splash of grenadine

SATURDAY: a regular old saturday morning began with yoga with erin. to change it up - breakfast at this little cafe. we actually used to eat there and pick up food from the office we used to work at years and years ago. it was nice to reminisce about carrying a huge box of food across a fairly busy road. erin made me try what she called "the best blueberry muffin in the world". i agreed but i thought how good could it be really? turns out this beast was GRILLED and perfect. it had the right amount of crunch and fluffiness. it really was the best. we ate a lot of food and didn't really care. all while she drooled at some buff police officers at the table across the room. just as we were finishing up she started screaming about JJ Redick. the photo of the day for saturday explains that i had no idea who he was. i was about to ask her if he was a friend of hers or something. nope, he plays basketball for the orlando magic. i don't do basketball. but, i'm not even going to get started on that. she was so hilariously cute about him being there, all i could do was laugh and be excited for her. he ended up sitting by himself, right behind her. she called her sister and whispered in excitement. as we were paying for our meals i kept asking if she wanted me to take a picture of her and him. she said no (even though i'm pretty sure she did). she calmed down and spoke to him like a normal human being. and i secretly took a picture. when we walked outside she freaked out again and then noticed he had parked next to her. she was jumping up and down. she even made me touch her heart to feel how fast it was beating. i guess i might feel the same way if fleury had sat down behind me...

dustin and i didn't really do anything the rest of the day. i decided to run out and get a new nailpolish color. i decided on splash of grenadine by essie. so i turned on my music on my iphone and got to painting. it was just so nice and relaxing. dustin came in as i was putting on the top coat and asked if he could try and paint one. i was a little apprehensive but it was clear so how bad could he mess it up? BAD. he painted so hard that the color came all the way off and i ended up having to re-do it. he's got many great qualities but nail painting doesn't fall in that list.

SUNDAY: we woke up to see an early showing (9:45 AM) of the hunger games with pat and sam (he's already back in town!...). sam and i have read all the books and are pretty big fans. she's probably more of a fan than me because she's read all the books multiple times and she actually enjoyed the third book (i thought it sucked. slow and anti-climactic ending). dustin and pat only knew what they have heard from us. first of all the movie was right on with the book. i thought it was really well done. the cast, the wardrobe, the sets - perfect. the rue death scene had me in all kinds of tears. that was rough. dustin really liked the movie. he did however think the dogs at the end were just stupid, cheesy, & unbelievable which i kind of have to agree with him there. he also couldn't stop mentioning how much he liked jennifer lawrence. actually everyone EXCEPT me thought she was this extraordinarily beautiful girl. obviously she is a pretty girl but she isn't my type if i were into girls. ha! i will say she is growing on me just from her personality alone. i watched a bunch of interviews of her tonight and she seems like such a cool, sarcastic, dorky girl and that is hotter than any kind of physical looks. sam liked it as well but pointed out the little changes from he book that i hadn't even realized. she reminded of me every time i left a harry potter movie detailing every single difference. pat enjoyed it too but was pretty shocked by the storyline. i don't think he was expecting something so serious. can't wait for catching fire in november 2013! woo!

we went to the olive garden for a nice little lunch. chatted more about the movie over some lovely pasta dishes. it was nice seeing the two of them again. i mean yeah sam lives right down the road but we've both have been busy and i didn't expect pat for years (just kidding - kind of - we really like giving him a hard time). we dropped them off at their car in the theater parking lot so they could go about their visit. long distance is hard and i understand feeling like you just haven't gotten enough alone time together. hell, i still feel like that some weekends with dustin.

i ended up taking my weekly sunday afternoon nap which i treasure with all my heart. seriously don't mess with my nap! we were kind of bored after i woke up so dustin downloaded hugo on his xbox. that movie was really good. it was fun to watch - the time period, paris, and the super cool train station were all so neat.

while dustin watched the pens win, i was busy making a collage of all of his ladies. yep, this is what i do in my free time. no regrets. i had brought up that he has such a specific taste in girl. what do we all have in common? (for the record, i think all of the girls below are beautiful and i am certainly not in the same league but there still are similarities)

we all have round faces. we all have big teeth. we all have big chubby cheeks. we all are brunettes. and of course we all have decently sized boobs. he looked at this picture for a solid 5 minutes straight. new desktop background?

and another weekend gone. just like that. thumbs down. tears. temper tantrum. pout.
