The Weekend Briefly. by orange

Here is a bit of what this weekend included:

1. Good conversation and delicious food on a double date with our good friends EC & Matt at Vios Cafe.  EC and I didn't sway from our normal entree: the best greek salad Ever.

2. Of course...mulitple episodes of my current obsession: Friday Night Lights.  If you watch(ed) the show...you'll understand where I'm at in the series based on these pictures.

3. Running on Alki with Violet

4. Cat Nap...but of course...

5. Some early birthday present shopping: New Duvet, Sheets, Towels...Sadly, the Macy's we went to didn't have all that we needed, so when I have everything together I'll show some picutres of the new and improved Master Bedroom.  Here is a preview:

6. Suprise 30th birthday party for our friend John.  His wife really pulled it off.  How could we tell?  When they got home from dinner John immediately went to the bathroom and didn't shut the door - classic move.  But then, to his surprise, the whole party heard this action.

7. Easter Brunch at Blu Water Bistro.  Belgian Waffle delicious-ness.

8. Some work...and some Bed, Bath and Beyond for the perfect shower mat to match our new towels.

9. Listening to this fantastic new single by Band of Horses:



10. Finishing up the weekend with dinner at St Clouds for their first Sunday of the month Fried Chicken Meal with our friends Katie, Jared and their adorable Signe.  Who could not love this sweet thing?  And she is really this smiley...all the time.

I hope you all enjoyed the weekend as well!!

i'm addicted. by orange

As mentioned in previous posts, growing up, I was in love with the TV show Felicity.  When I got my first job out of college I remember how content and satisfied I felt when I was able to purchase all the seasons and, of course, re-watch them all.  Well ladies and gentlemen, I have a new show that I'm addicted to...

Friday Night Lights

Here are a few reasons why the show is Ahh-mazing.

1) The conversations between the characters (who are in high school) are realistic to their age.  There are no overly-mature monologues where you think - yeah, right.
2) Each character has a significant story, there is not just one "good guy" or the character that is always the antagonist.
3) Hour long episodes. 
4) The family dynamic of the coach's family.  It's not perfect which makes it all the more appealing.
5) Riggins, Seracen, Street...ummm...they are all good looking.
6) Some of them, Landry in particular, have such sassy attitudes - love it!
7) During the show, I'm completely sucked in, when the team scores a touchdown - I'm sitting in bed, raising my hands up in the air quietly yelling "Yeaahhh!"
8) It's like a never-ending football movie; I loved "Remember the Titans" and this is that, mulitplied times 60+ episodes.
9) The little boy from "The Blind Side" is in the show.  He is just too darn cute.

So, if you have not had the pleasure of watching this show and are looking for a new series to fall in love with, I highly recommend to go out and rent/buy Friday Night Lights.  There are three seasons out on DVD and the fourth season will start airing on TV in May.  Plenty of time to power thru the first three seasons and be ready for the new Friday Night Lights!

Go Panthers!
