sangria report numero uno

we have had a pretty quiet weekend.

yesterday we did some work then we had to head to the airport to get our tickets to idke fixed. this took several hours and after we got back i had to take a nap.

when i got up from my nap we went and got some lunch (i got a willy's burrito, jes got some enchiladas from mexico city gourmet). then we went to this new coffee shop in decatur called dancing goats. it's huge and so lovely, but they didn't have the air conditioning on, so it was a little bit warm. i like to call it "drunken goat" b/c that is this really good goat cheese that is soaked in red wine. kim introduced me to it when we were at the beach. good stuff.

after studying at the coffee shop, we came back here and studied some more. GO TEAM!
then jes played a little mario on her wii, and i talked to alyson and nicole on the phone.

because we had been inside most of the day (except for that enthralling trip to the airport-ugh), we decided to go out for a drink. i have been craving some sangria, so jes did a quick little search and we decided to try the sangria at raging burrito, a cute little joint in downtown decatur. we got a pitcher, which was kind of pricey (i think $19), but we knew we wanted more than one glass. now mind you, we were thinking the glasses would be small like for a mixed drink. in fact, they were pint glasses, so i mos def had my tipsy on by the end of it.

overall, it was pretty good. it was heavier on the red wine, but i think it had some brandy in it too. not too fizzy or sweet, which i appreciated. it didn't have any fresh fruit in it, but it was served with a lime wedge. this countered the lovely maroonish-pink color. on a scale of one to ten, i think i would give it a seven. i was pretty knocked out when we got home, so i went straight to bed. jes, of course, played a little more mario.

emily woke me up at 5am, and once my brain got started, i couldn't shut it off. so i came downstairs and got a bunch of work done. i just tried to get back to sleep for a few hours, and was unsuccessful. now i am watching tyler florence make some hella delish crab cakes. i think i like crab cakes, but i am not sure. i think i will ask sarah and kim to make them with me. i feel like they know how to make shit like that.

ok i think i am going to eat something and then go do a quick grocery shopping trip before everyone gets out and/or while folks are at church. we are babysitting for dawn and gator this afternoon while they get brunch because its their ANNIVERSARY! happy anniversary to them! get yer love on.
