a story told in pictures:

Movie on the Rooftop

Last night Ellen and i went to Solera for their rooftop movie night. Every Monday and Tuesday night, Solera shows a movie with a themed drink. The movie last night was Mommy Dearest, the drink was the Red Screamer. It was beautiful to sit outside, enjoy delicious tapas and watch a movie. Perfect summer night.
The atmosphere was awesome because so many people had seen the movie Mommy Dearest, that lines were being quoted left and right. Including one of my favorite lines from a movie, "I SAID NO WIRE HANGERS!!!!" The staff even handed out wire hangers so we could re-enact the scene... everyone was way into it!
I cannot wait to go back for more tapas, movies and laughs.

Saving Bunnies and Holding Babies

My weekend was uneventful, besides doing some gardening and cleaning. I found a baby bunny that must have fallen into my egress window. I tried to get him out, but he kept jumping and hopping and freakin' out. Gosh, I felt so bad, I kept saying, Hey little bunny, I just want to help you.
He eventually ran into a small hole in the wall of my house. There he stays, i fear the worst now. :(
Sunday night i brought a meal over to the Kummer's and I got to see little baby Josiah. He was so sweet and little... At least that endeavor was successful.
Only 3.5 days left of work and then I'm on summer break!!! Freedom!

I found out about this lovely artist via Kelly's food blog. One glance and it was love at first sight! Check out her store here at Etsy, she calls herself, The Black Apple. Her work is beautiful, quirky and sweet.

Taco Tuesday

Now I know last night wasn't Tuesday, but whenever there is tacos to be had, I'm calling it Taco Tuesday. It's an inside joke I have with my brother. If you didn't already know, my darling brother Buddy has the "Downs" as we call it in our family. Or I guess you could say he has Down's Syndrome, although when he was born the doctors called him a "Mongoloid". Bad, but we have been known to tease him about that. Anyway, Buddy often goes to activities with his friends, and one of the activities is called Taco Tuesdays, where they play UNO and eat, but what else, Tacos.
My favorite thing to say to the Budster is, So what did you eat at TACO Tuesday? Lasagna?
No Sabrina! Tacos!
And then I will say it again, So what did you eat at TACO Tuesday? Pizza?
We go on like this until either:
a) buddy doesn't think its funny anymore
b) I'm laughing too hard to go on.
My parents have a joke (truth) that between the two us they have a hard time keeping track of which of their kids has the disability!
Well back to Tacos. Last night i met my co-workers, Rachel & Janine at Picosa in St. Anthony Main. They had fab happy hour specials that included, $1 Tacos and great 2 for 1s! We sat outside, by the river, having plenty o' laughs. Yay Tacos!

Garden Party

The past two nights I have hosted different friends over for dinner. First was Michelle, who brought me a lovely housewarming gift and a bottle of wine. We sat outside on my patio eating pad thai and enjoying the weather and good conversation. Tonight i had Shannon over for dinner. Even Kelly stopped by for a brief visit. I made Halibut with Asparagus in Parchment Paper. The food was divine and it was relaxing to sit outside and take in the beauty of the day.
