IT'S GOING TO BE 8 YEARS
Since Gus and I began to date. I can't believe how quickly time flies by! It's almost scary to think about it, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around it. 8 years... Goodness, all the things we have gone through, and all the things that we still want to go through. I'm just amazed, but I'm now trying to plan something special for our anniversary. Daunting but exciting task!
FILM FRIDAY {01} ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW
DATE NIGHT {01} UMAMI CATESSEN
Gus and I went to Umami Catessen in Downtown Los Angeles last night. I had heard about how good their burgers were and since I eat at least one good burger a week, I decided that Gus and I should try it out. There are closer locations to us, but this location serves donuts as well, and I am totally into donuts (my eating habits and cravings are not the healthiest, I know) so off to L.A. we went.
My first impression was descent. I found the place to be laid back, and the staff was friendly...BUT (and there is always a but, isn't there?) the place was also very cozy in terms of their seating arrangement, and man oh man, we had the lovely fortune of sitting next to two extremely loud and very drunk men. This was sort of bothersome for me, because quite frankly, I couldn't hear myself think next to these men and I was getting irritated. Gus, being the concerned boyfriend he is, suggested for us to move, but I thought it would seem rude so we stuck it out. Sure enough we got used to the loud men, and as the night continued. they kind of became amusing.
Looking at the menu, it was difficult to decide what to order, but that's probably because I'm the most indecisive person alive, so I asked the waiter for his recommendations. I wish Gus and I had gotten a little adventurous and ordered the fried mashed potatoes, but meh, you can't go wrong with a side of fries and a "Manly" burger. The burger itself was delicious, but rather small for the price and since Gus and I have made a deal to share all our meals in the attempt to not over eat or overspend, we must share everything even if it's small. So we obviously didn't get full. Then our neighbors to the side (the loud obnoxious men) ordered a donut and a cappuccino each. They were so happy and dunk that they started to praise themselves for coming to the restaurant and eating such a delicious food. One of them kept saying, "man, that is some good cap" haha, so we were intrigued. Following their recommendation, we ordered ourselves a cappuccino and a tres leches donut to split. The men were right about the donut, not so much about the "cap", but overall we were content with our dessert. Gus and I left Umami with satisfied bellies, and happy that we didn't overspend. We then went back to Long Beach and had some drinks. It was a good night.
TRYING ON NEW SPECS!
So about 3 days ago I received Warby Parker's at Home Try On package in the mail. Needless to say I was excited about this because I love wearing glasses. However, I've outgrown the pair of specs I have right now and I am currently shopping around to replace them. So I decided to try one the Zaag, Preston, Miles and Sinclair (in two colors). After careful consideration I've narrowed it down to two frames I like best: the Preston and the Sinclair. The Preston is sophisticated and masculine, but that doesn't bother me. I enjoy the "Whiskey Tortoise" color and the fit. I initially didn't like the Sinclair as much as the Preston, because I though the proportions were a little off on my face. Yet, it grew on me. It is a strong frame like the Preston, but it's more feminine and the color "Burgundy Fade" is beautiful, though it doesn't match the color you see on the website. So I'm still on the fence about it all. Tomorrow I need to mail them back, but I'm nervous because I had not realized that my 5 days would be over on a Sunday, and obviously there is no mail on Sundays! So I'll email them later to see how it's going to work out.
