public transportation

On Saturday, we had a date to meet the Hafeles at American Airlines Center to watch Matthew play some hockey. Yay! We live so close to a Dart station that we decided it would be fun to ride a train  to-and-fro instead of drive. The kittens had never been before, so needless to say, they were a little excited...

So exited to ride with her feet up!

happy list

1. Getting some quality Kylie Time this Saturday while R & D were at a Nascar race.
2. All the ice cream consumed in the past 3 days. (Ugh, totally forgot about the glory that is ice cream cones)
3. The RJD2 Pandora station Richard as honed in fabulously.
4. Watching "Mr. Mom" for the first time (OMG, SO CUTE.)
5. Finding that "Django Unchained" is available on-demand the first day of it's DVD release (this was literally the first thing I did after waking up this morning. PRIORITIES, people!)
6. Getting caught up on all my blog posts. :)
7. Salad! Spring time salads!
8. My new make-up routine.
9. CJ and I's champagne dinner last week.
10. The 45-minute phone call with Hilary that felt like 5 minutes.
11. Sweepy bangs!
12. How sweet and supportive and understanding my sweet boyfriend is.
13. Going to bed feeling all warm and fuzzy and cuddly and heavenly. (Freshly shaven legs contribute to this sensation immensely.)
14. The glorious spring sunshine!

a crazy amount of derby pictures all in one place...

God bless the Internet!! Richard has had a couple of derby bouts in the last few months, and I missed out on both. (One was in Pheonix--so that's ok!--and one was on a Friday that just required some Lone Kylie Time... ;P) I just love how much my sweet man gets into this game, and I love, almost just as much, how much he doesn't mind if I miss more games than I attend. No matter what, I'll always be there when he gets home so excited to hear all about it!

Unfortunately for the Supreme Derby Go-ers, my only long-lasting knowledge of these bouts was that  Dallas Deception lost (in a fight!) to the Pheonix Rattlesnacks, but my derby sweetie managed to bring home the MVP Blocker award!, and that the Dirty Mother Truckers (Richard's first derby team!) brought in their first ever win against the Brotherhood on the opening night of Clover Cup... and that's it. Not much in the Commentary Department right here, but the fact that I care enough to comb through miles of derby pictures accounts for something, RIGHT?!

A fun little newspaper one of his teammates made. :)

fake anniversary!

On Friday, Richard and I celebrated our "Fake Anniversary." We don't really have a This Is The Exact Day It All Happened! anniversary date, so we just picked a day last year, and here we are a year later!

We stopped by Whole Foods to get a random assortment of "Oh, this sounds good!" type things, and then went and had a little picnic on the pier on White Rock Lake. The weather was gorgeous and breezy and oh, so perfect, and we had such a lovely time just talking about everything. (Lawd knows we can talk ourselves to sleep!)

I got 2 packages of southwestern egg rolls--1 for me, and 1 for R to try, since he's never had them--annnd, I ate both packages after R had a taste.

 Yes, I brought my Lady Gaga towel, no shame here.

Jicama and polkies.

After our wonderful dinner, we came home, put on our comfiest of lounge clothes, popped open a Ben&Jerry's, and rented "This Is 40" (which was cute! not really a tangible point, but hilarious nonetheless). We were laughing so much at the movie and each other, it's stupid how much fun we can have doing so little. 

Happy fake anniversary, my sweet man. I have oh so much fun with you, especially when you're feeling really impulsive and drive us to Baskin Robbins in the middle of a Sunday evening ("But, it's anniversary weekend!"). You're the sweetest, most handsomest guy I'll ever know, and I'm so lucky we get to hang out together all the time. We may drive each other crazy all the time, but at the end of the day you always make me feel like we're Jay-Z and Beyonce, and no one in their right mind can ask for more than that. :)

"unfaithfully yours"

"Unfaithfully Yours" is on TCM tonight, which is one of my faaavorite movies. Hip hip for DVR recorders! If you've never seen this movie, GET ON IT, it's hilurrrious.

While I've loved this film for years, it took on a new kind of special after I met Richard. Let's just say, the Rex Harrison character's bombastic articulation reminds me a little of my sweet man...
("Today you've sunk even below yourself!")

So, on top of every other single thing I adore about him, my handsome man also reminds me of Rex Harrison roles? Ding-ding-ding! Lottery!
