Prince Caspian, Valentine’s Day, and new recipe FAIL
Today I had the day off… (happy birthday, Lincoln!) but I carpooled in with my husband to where I used to work, and where he still works. I got my oil changed at our local mechanic, then had lunch with some former coworkers. In between, I read and worked on some crafty stuff. I truly don’t mind just waiting around for a few hours at a time… I’m doing the same thing I would at home, but my husband doesn’t have to drive in alone and my oil got changed! 🙂
Started and finished Prince Caspian by CS Lewis while waiting today, so another one is crossed off my list! So far, I’ve liked Prince Caspian and The Magician’s Nephew better than Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe… Although I LOVE the Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe movie, and thought the Prince Caspian movie was just okay. (Plot of the movie – very different of the book, in case you were unaware like I was.)
And now it’s Valentine’s Day… and we’re doing our favorite things to celebrate. 🙂 Since we were in college, we’ve gone to Chipotle for dinner on Valentine’s Day. We’re not big on paying a lot of money, or waiting forever for a table. So we save special dinners for other days, and on February 14th we have Chipotle and watch a movie together. Tonight was Wall-E, a Valentine’s gift from my husband a few years ago. I think it’s one of the best love stories ever! Then a gym date in a little bit, then relax at home with Chuck and House.
Totally failing at cooking one new recipe a week. We’ve been sharing one car for the last two-ish months (long story) and that means we get home late and end up eating out or eating our standard meals. Eh. We’ll try again next week.
What are your Valentine’s Day plans? Any other Chipotle fans out there? And Narnia fans – what’s your favorite book in the series??
2011… here we go
Eh, so I never finished the December Photo Project… life gets busy, you know? I like the idea, though, and may do something similar more often – post a picture of something in my daily life. Now that I’m student teaching (as of tomorrow!! yay!!) I think I’ll have something more interesting to show than my computer and data entry from my last job. 🙂
Christmas has come and gone… my favorite holiday! But fortunately summer is my favorite season, and summer weather starts early here in Los Angeles. So every six months, I am ecstatically happy, so it’s all good. 🙂 We spent Christmas in Sacramento with my side of the family, and New Years here in LA with my husband’s family. Now we’re back in our apartment, and trying to get everything cleaned and ready to go for the new year.
Any bloggers out there use a flip video camera often? I don’t think I’ve seen posts from flips very often… We got one from my in-laws for Christmas, and I am so excited to use it… I just don’t know what to film!

My grandparents drove out from Tucson this weekend, to spend time with my mom, my husband, and me. They brought our Christmas presents and we had a little exchange early, since we won’t see them until sometime next year. My grandma made this little gingerbread girl on her embroidery sewing machine! It does everything for her, even stitches the two halves together, and she just has to stuff it! We got a little gingerbread guy too. 🙂

Why am I showing you an empty room? Well, that’s our normally cluttered office, which I just cleaned out, and as of this time tomorrow night, my mom’s air mattress will be set up right there!!
Since we have a relatively small apartment compared to the size of our families, even my husband’s family doesn’t come over much. They live 45 minutes away, and they’ve come over two or three times in the year we’ve lived here. My family lives 6 hours away, and they came to our old apartment twice in a year and a half. They’ve never seen our new apartment and we’ve been here over a year! So… I am ecstatic. My grandparents are driving in from Tucson, and I can’t wait to show them our life here in LA… and there’s some good crafting time planned, so I think my photos for this weekend will be pretty good. 🙂
