Jack and I had a fairly relaxing weekend so far. Friday we had some friends down to Santa Fe and we headed over to Bobcat Bite for some yummy dinner. Then we scoured the entire city (I'm serious, we went to Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, video rental places, grocery stores) to find the movie Nacho Libre. Jack and I have never watched it and our friends swore it's hilarious so we wanted to have a fun movie night together. Fail. We never found it anywhere! Feeling slightly defeated but not letting our spirits sink we headed back to the condo and watched part of our National Geographic Planet Earth documentaries. Not funny like Nacho but amazing none-the-less. Then we played a rousing game of Scattergories...ok, maybe it was only rousing for me...Jack was about to pass out and J&K were struggling to come up with words with the hard letters we were rolling but for some reason I was on fire and was shooting out words left and right. :) We finally headed to bed sometime after midnight and slept soundly.
Saturday morning we all woke up and we treated our friends to some Galloway style breakfast sandwiches (English muffin topped with a cooked egg and some cheese) and sat around chatting for a while. They headed out shortly after to run some errands in the Fe before heading back over to LA and then Jack and I decided to tackle the project of hanging curtains on our two 9 feet tall sliding doors in our living/dining rooms. We knew we needed something up for 3 reasons 1) the sun beating into the room in the afternoon made it almost unbearable to even want to walk into the room much less hang out or try to do anything in there, 2) we just bought new leather couches (back in October) and could tell that the sun was trying to dry out the leather and cause it to crack...needed to nip that in the bud asap, and 3) we needed a little bit of privacy. Even though no one lives behind us it seemed a bit more comforting to have the option to cover those massive window/doors. Not having a ladder to reach as high as we needed to get to place the rods we improvised using our coffee table with a stool placed on top of it. Dangerous, yes, but it worked! So now we are the proud owners of HUGE panels of curtains that thankfully do exactly what we hoped they would :) I'm currently sitting in the living room enjoying typing this post without the sun beating down on me and causing me to be unable to see my screen. Woohoo!
