Ice Cream, Sleepy Puppies, & Good Entertaiment

Last week was a pretty great week.  Tuesday night after dinner with my grandmother, the roommate and I celebrated our friend Dav's birthday.  Since he is not local, he asked all of his friends from around the world to eat some Ben & Jerry's and post a photo-so we did.  The Peach Cobbler B&J is amazing, btw.  This whole idea makes me happy.

Thursday night I came home from work to find two packages.  The first one was my order from Painting Bliss.  Look how amazing these hand-painted sugar skull plushies are.  I love them.  She is extremely talented-and sweet! She even offered to donate to the Howl-O-Ween event for my rescue!  Look how beautiful they are:

I also received a surprise package from Beth! She is soooo sweet, and I did not see that coming.  Lots of cute stuff, but my favorite is the Doctor Who necklace!  Ten is my favorite!

Friday night and Saturday morning we cleaned-and the house has never looked so good.  I love it!  Saturday night we had our end of summer party, and it was so much fun!  Of course I didn't think to take pictures (blah!) except for this cute one of sleepy Thor. He was so ready to go home here.

Sunday we watched the Doctor Who premier, and it was AMAZING! I loved it!  I even love the new companion who they introduced to us early.  I was reluctant to, because I know that means Amy and Rory are leaving and I love them-but she's adorable.

Sunday night we went and saw The Amazing Spider-Man.  I hadn't really thought I'd want to see it, since I didn't really care for any of the other Spider Man movies that much, but the movie we had gone to see was sold out.  I'm glad it was.  It was really good, and I'd recommend you go see it!  Gwen Stacey is so much more interesting that Mary Jane, and I love Emma Stone.

Last night the roommate and I went for a vegetarian dinner at House of Tibet, and it was amazing!  Seriously, sweet cheese momos and soy chai from there are my new favorite things ever! 

How was your weekend?

Habits (MM)

This week's song:

Habits

by Maria Mena

Featuring Matt Langer

Her:

I am a creature of habit

And I move in circles 'round you

I will admit there's a pattern

One I've created myself

None of my lovers dared leave me

I grew impatient and stale

Didn't look back once I'd left them

'Cause I always expected to fail

But this time it's different

The rules don't apply

But I need some distance to step out of line

[chorus]

So grant me this wish and meet me back here in a year

If we still exist, I can let go of my fear

My fear of normalcy, fear of the solid, walls of our future, and let go of my past

Him:

I must be crazy to want this

'Cause you are the girl of my dreams

But I'm prone to ruin the good things

Cautious around balance it seems

Both:

But with you it is different

But I need some difference to step out of line

[chorus x2]

***

It's not that I actually relate to this song in any way at the moment, but I do love it.  I love the sound, and the sweet solemn feeling it has.  I really enjoy his voice too and need to look up some music by him to see if I like it or not.
