Do you think my sweetie likes flowers?? LOL!! Good for me though cause he will buy 'em for me! I remember when we were just friends (haha) and he brought me a bouquet of flowers to say thanks for helping him. He contends that it was just a friendly gesture but he had everyone freaking out cause, what guy buys a girl flowers just to say thanks??? Carlos does. That's probably when I decided I was going to marry him.

Strike
I'm currently on strike, although it hasn't helped me out much at all. My demands haven't been met, my pleadings have fallen on deaf ears, my last resort really wasn't .....so here we are. My strike will probably end Jan 1....or earlier...maybe....until then, this silence has had a purpose...although not the one I intended.

I went and saw Julie and Julia with my aunts last week. It was SO good! It was even better than I expected. The only problem was that the entire movie your mouth was watering from all the nonstop delish eats! What really got to me was the Bruschetta that Julie makes early on in the movie. I googled the recipe and found it here. I also decided that the Hungry Novelist is a blog I will now be following. Anyway I probably gained like 5lbs just watching that movie and I am definitely going to make the Bruschetta. Thought you might like to try out the recipe. So here it is:

Bruschetta alla Julie and Julia – Recipe
4 slices rough textured bread, such as focaccia, or from a crusty baguette, cut lengthwise
16 oz. assorted heirloom type tomatoes (I used President’s Choice Rainbow heirloom cherry tomatoes) chopped and seeded if the seeds look sketchy
extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and halved
sea salt
chopped fresh basil
1. Toss tomatoes with 1 T. olive oil and about 1 tsp. sea salt.
2. Fry bread in 2-3 T. olive oil in skillet, browning on each side, and adding 1 more T. oil if necessary.
3. Rub cut half of garlic over 1 side of fried bread.
4. Spoon tomatoes (with oil and accumulated juices) over bread. Top with chopped basil and more sea salt to taste.
5. Eat with plenty of napkins on hand.
Serves 2.

Sneak Attack
First what you need to know is that we got a scanner that scans negatives and turns them in to digital pics....so I will probably be posting older pics for a while. Ok - now onto my sneak attacks! I always am trying to snap pics of Carlos when he isn't looking. But he is so good at catching me and hiding. Sometimes I get lucky and get a"good one". The problem with digital cameras is those are more likely to get deleted but these will live FOREVER!!

Mushy Mind
That's what I have - a mushy mind. This past month or so has been pretty crazy - we moved, Carlos was gone a lot, I had several trainings to go to, during my lunch break I have been listening to talk radio and becoming increasingly appalled at the state of our nation AND to top it off - last week Carlos and I got sucked into Lost....we have watched it on netflix which I guess is a good thing? Or maybe not cause we just watch one episode right after the other and the knowledge that there are about 60 more episodes to watch...well it makes it all the more intense...I think this is probably the first time that Carlos and I have watched something together that we BOTH enjoyed and were into so much. Where was I 3 years ago when this all started? I don't know. Last night to combat the mushy mind we went out walking for about an hour and theorized on what exactly was going on at the island, what would happen next, etc....all in all its been really fun, we have enjoyed just hanging out together. On another note, I am struggling to blog because I twitter...it feels like blogging...mini blogging...it relieves my need to share whats going on and but this blog is left gathering internet dust....sad...oh well...btw, further proof that Carlos and I have been sucked into Lost is the fact that we used the nickname generator to come up with our own Lost nicknames...mine is Cue Ball....Carlos is Chicken Little....sigh....I wonder what is gonna happen next?

Had some visitor's last weekend and they desperately wanted Carlos to draw them something. A little rusty, but they don't see that. They see exactly what they wanted him to draw and their NAMES on there! Is this like giving someone a cup of cold water? I think so.

Threats...
I've been receiving threats recently. From family members. Yes, I know its shocking but its so true. This is the most recent one:
hi lady,
um, I love you but if you don't take the photo of me....................off ...... I might have to find some naked baby photos of you. :)
i off to find a photo of you in a bonnet or something.
But I am not afraid - I am fearless. I am also wise...and I took off that offensive photo but I saved it and three others I have that were WORSE and am not afraid to use them. So this is just my own little warning: any bonnet photos or naked pics that anyone out there has need to stay safely in their phtoto albums away from the "public" eye.
Love,
Your friendly neighborhood blogger

Some History..
We had our family reunion this weekend and my aunt brought a box of stuff for everyone to look through and divide up between all the children and grandchildren. There were letters that my grandfather wrote to his sister during the war. And there were handkerchiefs, old photos, newspaper clippings....I thought that some of the neatest were the baby clothes that my great-grandmother made my grandfather and his brothers and sisters. I showed Carlos when he got home and he was like, awww was that something that you wore when you were a baby? Uhhh - no, my mom got me pink dresses and I didn't wear bonnets....anyway, after he had a history lesson, he said I should display it. Great idea! I will try to post up pics when I do.
