Happy Jay and favorite wine of the moment

A while ago, Jay saw the commercial for the new Dawn Direct Foam "One pump is all you need!" and he's been dying to trying it out. So when we went to Target to get our new energy efficient light bulbs and we saw the little blue bottle with a pump, we had to buy it. Verdict: It does need only one pump to go through all the dishes! Incredible!

In other news, we really like the Layer Cake wine, but it's hard to find here in Dallas. It goes very well with desserts (or sweet snacks)

A tasty snack to burst in snacky happiness!

Delicious Layer Cake wine from Australia

Working monkeys

When I came in to work on friday, there was a terrible chemical smell in the building. Turns out some work was being done on the roof and a seal was applied, hence the smell.
We were offered masks to avoid breathing the fumes. Here's Adam and me with our personalized masks.

Fuel City

Just south of downtown Dallas, on Industrial blvd, is Fuel City. It's basically a big gas station and that's where you can find the best tacos in Texas! And those tacos were really amazing!!!

Doesn't it look delicious? My favorite is barbacoa (the two on the right)

There's even longhorns behind the gas station. Now that's really Texas!

GoGo's

On february 5th, my friend Cheryl and I went to the House of Blues to see the Gogo's

I've never heard about this band before Cheryl told me that she wanted to go see their concert, and I'm very happy that she did! It was great! We had the best time even if it ended quickly (no encore)

Now I'm in training to become a rockstar!

Ryan's visit and pictures of the house

Sorry it took us so long to post some pics of the new house but we didn't have internet hooked up until last wednesday. I think we are finally settling down and realizing this is it. We have lots of plans and ideas for the house, but first we need to get some new furniture, next weekend will be all about Ikea!

This weekend, Jay's friend from college Ryan was in town. It was a beautiful weekend so these are pictures from outside (picture of inside the house to come very soon)

On friday, the guys went around town, visiting the Dallas Modern Art Museum and the Nasher sculpture center (pictures later) and on saturday, we went to Fort Worth to visit the Modern Art museum and the Stockyards, and of course we had a drink at Sundance square (we did go see a very bad movie, but that's another story...) Sunday was relaxing with brunch at Jeng Chi and then a nap at the Arboretum.

Jay and Ryan

Our house. Yeah!

Our chimney (it's so pretty)

The sunroom, best part of the house!

The hammock, ready for my dad!

The banana tree. It's short right now but will grow very very fast with the hot weather.

It's already starting...

The rosemary bush

The great light we have in the garden, it's very disco!
