Weekend Wrap-Up

I had quite an eventful weekend, and amazingly enough there are some pics to prove it.  Okay, so they are just phone pics, but better than nothing, right?

Friday night I got some free tickets to see this hottie at The Davis Graduate:

That's country singer, David Nail.  He sings wonderful songs like "Red Light" and his newsest single, "Let it Rain".  I was surprised to see that the guy who opened for him was this man:

That's Tyler Hilton, and if you are a One Tree Hill fan, you may know him as Chris from season two.  He helped Hayley with her music career, but caused a rift in her marriage with Nathan.  That scoundrel.

Let me tell you how excited we were to be at "The Grad"...well, maybe a picture would explain it better:

Yep, that pretty much sums it up.  This is an all ages club right across from a college campus, so it always smells like shame and vomit.  The only good thing about this place is that they have a bazillion beers on tap.  We waited in a line for ten minutes for a beer and when we got to the front of the line we found out it was a cash only bar and they have no ATM inside.  We headed over to the other bar that accepted cards and had a shorter wait and got the most gigantic beers I have ever seen.  I only had one because I was the DD, and it got warm faster than I could drink the whole thing, so...

The problem with this place, other than the place itself, is that there are giant beams and pillars all over the place, making positioning yourself to see the stage a difficult task.  Instead, I took pics with my friendies:

and at almost Midnight, I took a pic with the birthday girl who turned 30 on Saturday:

The show was great, and I had a fun night out with my girls, but I ended up going home with a headache that stayed with me through the next morning so I couldn't get up and go to work at the tax office.  Raging migraine.  I slept until 10am and then had to pump myself full of coffee and ibuprofen to get the pain to subside.  I went and got my hair did and then we headed to an engagement party for this lovely couple:

Sunday we went wine tasting at some nearby wineries for Tiff's birthday.  It was a gorgeous day and we went out to Sugar Mill which has several wineries in one location, so you can just walk back and forth to all of them and we had a nice little lunch outside.

I think Todd Taylor was the favorite of the day.  We went there last and got to take a tour of the back room and see how they make their wines.  We all headed back to one of our friends' house for dinner and more wine.  It was a great weekend with a great group of people.  The whole weekend I just kept thinking to myself, "I love my friends."

And now I am thinking of this video, ugh:

You're welcome.

5 More Weeks!!!

Hunger Games opens on March 23rd and I just found and instantly fell in love with this little number today:



Hunger Games + Taylor Swift = Swoon!

Happy Friday!

Major Letdown

So, I was over reading Shades of Gray and Caroline was talking about her childhood crush, who also happened to be mine.  Good ol' Jonathan Taylor Thomas, or JTT.  I was OBSESSED!!  I shit you not.  Hardcore obsessed. 

Some examples for you:

• I had to buy every single issue of Bop, Big Bopper, Tiger Beat, YM, and any other magazine that has his picture on the cover. 
• I would tear out his centerfold pics and made them into a border around the top of my walls. 
• I watched the Lion King a ridiculous amount of times, and to date it's my favorite Disney movie simply because he was the voice of Simba. 
• I have the timeless classics Man of the House and Tom & Huck on VHS, which I have also watched countless times.  Well, not since DVDs became all the rage and I lost track of my VCR.  Sad face.

and the thing that gave me ultimate fan status...wait for iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit....

• When I got my braces off freshman year and they were ready to make my retainers, they told me I could pick out whatever color I wanted and if I wanted to put a design or picture in the actual retainer, I could bring one in.  I got teal, because teal and purple was the most awesome color combo of the mid-90s (and the colors of my Lion King bedding, obvi) and I gave them a magazine cut-out of JTT's HEAD!!!  I legit had homeboy's dome piece on the roof of my mouth 24/7. 

Yeah, that really happened.  Unfortunately I put it in a napkin while I was eating nachos at a wrestling tournament my brother was in and it got thrown away :(

So while I was reading Caroline's blog and saw that he had gone from this:


Yummy

 To this:

Yucky

I was extremely disappointed and had to come over here and write this blog immediately.  Honestly though, when I just googled images of JTT, I was taken back to sitting on my twin bed staring up and the amazing border of his pics around my room.  Sigh...

My V-Day

 What if this wasn't at all a post about my first Valentine's Day as a wifey and was actually about a trip to the Gyno?  I would probably lose some readers. 

Lucky you, it IS about the former, not the latter...

I was actually scheduled to work at the tax office until 9pm on Valentine's Day until I got to work on Monday and my boss realized that he had totally C-Blocked my first Valetine's Day with my new hubby.  He let me trade my shift for Thursday night instead.  Given the situation, hubs and I had no V-Day plans and decided to pretty much keep it that way.  We haven't really done anything for birthdays, anniversaries, or Valentine's day in the past few years because of finances, so we probably wouldn't have really planned anything anyway.

Yesterday afternoon hubs texted me from work and I said, "When are you going to come and take me to lunch?"  Something we rarely ever do because he leaves one job around 1 or 2pm and heads to the next one.  Turns out he didn't have to work at the afternoon one yesterday, so he was able to come pick me up for an impromptu lunch date.  We went to Chicago Fire and shared salad and pizza.  Basically we stuffed ourselves silly.

Later that afternoon we had the conversation about dinner, but we were both still so full.  After deciding on turkey burgers and sweet potato fries if we ever got hungry again, he laid out some ground turkey.  After work, I decided to stop by Coldstone and use my groupon to get us a treat to surprise him with.  It was almost 7pm when I got home and neither of us were really hungry yet, so we just opened a bottle of wine and hit up the DVR for some Smash (Fave show of all time, BTW!!).  About an hour and one bottle of wine later, we decided to forgo the turkey burgers and just share a plate of sweet potato fries.  We finished the night off watching Biggest Loser while stuffing our faces with ice cream.

  

With as much as I have been working and as little as we have seen each other in the last few months, this was the most perfect Valentine's Day I could have asked for.  I don't need cards and flowers and jewelry to have a good Valentine's Day.  I'm not saying I would refuse them either, just so we are clear.

Single or in a relationship, what did YOU do for Valentine's Day?

Show Me The Money!!

In case you haven't noticed, it's tax season.  I have been trying really hard to keep up with everyone's blogs, but working 70 yhours a week right now is not the business when it comes to blog reading/writing, as you may have noticed.  I posted one whole blog in January....

Anywhoooooo....

Hubs and I have been talking about all the things we might do with our tax refund this year, so I thought I might jot all of these ideas down and get your opinion.

The original plan:

We have quite a bit of credit card debt left over from the wedding and I need to get the 90,000 mile service done on my car, along with some new tires, so the plan was to get that taken care of and then put the rest toward the credit card debt.

Then...

Some friends of ours have a timeshare in Cabo and it's only $100/night that would be split among 3 couples ($33/night) for 8 days of tropical deliciousness in a 3 bed/3 bath beach front condo.  So we take the money for the car stuff and then the money for Cabo and then put the rest on the credit card.

But then...

I figured, we have been in our house for 2 years and still have nothing but dirt in our tiny backyard and our justification for not doing anything back there has been that we have no money.  How can we justify spending $2,000 on a trip to Cabo and not get the backyard done.  So....since the car service is a must in all of these scenarios, we take out that money and then get some estimates for the backyard and see what we can do back there with what we have and then put the rest on the credit card.  JB suggested maybe we just take a smaller trip for our anniversary to San Deigo for the World Fitness Convention in July.  I loved the idea, but when all was said and done, we would still be spending the same amount on that trip as we would be going to Cabo.  The upside was that next year JB can deduct the trip as a business expense because the expo offers continuing education units for some of his certifications.

We still haven't come to a conclusion on this.  The expo would be $500 for 3 days for him and almost $200 for me to go for one day.  I asked him to think about just picking the day he would most like to attend and then we both go that day.  Two one-day passes for the price of almost one three-day pass.  Luckily we can drive down there and we have friends we could stay with for free, so the only thing we would pay for is gas/food/expo.  Like I said, the jury is still out on this one.

Next up we have....

I am pretty set on the backyard idea and the car is a must.  The SD trip is up in the air, but one thing I know for certain, I really, really, really, really, really, really want an iPad.  For multiple reasons that are almost justifiable, but mostly that lately I have been in such a technology rut.  I love-love-loved my iPhone, but I gave it up because I couldn't get one through work and I couldn't afford the $100 monthly bill anymore.  Now I have a droid for work and I HATE it.  Nothing is easy to do from my phone, especially blogging/twitter/FB (plus it's a work phone, so I probably shouldn't be doing all of that from there anyway, LOL).  I know this sounds really trivial and I am almost embarrassed to be writing this for all of you to read (especially Sean), but it's so true.  So, I think when the iPad 3 comes out, I will just get a wireless-only 2, since they will be cheaper then.  We'll see. 

Then today...



Minus the DVDs and Treadmill

 I started thinking about our unfinished room upstairs that is attached to the loft and used as attic space right now.  We don't have much stuff to store so we could probably cut the storage space to only a quarter of the room, throw up some sheet rock/texture and throw down some rubber flooring, and turn that bad boy into a workout room.  Lucklily I am married to a personal trainer who knows how to design amazing workouts without any major equipment.  We would need some sandbags, kettle bells, a mounted TRX (or something similar) and a few other items and we would be good to go.  The room already has an AC register, so we don't have to worry about figuring out how to control the climate in there, and I know some pretty handy people who could help make this happen fairly easily.  This one is a definite possibility.

So, what do you think?  Which option would you go with?  Are you getting a refund this year?  Any big plans?  Wanna play 20 questions?

One ingredient: That's Bananas!

Oh hey!  I'm Bre.  Remember me?  No?  Good, because I am not here for long today.  Just long enough to introduce my good pal, Jobin. 

Okay, her name is really Monica and she blogs over at The Painted Pisces.  We work together and bonded over I Love You, Man.  Hence, the nickname.  Jobin has been my go-to  for quite a while now and today she is leaving our office and transferring to a different department to pursue a career in cultural resources and use her antrhopology degree.  I am so excited for her, but sad for me.  From now on I may only get to see her every other Friday.  Congratulations Big Mack!  I wish you all the success in the world...okay, save some for me.  After you finish reading here, go visit her blog and leave her some love.  She is super crafty and likes to share her projects with the world!

Take it away, Jobin!

Did you know I am a Gwen Stefani/No Doubt fan? Well, see here:

That actually has nothing to do with this post though, haha!

Eric does 99.99999% of all food preparation in our house, and he is amazing for that. BUT, I don't want him to feel like he carries all of the weight and responsibility of feeding our family. I am getting interested in recipes so that I can relieve him of his (delicious!) duty. Don't worry, I CAN cook, so I doubt I will poison anyone when I'm in the kitchen, I've just never particularly enjoyed it. I actually really enjoy baking, but our oven is less than reliable, so that doesn't happen too often.

Recently, I found this sneaky little recipe for banana ice cream somewhere, and while I can't find where I originally saw it, it is on maaaaaaaaaaaany websites and is just so easy I don't think I'll need to site anyone. It's really only one ingredient: bananas! Der!

The recipe I found/forgot said to chop up bananas, then freeze, and when frozen, puree in a blender/food processor. The texture is so very similar to ice cream, its bananas! (Insert wah wah bad joke sound here.)

When I told Eric about it, he had an even BETTER idea: use the ice cream maker! If you have one of these, the recipe goes from a 1-2 hour process to about 30 minutes. Genius!

First, gather your ingredients and kitchen tools:

4-6 bananas (for our family of four, this gave us very generous helpings)

Food Processor

Ice Cream Maker



Break up your bananas, toss them in the food processor and hit "mush" (Really a setting! I swear!).

We added a few tablespoons of peanut butter once we had baby food consistency (I know that makes it now 2 ingredients... so sue me), then plopped it into the ice cream maker.

Within 20-30 minutes, we were ready!

We topped it with crushed cocoa-dusted almonds. Mmmmmmmmmmmm!

Hannah was not really feelin' it though. But that's okay, at least she tried it.

Elisa was very pleased!

If you do not have an ice cream maker, freeze cut-up pieces of banana for 1-2 hours, then throw the frozen bits in the food processor and hit "mush". It will look crumbly, but once you scoop it, it will get that nice "ice cream" look to it.

Enjoy!

Just Another Manic Monday...

Whoooooaaaaa Whooooooaaaaaa!

First off, I want to say hello to all the new faces around here!  It is still crazy to me that people I don't know care so much about what I have to ramble about, but I love you all the same!  Apologies in advance for the less than riveting post you are about to read.  I hope you'll stick around after this...

I have been in a serious blogging funk lately.  In case you haven't noticed I get this super amped up motivation and post every day for a WHOLE WEEK and then nothing for like 2 weeks....or a month...

Whateva, whateva, I do what I want!

To be honest, I am just not feelin' it right now.  I finally let happen what I swore I wouldn't.  I got sucked in and let another blogger get me down.  I have also spent the past couple of weeks reading Christmas recaps and New Year's Resolutions and I barely had the energy to read them, let alone recap my own.  I'm just not feelin' it folks.  I love you all and want to read about your holidays, but since I only get to read like once a week, a thousand recaps and resolutions posts in a row were a bit redundant and overwhelming.  It's pretty obvious why I follow the blogs I do though, because they are all very similar :)

Tax season has begun so I worked all weekend.  Seriously ALL WEEKEND.  7 hours on Saturday and 8 hours on Sunday.  So today doesn't even really feel like a Monday.  I have the next couple of weekends off for various reasons, but I am pretty much working all but one weekend in February.  The good thing about a seasonal job is that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel so it doesn't really seem so bad.  Plus, I'm making that money, YA HEARD?  If you know anyone in the Sacramento, CA area that is looking for a tax professional, send them my way!

I know we only had our honeymoon 6 months ago, but I am seriously having vacation withdrawals.  I think it's because we did Europe instead of sitting on the beach with a drink in our hand getting couples massages.  I'm not really complaining about going to Europe, but I am itching for a paradise fix in a bad way!  It doesn't really help that everyone is posting about their winter vacations to tropical destinations and cruises.  It also doesn't help that I don't see anything like that in our near or distant future.  Booooooo!

I have worked out a handful of times since the end of October.  I went from working out 6 days a week, to working out like 6 times in 2 months.  I don't know what it is, but I need to get my mojo back.  I really enjoy being able to head straight home after work, but I don't like feeling like a fitness slacker.  I keep saying I am going to get up and go in the morning, but my get up and go won't get out of bed.  Bitch.

I don't do resolutions, but I do to-do lists, so here's mine:

• Finish wedding and honeymoon recaps before June.  If we have a year to get Thank You cards out, we should have a year to get the recap posts up too.
• Get my fitness mojo back.  Before I know it, it will be bathing suit season.  Luckily my eating habits haven't changed from when I was working out, so I am not packing on the pounds that winter usually brings.
• Remember why I started blogging in the first place, which was to keep friends and family updated on my life and keep a log of memories and milestones.
• Work harder to avoid comparing myself to others.  I can only control myself and my situation, so none of the other stuff matters.

I hope your year is off to a stellar start!!!  Maybe I should use it as a reset button for the ol' bloggy blog.  Let's see what 2012 brings!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Oh yeah, and Merry Christmas to you!

Today I turn 30.  Three-to-the-oh.  Dirty Thirty.

I should be out celebrating, but it's Christmas, so I have no one to celebrate with except for the sad, lonely people that are at bars on Christmas Day.  Nothankyou. 

Why do people get so weird about turning 30?  Or birthdays in general.  Why is there this stigma attached to aging?  I don't get it.  Maybe I don't get it because I am so happy with my life and I feel like I am in an amazing place at this point in my journey and I can't wait to see what more is to come.  Maybe it's just people who think they should have done more or should be more by the time they hit this age that dread it.  I dunno.  What I do know it that I thought this would be a good time to reflect on everything the first 30 years of my life has given me...

• Wonderful and supportive family
• Realizing my love for reading at a young age
• Realizing my love for dance/performing
• Countless friends, some of which are still around from way back when and a few amazing ones I picked up a little later in life
• Steady and continuous employment since the age of 15
• Amazing camping trips
• A couple of trips to Hawaii
• Many trips to Vegas
• A couple of trips to the East Coast
• A few cruises
• The loss of too many friends and a few family members
• Falling in love a few times
• Having my heart broken once or twice
• An Associates Degree
• A Bachelors Degree
• A Masters Degree
• Employers that let me work around my school schedule
• A Honda Accord
• A VW Jetta
• A Scion TC
• Owning my first home at 21 years old
• The ability to purchase another home at 28 years old
• Confidence in myself and my abilities
• A lot of debt that I was able to pay off a couple of times and rack back up again (Yay America!)
• Tens of thousands of life lessons
• The experience of a sorority (AXO for life!)
• A couple of minor car accidents
• The privelege of being engaged...twice
• The strength and wisdom to follow my heart and end the first engagement
• The ability to bounce back from that and find love again
• Getting married to a man I love more and more each day
• Becoming an Auntie
• A commitment to health and wellness
• Travels to Europe
• An awesome blog community
• Being a Matron of Honor
• Seeing some of my best friends find happiness in life and love
• Countless other experiences for better or for worse

It's been an amazing thirty years and I can't even imagine what is coming my way in the next thirty.  I hope to strengthen all of the relationships I have and maybe even make a few more.  Who knows?  Thank you for being a part of my journey.

Friday Funny: From My Honey

Unlike me, JB has the day off today and was up this morning to make me breakfast and coffee before I left for work.  He usually leaves before me, so breakfast together on a weekday is unheard of in our household.  As we were sitting at the table eating our breakfast and watching the local morning show, a commercial came on for TJ Maxx and Marshall's.  It's a Christmas commercial that shows a bunch of people singing and doing choreography around a mall telling you why it's better to go to their stores than the mall.  It's pretty cheesy.  As the commercial is running, this comes out of JB's mouth:

"If I wasn't gay, I would probably be good at that."

As we both sat there and processed what he just said, and realize it at the same time, he says:

"I think that came out wrong.  I meant the opposite of that."

We.Were.Dying!!!  Laughing, crying, pounding the table, stomping our feet, DYING.

I'm pretty sure I have evidence from last year's Pigeons Christmas card to substantiate his first claim.  What do you think?

Merry Christmas Eve-Eve everyone!!!

Friday Funny - TMI Edition

Me: but I wouldn't care if you did

Me: cuz I am all in



F: Well in that case

Oh What Fun!!!

So I might have jumped the gun a bit by sharing my story on Tuesday about my family's tradition with Christmas tree decorating, but I decided to link it up today over at I Love You More Than Carrots anyway.  Head on over there and see what kind of traditions she has in her family and link yours up if you want to play along!

Wedding Wednesday: Bridal Party

And now for pics of our gorgeous bridal party!  I love that our personalities show through in the group pics.  So hard to stay serious for two seconds.

Oh Christmas Tree

We decorated our tree on the 4th, but as usual, I am a total slacker and didn't get anything up about it.  When I lived at home, and even after both my brother and I had moved out, my mom always wanted to go up to Apple Hill and find our tree and cut it down/decorate it as a family.  This usually required getting up really early on a weekend and sacrificing spending a whole day with the fam.  My brother would make chili and we would decorate the tree in the evening.

Over the years my parents moved closer to Apple Hill, but farther from me and my brother and it became more of a hassle to keep this tradition going with our busy schedules.  Last year JB and I bought a fake tree (I am not a fan of sap, bugs, or fire hazards) and I decided to have everyone over here and make chili and decorate the tree, once again reviving our tradition somewhat.  So they came over again on the 4th and we decorated the tree:

We don't have a tree skirt and it was off-balance so we had to stick some folded cardboard under one of the feet, which is why I cut off the bottom of the pic.  LOL!  This what we call Christmas Corner.  What do you think?

Weekend Wrap-Up & A Recipe

Friday night I went to a Christmas dinner party that my friends host each year.  JB and I made sure to reserve a room at their house since we knew there would be drinking involved.  We ate too much, drank waaaaaaay too much, had some Dance Central 2 battles (which I dominated, BTW), and made some great memories with great friends.  Of course I don't have any pictures to show for it.  FAIL.

Saturday morning I woke up pretty much hating life.  We had breakfast and I tried to choke down a bloody mary in hopes that it would make me feel better, but my headache would not go away.  Four hours, six ibuprofen, one bloody mary, one cup of coffee, and a water bottle later, I still felt like crap.  I knew I had to rally though because I still had my mani/pedi date with Mrs. Monologues.  She came and picked me up around 3:15 and I had managed to shower and make myself look somewhat presentable.  I felt better, but was still pretty tired and I'm sure I wasn't very good company.  Pictures, you ask?  Nope.  Not one.  FAIL.

Later that evening JB and I went over to his coworker's apartment to watch the UFC fights.  My headache had started creeping back in and my stomach was in no shape to be away from home, but I powered through it.  I took some Excedrin Migraine and had a few beers and managed to have a good time despite my condition.  The fights were AMAZING!  Bones Jones is a gangster and I was so glad to see Frank Mir get a W.  Hoping to see the Jones/Silva fight in 2012!

Sunday I woke up with my throat full of gunk, but I felt okay otherwise.  I laid in bed and caught up on Private Practice on the DVR and JB brought me Starbucks for breakfast.  I was excited to find out that they decided to switch to showing the Patriots game and got to watch the last half of the game and see the Pats get a W!  After the game ended I retreated back to the bedroom for some more DVR and didn't emerge until 3pm.

I decided to use the rest of the afternoon/evening wisely and prep some of my food for the week.  I cleaned/chopped/packaged a bunch of veggies to take for snacks:

I made some of Jamie Eason's Chicken Meatloaf Muffins and a pot of brown rice to take for lunches:

I also decided to make a new recipe for dinner, Butternut Squash Soup.  I have never made this before because I was not excited about peeling and cubing the squash, but I found a package of it pre-peeled and cubed at Costco for only $4.99 and it was the exact amount of squash that the recipe called for!  I had everything set out to take a before pic and totally forgot.  And then I was too hungry to remember to take a pic of the finished product, so the only pic I got was a during:

It was soooooooo yummy!  Here is the recipe I got from a friend of ours:
6 Tbsp chopped onion
3 Tbsp butter
6 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1/2 tsp dried marjoram or parsley (I used parsley)
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
8 oz. cream cheese (I used Horizon reduced fat)
3 cans (42 oz.) chicken broth (I used lower sodium, organic)
Salt to taste (I used a teaspoon)

• Saute onions in butter until tender
• Add all remaining ingredients EXCEPT cream cheese
• Boil 20 minutes or until squash is tender
• Puree squash and cream cheese in batches until smooth (I used the blender)
• Return to pot and heat through, but do not boil.

Since there isn't much substance to the soup, JB and I added some brown rice to it and had a couple of the chicken meatloaf muffins with it to add some protein.  I really like what the brown rice added to the soup.  JB actually put his chicken muffins into the soup, but I just dipped my pieces in there.  I can't wait to have it again for lunch!

How was your weekend?

Friday Funny



Nothing captures laughter like an LOL

Let me set the scene for you:

I'ts 5pm and I am waiting for the elevator to arrive on my office floor so I can head home.  In the foyer, near the elevator, is where we leave our items to be picked up by UPS.  We leave them in a stack right by the elevator and there are usually several items of varying size.  On this particular day, there is only one overnight envelope.

I have worked in this office for 4 years and we have had the same UPS guy as long as I have been here, so we often share the elevator and some small talk down to the lobby at the end of the day.  As the elevator arrives, I almost crash into the UPS guy as he is exiting.  We both laugh and I look over at our one little item to be picked up and I a say....

Wait for it......

Waiiiiiit foooooor iiiiiiit.....

"Looks like you have quite a large package today!"

Way to go Breezy.  Completely unintentional, but hilarious nonetheless.  He kind of laughs as I realize what I just said and I start uncontrollably laughing.  Needless to say, I didn't wait for him to finish scanning said package and join me in the elevator.  I just let the door close and laughed my ass off all the way to my car.

You're welcome.

New Layout!

My blate with Mrs. Monologues was AMAZEBALLS!!  So much so that we have another one scheduled this weekend to go get some mani/pedi action.  Which reminds me, I need to call and make appointments for us...

Anywho...

So yeah, we were talking about regular stuff, but we also talked about blogging, obviously.  Later that night she told me that she was going to make me a new layout.  24 hours later, I got this!  I just love it.  SO PINK!  And I have been wanting social media buttons and a picture header for so long!  What a dream come true!

What do you beezies think of the new layout?

Also, don't forget to change my URL in your reader to http://www.breezyinbloom.com/.  2 Legit 2 Quit round here!

PS, if you are wondering where our awesome, rambling, 10 minute vlog is...it's still on her iPhone.  She is having issues getting it to youtube, so when it's live, you will know about it.  Because I know you are all DYING to see how ridiculous we are in the middle of a sushi restaurant after two glasses of wine.
