sun shines hot

 ....when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, 
and winter in the shade

What a weekend!

Spent all of Friday night with my favorite 4 & 8 year old girls. Made just enough $$ to turn around on Saturday and spend it on birthday lunch & drinks for one of my favorite people. Went to the Vortex in Little Five -- because they have his favorite alcoholic beverage. So not only did we both consume the mother of all cocktails, "The Skull Crusher" -- which tastes like bubbly purple kool-aid AND you get to keep the nifty glass. Yes, the Vortex Skull Crusher is described on their menu as, "Satan provided the recipe for this original Vortex Signature Cocktail. It’s made with premium tequila, vodka, rum, bourbon, various liqueurs and it’s topped with sparkling peach wine – to keep it classy!"  Since we were going all out, we also decided to split there mega-way-intense-for-even-two-people burger. If you can even call it a burger. Okay, technically it's called the super-stack heart attack burger.

ignore how into my drink i am and the look of fear in my eyes at the plate

"Two half-pound sirloin patties stacked inside three grilled cheese sandwiches, topped with two fried eggs, eight slices of American cheese, ten slices of bacon, with plenty of mayo on the side. With this burger we choose your side for you, and it’s a big bowl of fries and tots covered in our cheesy-cheese goo."

Sorry to inform you, that no, we did not even come close to finishing the plate. BUT, cheesy-cheese goo is phenomenal.The 'burger' was delicious. I mean how could greasy red meat, grilled cheese, and fried egg covered in bacon and cheesy-cheese goo not be amazing?

After attempting to eat not even a small fraction of the mega meal,  I was reintroduced back into the movie connoisseurs lifestyle and watched Scott Pilgram vs the World and have had the soundtracks stuck in my head. Liiiiikkkkeeee ......

So today (Sunday) quickly turned into a day of crossing off the to-do list:

1. get rid of the 1/2 dead christmas tree just sitting in my living room
2. gym (obviously after what I ate yesterday) 

3. pick up my road bike from it's tune up at REI

4. clean out the trunk of my car 

5. clean the heck out of my condo

6. spend as much time outside as possible

7. pay some bills ... (ew) ... 

8. download new music/update ipod
9. grocery store

So it's only 1:30 and already, (minus #5 & #8) I'm done with my list. So I'm gonna go sit on the balcony with Kujo & Lex some more until the sun moves off it, then get to playing with scrubbing bubbles.
