How did you spend your Valentine's Day? My pal Lisa at
Bitching in the Kitchen plans on making "Misty Bitch" cocktails tonight, a recipe I simply must try. It's pink, so you know it's good. I spent the first half of my day recovering from my night of too many pints, celebrating a pal's birthday. My sweetie cooked a yummy breakfast for me, and about 3 hours later I was finally ready to get my day started. We headed to a disappointing estate sale, to the green grocer for fancy cheese (because you know I like cheese) and flowers. A few hours ago we set the iPod's Pandora application to the
Esqivel playlist, which we discovered is the perfect music to bring out your inner 50's housewife. Even my sweetie was tempted to don an apron whilst vacuuming.
Now we're hanging out in our nice clean kitchen/dining room. Ok, so this isn't the best pic, but I just had to show off my pretty V-day flowers. We are about to begin our dinner of grilled chicken sausages and veggies (insert phallic joke here), and we're listening to Pandora's Buddy Holly playlist. If you have an iPod touch or an iPhone, you must download the Pandora ap. It's incredible! You can also use the Pandora site to stream music through your computer.
Later my sweetie and I will watch the episode of Battlestar Galactica that we tivo'd last night. This, by the way, is one of the best shows ever made. Think you don't like sci-fi? Rent the first season of Battlestar on DVD and then tell me you still don't. Ok, must go grab another glass of Papio Cab Sauvignon, it's my "hair of the dog" beverage for the evening. I'm a sucker for any wine with a monkey on the label. I also set out that cheese. "Beecher's Marco Polo" (an herbed cow's milk cheese) and Vintage Irish Cheddar (soft, mild, and buttery). Both very good!
Bigfoot and Abominable Snowman Magnet Set by PearsonMaron. Available in lots of colors and also as a pin so you can take your monster with you everywhere for all to enjoy. $17
Knitting in Biology 101 (Dark Cork Background) from CraftyHedgehog. So bizarre. Even more bizarre, you can buy it in a real disection tray. Ah, I can smell the formaldehyde now (and that's a bad scent memory!). You can also buy the pattern for this little froggy if you'd like to knit it yourself. $62
The Stripper Vintage Record from jlovesupreme. This delightful record is strangely titled "David Rose and his orchestra play The Stripper and Other Songs For the Family." Hmmm...burlesque for the whole family... $7
Whip It Good - Little Devo Hat Baking or Gelatin Molds from my funny girl AuntiePrincess. I don't know what on earth I would do with these, but I want them in the worst way. $10
Stinky Lites are your Incense Savior -- Set of Four by dippylulu. You really MUST read the description for this yourself. It even includes a poem. Notice how many times I linked to this item? That's because it's knock you on your arse funny. Check out the gas mask on the cover of the Stinky LItes matchbook. These were brought to my attention by my pal LoveBlossom when she created the funniest Etsy treasury ever. $6.50
