How was your weekend, baby?

Search Winner: Google: why do men use the phrase baby when they talk to a women?
My Answer: Because if you respond to it once, they never have to learn your real name. Smart idea if you ask me!
It's been a terrific weekend, we had great weather so I got some sunburn practice. Spent a day at the farm, ate crazy-delicious buttermilk pancakes, got into some Rockband and beers.. even did a little kiddo shopping (my favourite).
Had some before weekend fun too when Brooke came over, bearing gifts and a bartender hat, and invented a new martini! I can't tell you the secret recipe but it was so damn good it needed to have the name "the EASYtini" .. too easy to drink, and we did.
I had a new revelation by the way, which is if I keep being Pizza Depot's #1 fan I'm not only going to keep this new 5lbs, but I'm single handedly helping the owner remodel his house. He just got these fancy-ass new doors on his half a million dollar digs and here I am promoting the hell out of it for nothing, not even a free pizza a month! How do I know this? Because he's my neighbor and as per my pictorial Flickr evidence, when you drive a car with a giant pizza on it everyone knows where you are at all times. He also just bought one of those KFC-style fans whose only job is just to blow food smells all over the neighborhood. I swear to god it wasn't there before. What's worse is they just started making these new deep-fried brownies too and it's taking all my willpower not to hire a sky writer to let everyone know about it!

My friends, I am in mattress heaven. Man does it feel good. In 3 days I will be in Birthday Hell purgatory, as Amber commented, Babyface is getting old. And in one week I will be in vision heaven, because I am finally getting new glasses. I've put it off for some time (wtf 3 years) for absolutely no reason, and my eyes have worsened to the point I could barely read the chart WITH them on. Apparently at my age your vision slows down on what I like to call self-retardation.. and levels out to whatever level of suck you are currently at. I am stoked since that sort of thing is important to me. Every time I get my prescription updated it's almost comparable to how a person with no legs feels when they go from a standard wheelchair to one that is motorized. Every. Damn. Time.
I have been watching movies basically every night and felt like maybe I should post the most enjoyable, perhaps to inspire you to have a great night in.. or out. Last night I have to say, was my favourite movie+soundtrack combo.
Juno.
The rest are:
4. Hitman
3. 310 to Yuma
2. Walk Hard
1. No Country for Old Men
As for the comment from Benjamin (coincidentally also my new neighbor, how crazy is that) upon further speculation (aka walking into my garage filled with boxes) I have to admit that I own a semi-habit/compulsion called Pizza Depot. It's at the end of the street and I'm sure if you have tried it you and I will share this habit with me very soon. All the delivery guys know me on sight and that is SAD. Really really very depressing.... like Norm from Cheers who had his own stool in the bar and dug a permanent ass print into it. Whatever you do though, Benjamin, don't try the orange dipping sauce. I don't wish the "cheesy jalapeno" compulsion/habit on anyone. It is too powerful. Take it from someone who was never convinced to need dipping sauces to enjoy my pizza. Now I basically eat more pizza just to get to the crust so I can have more evil cheesy jalapeno flavour. So thanks, yes, I have a (bad) habit perhaps... not exactly what I had in mind when I said I wanted a habit. I suppose I will keep looking. And also thanks Pizza Depot, for the extra 5 lbs. I have enjoyed every single one of them.
