I love brunch

There's nothing better than getting up late on Sunday and going out for brunch. Especially if the brunch is $9.95 and it's ALL YOU CAN DRINK Mimosas, champagne, Bloody Mary's, Screwdrivers, etc. The Eggs Benedict was great, but it wouldn't have really mattered if it tasted like cardboard, because we were there for the alcohol. I love Mimosa's. Unfortunately, the Mimosa's weren't all that great, so I had to follow it up with champagne. And what's better than a yummy alcohol-infused lunch? Why grocery shopping, of course.

Sam has decided that in order for him to enjoy going to the grocery store, we should institute a "Four-Drink Minimum" for his enjoyment pleasure and so that I don't have to yell at him for being a pain in the ass. I love the grocery store but my loving husband does not feel the same way. However, after four Bloody Mary's, he was having a great time. Such a great time that as we were walking home from the store, Sam tried to fall down and take all of our groceries with him. I couldn't help but laugh. Usually he has such grace and poise!

So tonight we are following a Rachael Ray recipe and making Nosagna, or a noodle-less lasagna. Mmmm....yummy. We gots lots of yummy vegetables and some exciting stuff to cook with (yay heavy cream and cheese). We'll see if we can follow a recipe and make this turn out just right.

We're going to make dinner, watch Man on Fire and enjoy ourselves tonight. I got cider and Sam has beer. We'll be fine...

Ok...Carlye is full of shit and this is the only way I can attempt to redeem myself. Just so anyone and everyone knows, I almost fell because our rolly cart got stuck in a crack on the sidewalk. I kept walking and the cart decided not to move. It had nothing to do with my alcohol consumption. I think I could have had a few more bloody mary's and been just fine.

That is all,
Sam

HI Carlye!! Loving your blog!! You make being a struggling social worker sound so glamourous! Hey- How about next time David and I are in New York, you, me, David and Sam all go have brunch at whatever boozy place you guys went to?

Anyway, David is going through the same job stuff you are- so I know it must be pretty tough. We got an audiobook from the library called The Don't Sweat Guide to doing a Job Search which was basically one big rah-rah-sis-boom-bah-hang-in-there-kiddo (plus some tips) that you can listen to on an iPod. Other than that, I think the whole process just takes lots of patience. Good luck!
