just another reason

i have to work all memorial day weekend, not too surprising. on a normal day when i come home and dinner is made, i REJOICE. i LOVE it. it could be hot dogs or a ham sandwich. if i didn't have to make it, it doubles the value of the food. i love cooking, but it can be hard to muster the energy after a long day at work.

yesterday i came home to a "picnic" meal created by sara, accompanied by a frozen margarita. INCREDIBLE. food and ALCOHOL? amazing. she didn't want me to miss out on the holiday that everyone else gets to celebrate for three days.

take a piece of advice from me... it's the smallest things that make the biggest impression.

5 dollar not-so-fun

i am a big ross mathews fan. i read his blog daily whenever possible and one of the things he does with his friend, nikki, is called "5 dollar fun." they shop in a random store and spend five dollars on each other. in a fit of boredom, sara suggests that we try this game. i chose the store...toys'r us.

i don't know if anyone is familiar with the "James Brown" incident circa 2003, but i should NEVER be allowed to choose a gift for Sara without some guidance. needless to say, i don't think sara will give into her boredom in this way again.

sara was pretty successful in her quest for something i would like....



how cool was that stuff? all for under five dollars. well, this is what SHE got...



believe it or not, this gem left me with $1.02 in change left over. i was sadly convinced that she liked spiderman. how can you go wrong with a spiderman potato head?

by buying for sara.

i'll be returning it.

maybe.

moms rule!

i love my mom. i love sara's mom.
i love all my friends who are moms.
here's a tribute to some of the moms i know and their beautiful kids.
thanks for doing one of the hardest jobs on earth.

family, shopping & a grill

sara's mom and sister came to visit this past weekend to do some shopping for us and for the house. it was a fun weekend filled with new clothing for all. i was in desperate of need of clothes that fit. i was out and about with sara and noticed a woman wearing clothing that i may have picked for myself. it became painfully obvious that i need all the fashion guidance these women provide me. if i were left to my own devices, i would be in flannel shirts with batman t-shirts underneath, three sizes too large. good thing that these people love me.

we moved onto the more fun purchase of the day.....a grill. oh yeah. we have propane, houston. the neighborhood better be aware. good, good times. a lawnmower. a grill. a batcave. who knew?



yeah, that's an apron. what up? say something.

pure coolness

thanks maj...for the gift.
thanks sara...for making it.
thanks batman and legos....for pure awesomeness.
