I never keep my promises when it comes to blogging...

So...Obviously I didn't make it back the next day. I rarely make it back the next day. 

I will try and do better though, I promise.

This weekend has been pretty low key. NOG and I went to one of my favorite restaurants in Culver City called Rush Street. They have an amazing salmon dish with basil mashed potatoes. I usually hate mashed potatoes but those green tots at Rush Street are entirely too delicious. This past weekend I tried the skirt steak because I was in need of some bloody, red meat. My meal was as good as ever but as I told NOG I think I'll stick with the sea food that's offered because it's some of the best I've had in LA. 

Saturday evening we went to see The Martian at the Arclight in downtown Culver City. I loved it. There were a few issues I had with how Mars was portrayed, specifically gravity and how the sun looks from Mars, but other than that I very much enjoyed it. And for once NOG and I BOTH agreed that it was a good movie. That never happens. I think the last time it happened was when he recommended I watch Moonrise Kingdom and I ended up loving the movie. Basically I can gauge whether I will enjoy a movie based off of how much NOG despises it and vice versa. It's very very rare for us to enjoy the same movie. 

We also took Jack for a walk to the nearest PetCo. He needed snacks and exercise so we made the mile and half walk. I learned that Jack becomes very anxious around busy intersections so we probably won't be walking there again. All in all it was a fun little bit of exercise. Plus they have Yoda ears on sale for $5 and even though NOG doesn't agree with me, Jack definitely needs them and will be getting them soon.

He doesn't look bad for walking almost four miles in an hour and half.

Sunday was pretty low key. I've been battling a headache that seems to want to stick around. Somewhere near us was a street being re-paved and the smell of the asphalt got to me. I've been sneezing since I first noticed the smell and then the headache came along. Now I can add a sore throat to the mix. Since the temperature dropped a good 15 degrees I guess I can add fall weather in also.

I didn't do much yesterday but lay in bed and watch ghost stories. I finally decided I wanted some lavender bread so I was up long enough to make that. I found an amazing recipe on Pinterest and I've made it a couple of times now and it just gets better each time. I love it but I don't think NOG is too fond of it. Which is fine with me because that means I have a great breakfast for the next couple of weeks.

Lemon glaze and fall flowers. What more do you need?

I'm off to apply for more jobs. Wish me luck. I need it.
