Because I'm Crazy

So, It's been awhile since last posting. I'll start with the weekend.

Friday: I was very happy to hear that Mari was coming up Friday. I bought red wine (the one I call the keyboard cat one because it has a picture of a cat and a keyboard) and popped it open for a much needed drink after work. Mari Mac and I went to Old Europe, and loved it from the very beginning. When you step in, you hear old time European music and the decor was awesome. Old pics and old kitchen gadgets. The food was good, I got the Jaeger Schnitzel and potatoes. Exactly what I was craving. We hit up Snook's Chocolates (the crack house for chocolate) and got a milkshake.

Saturday: Mac and I had an apt. with the caterer. Had awesome food and got leftovers. Was happy they are taking care of the dinnerware, bartender, and linens. Phew, I thought I had to do that stuff. I love these people. Mac went to a friends birthday party and I went shopping with Mari in Roseville. I got a text reminding me about dinner and I freaked out because I was late. Woops. Got what I needed to get done and went to Sac for an awesome dinner for a friend's bacholorette party. Went to the Mix afterward to drink and dance. Got home at 3 and Mari was still up.

Sunday: The cat dragged in Mac and he went to bed. I went to my book club meetup, movie and lunch. Was good, saw Something Borrowed. The book is always better. Had a good time talking. Got back and Mac was up. Poor Mac said he woke up and everyone was gone. Mari had left after I did. Enjoyed some leftovers.

Monday: work, then made myself workout because I am so fat.

Tues: same as above.

Today: Need to get some random things for LA trip and pack.

The title to this post is due to this: at my lunch with book club people, we talked about how diet soda is really bad for you. After that, I just decided to stop drinking it at work, since I drink a lot. I did this non-caffeine thing cold turkey. I am on day 3. Not horrible. Thought it would be way worse. Just earaches. And tired. But I am glad to do this.

Ok, My turn to post

Yes, saw Thor with Mackenzie. It was actually pretty good. Before that, we went to Felipe's and it was really good, except the chips and salsa was not up to my standards. Not salty enough and a weird texture of the chips. Salsa was kinda bland to me. The tacos were excellent. The best tacos I've had at a Mexican restaurant (not including fast food tacos because those are the best).

I'm loving Wendy. She warms my butt (since it's been cold recently) and I love the rubber mats since I don't feel bad about putting wet shoes and stuff on the floor.

This weekend is apt. with caterer. woo!

I'm really hungry. And it's sleepy time.

Momo was extra cute this morning, lying on his back, stomach exposed and a cute expression. He's actually acting more like an adult cat, not as crazy, which is nice.

Cinco de Cuatro

Yesterday was "Cinco de Cuatro" since our lovely friend in law school accidentally said that instead of Cuatro de Mayo. So, the name stuck. We celebrated Cinco de Mayo early with the law school peeps. We went to Plainfield station and had one dollar tacos. I bought us leis and mini sombreros for a goofy picture. Good times. Everyone checked my new car. It was awesome.

Geico

Mackenzie and I chose Geico for our car insurance. I have to say, I love the commercials. This is my favorite. I gotta say I hated it at first, but then I saw it while I was tired and I couldn't stop laughing.

Little Piggy

Nice and warm here. I love driving my new car :) I hooked up my ipod nano and got new music. I listened to the other music I had too much. It always makes the drive easier.

I have to go get my mom a present after work. I try to limit how many things I do after work like errands to one or two places since I'm so tired at that time. Even on weekends 4-5 is my nap time.

Wendy, our new addition to the family

Mac and I bought a new car and we named her Wendy. She is a red Subaru Impreza Outback Sport 5 door car of awesome. We went to the Roseville Automall on Saturday and I got to test drive the car. We knew what we were looking for and it was a pretty easy decision. I am very happy. It's also a four wheel drive so that we can take her up to Tahoe without worries. She has 170 horse power or whatever you call it. I need to take pics of Wendy, but here is a link to what she looks like: Car

The picture does no justice of her. I think the red color is really nice with the silver accent color. The inside has a Tom Tom navigation system and heated front seats! Lots of room too. I am very happy.

That was the big thing this weekend and I was glad to have Sunday to clean and relax and look at the owner's manual with Mac to figure out the controls and everything.
