weekend nutshell.

These photo's don't really show you how I spent my time over the weekend at all. I didn't even make those tofu nuggets. Ben did. I did eat them though :) The weather was windy and overcast so much of my time was spent eating out and watching movies. I attended a lovely baby shower, and then sat at the movie theater for 7 hours watching Twin Peaks. Sadly, I wimped out before the end and made a quick appearance at a friend's 30th birthday before heading to bed. Sunday was spent cleaning, cooking, and having a much needed lunch date with some friends followed by dinner with baby mama friend Mo and her husband Dan.

On a complete side note: Ben and I were driving up Lake Avenue the other day. Windows down, waiting at a red light we see a pregnant woman wearing a belly shirt walking up the steep hill. A blazer pulls over and a man shouts "Hey there hot mama with that unit!". Ben and I were all smiles for the rest of the car ride. What IS the "unit"? The unborn baby? I'm not too sure, but I'm totally stealing that line now. There are some clever creepsters out there let me tell you. By they way, the "hot mama with the unit" was totally digging it too.
Oh yeah- Ben's little brother gave Argos this costume. He's suppose to be Darth Vader. Argos was completely stunned and I think a little disappointed in us that we would make him our evening entertainment.

How was your weekend?

Oh, lord! Argos is just too hilarious in that outfit!

I love "the unit" too... maybe I should start referring to my pregnant friend's belly at "the unit"?

Vanessa said...

Kim- He usually uses bread crumbs but we were out so he mashed up some croutons. He mixes the crumbs into a vegan mustard sauce and coats the drained tofu and then bakes them. So yummy!

Eunice said...

haha, the unit, that's hilarious! i love how people can be inventive with language these days!

Argos is super cute, although he does look depressed.. but anything/one sporting a Darth Vader is super awesome in my book!

tofu nuggets, those look yummy. I wanted to name our black cocker spaniel Darth Vader when I was little. My mom wouldn't let me.

rachel red lips said...

hahah argos really does seem a little disappointed in your amusement, but i think it was totally worth it.

what'd ben cook the tofu in? it looks delicious!

Julia said...

There is so much in this post that made me laugh! THANK YOU :) I loved that line--hot mama with the unit. Gotta love it. And Argos, you wonderful, obliging dog!

Lindsay said...

Hahahaha! Argos!

Megan said...

first of all, Argos looks freakin awesome...second of all, I hadn't seen Twin Peaks till recently, when someone forced me to watch the first episode...I was NOT in the mood/wanted to be doing other things, so I didn't really embrace it...therefore I don't know HOW you could manage watching 7 hrs of that show w/o a break...crrrrraaaaaayzzzzzeeeee

So funny: "the unit". Reminds me of the SNL sketch that included a very preggers Amy Polar dancing in a bar.

Love the pics, and what a fun weekend! I've been craving a Twin Peaks Marathon myself, complete with pies, coffee, donuts, etc (tho I can't quite get my husband in the mood - he loved the show, but says it puts him in a funky mindset). Poor Argus, my Dodge pup gets easily embarrassed too.
