Thoughts for Wednesday

{Via}

Ok, so, who saw The Avengers this weekend? Anybody? Tyler and I did. It's so good! I can't stop talking/thinking about it. I'm totally ready to see it again. Now, I'm not going to give anything away, but if you go to see it, stay to the VERY end of the credits. THE VERY END!

I think we all need some thoughts and inspiration for the rest of the week, what do you think?

Happy Wednesday Friends!

Weekend Review

    On Friday, Tyler and I went to a medic going away party for his Captain. It was also an early Thanksgiving celebration. We had delicious Puerto Rican food, some drinks, and of course, there was some dancing. :)
    Saturday, we went with our friends to their Uncle's Vineyard and small restaurant in a very cute, small town about an hour away. The type of restaurant he owns is only open a few weekends twice a year. The food was delicious and the wine wasn't half bad. We had so much fun! Oh man...there were some CRAZY Germans. People even get bused in to this area to come to his restaurant and eat, drink and just have a great time. We had a guy come up to us because he could tell Tyler and our one friend were military. He wanted to buy us all a round of schnapps because he was in the German Army.

Our dear friends :)

This was on the back of the coaster haha.

    Sunday, we just relaxed and watched a bunch of TV and movies. We watched, Midnight in Paris, Misery and Margin Call. M movie day I guess haha. Loved Midnight in Paris...So cute. Tyler even enjoyed it. Misery is a classic, so we had to watch it. It was decent...It's creepy, but I enjoyed it. Margin Call wasn't really my cup of tea, but it had it moments and has a GREAT cast.
     This week will most likely go by quickly since Tyler has a 4 day. Unfortunately, he has CQ on one of the days he has off, so we won't be going anywhere. Boooooo.  Oh, and starting tomorrow, we get to watch our neighbors boxer puppy! Woohoo! :) Should be a good time.
How was everybody else's weekend? Do anything exciting? Any big plans for the week?

Weekend Review

    Friday, I went to the gym, cleaned, folded laundry (thrilling I know) and just relaxed. Saturday, I attempted to see Crazy, Stupid, Love. My friends and I got there and they told us that the last base had scratched it a little, so bits were ruined. We decided to not go and go back to my place to pick a movie to watch. If I would've been expecting people, I would've prepared more food, but since I wasn't I had to scramble together some things like chips and salsa. After the movie, we all started chatting, two of us has some wine and we stayed up til about 2:30! WHAT!? It was a lot of fun. Two of the girls husbands are deployed and me and the other girl's husbands are training, so it was a nice girls night. :)
    Sunday, I took a very chilly walk (it's started to get cold booooo) and then, I actually saw Crazy, Stupid, Love. I really liked it! I mean, it's kind of depressing at times, but I REALLY liked it. Afterwards, I went to dinner to with my friend who I haven't seen in months. It was so nice to catch up. :)
   Today, I'm going to go to the gym and hang out with some of the neighbors...go shopping and what not. :) Should be a good time!
   How was everyone else's weekend?

Pet Peeve

   So this weekend while watching Office Space for the first time, I was like, "omg, they're filming in Texas! I bet it's Dallas...right off the 75." THE 75? THE??? Oh lord. I'm turning in to a Californian officially now. (I've lived there for about 4 years and have the license). Why the use the definite article in front of their freeways I'll never know, but they do. After I said the 75, my eyes got really big and Tyler just started laughing at me and said I'm turning into a nice little Californian ha. Sigh. Oh, and in case you were curious, Office Space was filmed in Austin.

   And here's my pet peeve...people yelling at waiters/waitresses, especially when they're speaking English for you in a non-English speaking country. Really people?! You're just embarrassing yourselves, well, and Americans in general. Please don't do this. 
   Unfortunately this happens a lot where I live. I try and speak German, and if I can't figure something out, I'm nice about it. It could also be a personality thing, but listen, some people are just plain RUDE. It really makes me uncomfortable and embarrassed for them. And you wonder why some people hate Americans? ha. Thus I digress. Happy Tuesday everyone.

Time for a Review

   On Wednesday, I baked brownies and cleaned up the place. I love baking so much. They were dark chocolate with chocolate chips in love...so good. More please?
   On Thursday, Tyler didn't get home til 8pm...argh. Ok, hold up, let me start at the beginning...It was like 5:40 in the morning, and I noticed Tyler left with out coming in to give me my goodbye kiss. Huh, weird. Apparently, I got so thrown by this, (well, that and I started thinking about stuff I still need to do for our upcoming Celebration of Marriage) that I couldn't sleep. I stayed up until about about 7:40 and decided to try and go back to sleep. You see, the night before, I had a little too much fun creating the seating chart and stayed up til like 1 or 1:30. haha. I got a few more hours of sleep, and was then ready to start my day. After a breakfast, a good workout and doing the dishes, I heard something start to vibrate and then ring. Ok, that's not my phone, where is this coming from? Yup, Tyler left his cell. Oh boy. Later that day, I got the meat out to defrost and started to prep what I was going to make for dinner. It got to be 5:30 pm, he still wasn't home and I was getting hungry. It's not like I could call him and be like hey, when are you coming home? Sigh. I didn't want to start dinner, because I was making fish tacos, and those are pretty fast (and easy) to make. So, I just made myself a small PB&J to tide me over. Around 7, I was finally becoming suspicious and starting to wonder what he was still doing at work. Finally, a little after 8, he came home. He had to stay and get things ready for the high ranking people visiting the aid station the next day. Understandable. A phone call would've been nice though. Oh yeah, he also said they gave him pizza so he didn't need dinner. Boo. I ate chip and salsa. haha.
   On Friday, we FINALLY GOT A TV!!!! Oh man. Listen everyone, it's been such a long time since I've had a TV. I can finally watch my shows/movies on a bigger screen! :)
   Saturday, we Volksfest, a local carnival/county fair type thing, with the neighbors and some other friends. It was a pretty good time! Lots of good food, drinks and friend time. :) 
   Sunday, Tyler and I went X-Men. We both really enjoyed it! I feel like such a nerd saying this, but I LOVE superhero/action type movies. So great.

   Today, I started to pack for our trip to California and cleaned the apartment. We leave Wednesday, and I hate to leave a messy apartment. I have more to do tomorrow, like clean/mop the floors, but hey, I'm close. I can't believe we're going to California on WEDNESDAY!!! Oh man. Also, I can't believe that we're having our celebration of marriage in 13 DAYS!!! AHHHH!!! SO EXCITED!!!

July 7, 2009 :)

 How was everyone else's weekend? Any big trips coming up?

I suck at titles...

   Yesterday, I finally got to see Pirates of the Caribbean 4! I love those movies. No, I don't care that they keep getting worse as they continue on, I still love them. This one was a bit of a stretch even for me, but I still had a good time and enjoyed it. Listen, I'm not expecting an Oscar worthy film or anything here. The only thing I didn't like were the mermaids...they made them more like sirens and evil. Boo.

   Tyler unfortunately was on CQ last night, but he also didn't really care about seeing the movie, so I went with some of my neighbors.
   Today, he slept most of the day, so I got a lot of cleaning done. A good thing I suppose. Then, we watched TV, made our steak dinner and had lots of wine, including Port from Porto, Portugal. We also watch The Iron Giant, which I haven't seen since I was little.

Oh man, I forgot how much I liked that movie! I even started to tear up a bit hehe. All in all, it was a good night I'd say. Happy Monday everyone!
