friday was a typical day at work. one of those days when you have plenty of projects but no motivation because you are just watching the clock waiting for the end of the work week. had a nice little treat when i got home from work in my mail box from amazon.com. book 8 of the sookie stackhouse* books. which i finished in the few hours while waiting for lincoln to come home.
*sookie stackhouse books are like a cross between the twilight series and anne rice novels. not so campy and teenaged like twilight but definitely not as "deep" as anne rice. silly easy reads that are a nice brain vacation from jane austen. there are 8 out right now, 9 comes out this week and i even put in the pre-order through amazon. there is even an hbo show called "true blood" which is based of the characters and the reason i picked up the first one.
saturday morning lincoln and i got up bright and early so we could head over to harkins on power to see the new wolverine movie. my pops and younger siblings were meeting us there. it was the first showing of the day and we got there before the theater even opened. but we weren't the only ones. not only was there plenty of people waiting, we ran into my nino john and part of his family.
the movie was excellent. lincoln liked it more than the x-men trilogy. marvel comics aren't his thing - he prefers dc (batman, superman)- but i grew up watching the x-men cartoons and was pleased with the movie. tip for those planning on seeing it: stay after the credits. not only is it fun to see the silly job titles of people working for the studio (best boy, lead grip, head greens, etc) but there are supposedly two different bonus endings.
after the movie we stopped by superstition mall for a few things and wandered around the place. i haven't been there in awhile and it was quite a change. they've done some remodeling and it looks a million times better.
then naptime. saturday afternoon naps are required in our household.
around 4 or so we headed into mesa for one of my high school friends wedding. it was at the wright house and was absolutely beautiful. karen looked amazing and so did her bridesmaids (more high school friends). i finally got to wear my new ridiculously tall shoes lincoln picked out for my birthday. they are purple snake/crocodile (fake) skin heels and they are gorgeous. nice cheap, correction, inexpensive black dress from kohl's with a coordinated purple stone necklace and i was all set. lincoln wore a beige dress shirt from our hawaii trip with dark khaki pants with his own personalized touch.
we left around 9:30 (party was scheduled to go until at least 11:30) and met up with susan and larry and lindsay for some birthday pazookie at oregano's. pazookies are good but i think they are better in theory. i probably only had 3 bites and that was more than enough. super sweet.
around 11 or so, lincoln and i crawled into bed with the pups. rare treat for them. most nights they sleep in their kennels because they tend to be bed-hogs. we put on wall-e, which was such a cute movie, and then went to sleep.
and today has been a perfect lazy sunday. besides the laundry and dishes and checkbook balancing, i've done practically nothing. even as i'm typing this after 5pm, i'm still in my jammies.

I got a quick glance of those cute shoes. Those babies were HIGH and made my arches hurt just looking at them! :)
Oh my gosh, Melanie. When I worked at Payless back in 2000, when had a pair of shoes exactly like that come through. We laughed so hard when we saw them with their matching purse! What's funny is they actually fit our style now-a-days. I should have bought them...if they weren't a size 10...and I could have been as stylish as you!
I enjoyed reading this. Especially some of the comments you made. Made me think. Thanks for meeting up with us.
