Best Date Ever

Jeff and I went out last night, down to 21st St. We had dinner at a sushi place where we ordered a boat of sushi. It was hilarious, our sushi came on a boat! I didn't have my camera with me but I did take pictures with my phone, unfortunately I seem to be blackberry disabled. I can't get mobile blogger to work anymore and I can't get my computer and blackberry to communicate..... alas. I don't know the numeric password to my macbook because my password has letters in it! WTF?

After the sushi on a boat we snuck into the premiere of The Auteur at Cinema 21. We had to sneak in see, because it was sold out. It was really fun, the director and the actors were there and a ton of people who worked on the film. We skipped out on the after party though, didn't really feel like going. The movie is really good, it's really funny, as long as you're not offended by naked people or making fun of porn. It's filmed in Portland and is fun, not just because of all the familiar places but I do enjoy that aspect of it.

New glasses!

A little while back I very tragically stepped on my glasses. I loved those glasses. I bought those frames at Puttin' On the Ritz in Eugene for $8, and got the lenses put in them for $15. That was like 9 or 10 years ago! Then the other day I put them on my night table to take a nap, somehow knocked them off, and when I got up I stepped right on them. Tragedy!



Boo! Broken glasses! Tape totally does not work, I tried it.



So I had to wait until I was on Jeff's insurance, then I went and got some new glasses. I got these at Erstwhile Optical downtown. They have "vintage stock", which have never been worn. They're new old glasses.





I like the fancy little side things.



They were only supposed to take 2 weeks, and into the third week I got a call saying I could come pick them up the next day, but that was tuesday and we were leaving town that evening for Turkey day. So I went in on Saturday, and they weren't ready! I was not pleased, but to assuage my annoyance the guy gave me a free pair of glasses! So I got some more normal-ish frames. They're really comfortable.



and here's a gratuitous cute Rosie picture.

Turkey Day Vacay

Emme is way into matching again..... Aubs came to Ptown for the weekend and the few days before Thanksgiving. We went on a Target shopping spree to get matching clothes for the three of us. Lucky for us, Aubry and I fit into the larger sizes of some childrens clothes! These are our two main matching outfits:





We also did lots of crafts while visiting at my parents.
We made a wreath out of cookie cutters:



I made this cherry pie for our Thanksgiving dinner. It's made with cherries from my grandma's tree that i picked in the spring, pitted and froze.



We also made a gingerbread house. Santa has been abandoned by is reindeer, so sad....



Emme had a tree stuck to her shirt at one point!



Jeff carved the turkey, free range organic happy turkey. Thanks, Mom!



Baxter has grown into a big happy fatty snorty guy.



He and Rosie got along really well. Good cousins!



He's got a beautiful British smile.... the top row of his teeth are staggered like shark teeth! Gotta love that underbite, too.



So snuggly! The vibrations of his snoring are so soothing.....



Bulldog club! "Doggie evolution" or maybe devolution....



Tramp-O-line!



Spence's golden birthday on Thanksgiving.... I made him this hat with a little elephant on it.
