Whenever I have time to update this blog, I have absolutely nothing to write about.  However, whenever I have a crapload of stuff to actually share, I have absolutely no time.  Figures.

I promise that I’ll make real updates  this weekend.  Trust me, I’ve got loads of good stuff coming- drum circles, aquariums, and how the heck we actually made it back to Seattle.  But right now I’m exhausted and need to sleep, so instead of a real post, you get this- a couple of things that made me giggle during the last two weeks.

After about 10 days, I started to feel like Mike may have been spending a little too much time around my dad.

We spent New Years Eve at a Brazilian Barbecue restaurant eating meat off swords with some of my favorite knitters:

Eating quail makes me feel like a giant.

After literally jumping up and down cheering “Meat! Meat! Meat!” Gigi went into a carnivore’s coma:

Earlier in the week, Derek showed me how a real man eats a 3 pound burrito.

Mike and Muneeb had passionate conversations about everything from the Lakers (Muneeb is not a fan) to a list of reasons why Mike should really stop working on his own car.  Over yogurt.

Outside of a bank, we found baby emo kids in the wild!  Just check out how tight these kids’ jeans are.  (We saw these kids go into a bank with their mom while we were stopping to use an ATM.  So yes, in order to take this picture Mike and I had to sit in my dad’s giant truck, complete with heavily tinted windows, and wait 20 minutes for them to come back outside.  Mike said it was the most creepster thing we’ve ever done.)

Jimmy liked his belated birthday present, courtesy of my mad knitting skillz.  (Amy got one too!)

Okay, off to bed now.
