speaking svedish

day one of weekend

naturally, we would be the ones who decide to finally go to the ikea in red hook (brooklyn) when they are having their one year anniversary sale. absolutely CHEEEP. we fed my aching tummy with swedish meatballs ($7.90) and...I guess I won't judge people for eating in big box store cafes anymore.

we went to ikea to shop for a wardrobe.
here's what we made out with:
152" curtain rod...99 cents
curtain rod supports and decorative ends...49 cents and 25 cents
sheepskin rug...$19.99
4 lbs of meatballs...$14

but I already have my eye on:

wall mounted wine rack(s)
orange paper boxes
stackable shoe storage

pax fevik wardrobe (oops)
(another) sheepskin rug

Been home since Friday night...loads has been going on. So much, in fact, that it's been hard to keep up. Every time I come back, everything changes. Is that both comforting and threatening?

the new: frederick cellars

the old: a strawberry lemonade martini and a peartini at tasting room

Whirlwinding...

Lots has been going on in Catie Land. Writing two new movie reviews for “No Country for Old Men” and “Juno” (which I’m going to see again on Tuesday) so those will be updated soonish.

Had a fab weekend…went up the block to Laura Brooke’s for a shindig which quietly turned into an amazing DDR dance to the death match until 3AM,

And Saturday was spent catching up with an old high-school friend, shopping, obviously…until we got to Spring Street and started the drinking.

It continued at Maria’s house in Astoria where we got “basted” with turkey baster shots and vodka raz. Yum yum. I just love house parties. You wear whatever you want, hang with you friends and can actually talk over the music and you wake up not nervous that you liquidated your 401(k). Much nicer than the alternative. In any case, I’ll get back to work now and churn out these reviews…
