "The weather outside is... weather." Seriously, just go see it! :) And a TV meme stolen from Ceci... 1. Bold the shows you've watched every episode of 50. Quantum Leap Posted by Kel at 11:45 PM | Comments (3) |
