Weekend Revisted

I had such a nice relaxing - and filling - weekend. On Saturday, my boyfriend and I met his family at a Brazilian steakhouse in town. Honestly, have you been to one of these places? They come out with meat on swords and just keep on coming until you tell them to stop. It was fantastic.

We had been there before a few years ago, but since then they've moved to a new location - much bigger - and a bit more upscale. I am always amazed when we go there. Every time is like the first. My favorites: filet mignon wrapped in bacon (OK, anything wrapped in bacon), prime rib, the fried yucca and those damn addictive cheese balls. Check it out: Gauchos Brazilian Steakhouse.

BF and I stayed out of the cold for the rest of the weekend and caught up on some of our Netflix watching:

Doom: I smelled what the Rock was cookin' - and it wasn't that bad. I actually really enjoyed this movie. It was 10 times better than I thought it would be. It didn't hurt that Eomer (any other "Rings" geeks out there?) had a big role in it. I was addicted to the original "Doom" game in college, but haven't played since. Hmmm, maybe it's time to start shooting again ...

The Exorcism of Emily Rose: I didn't know a thing about this movie before we watched, but by the end I was googling the "real" Emily Rose to seek out some info about the story behind the film. I liked the movie a lot. Not overdone. Genuinely a little creepy, even more creepy since I read that actress Jennifer Carpenter's (Emily) performance was not at all enhanced - the visuals or the audio.

Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit: I've been a big "Wallace and Grommit" fan for a long time, so I was really excited to hear about this movie. I loved it. It had everything I loved about the older shorts and more - cute, fuzzy bunnies. It was really hard not to think the bunnies squealing as they got sucked up in the big bunny vacuum wasn't the cutest thing ever. A definite must-see for W&G fans.

What Mixed Drink Are You?

Well, in honor of finally getting the drink recipes up on the site, I thought this was fitting. Give it a try and let me know what you get ...

You Are a Mai Tai

You aren't a big drinker, but you'll drink if the atmosphere is festive. And when you're drunk, watch out! You're easily carried away.

Updates done!

I was finally able to make all the updates I wanted, and now you can browse through the drink recipes and get to this blog from the Web site. It was great getting into all this Web site stuff; I definitely learned a lot, but I'm glad the bulk of it is done for now.

Can't Wait

It feels like I've been superglued to my computer lately. I wanted a lot of changes done to the site. The problem was that I didn't know a thing about the Web. Well, that was a few weeks ago ...

I've been tackling a little bit each day, figuring out how to make the changes I was looking for. It's been quite an experience, but I'd really like to get back to my work bench. I have a few projects laid out that are just waiting to be strung. One is a cute stretch bracelet of blackish-gray vintage Lucite with a flower centerpiece. The other is a watch with a pink face and tiny peacock dancing pearls for the band.

Shouldn't be long now!

New Stuff

Well, I'm almost ready to post a bunch of new things. First up is Gypsy Cocktail. A friend of mine loved this necklace so much that I helped her make one of her own. Check out the deep purple and vivid greens. I love it.

I've had this for awhile now, but I'm finally getting the chance to put it up on the site. Should be up early this week!

I'll also be putting up a new cigar box purse. I know. There's only a few to choose from right now! That will change, though. I'm working on a bunch of new ones, so keep an eye out in the coming weeks.


The one I'll be putting up soon is Shady Lady. I love the image of this girl. I've tried to use it several times, but never really thought it looked right. This time, it's perfect. The unique shape of this box really puts the spotlight on her.

This week I'll also announce my new drink index. Every piece at GirlsNightOutDesigns.com shares its name with a mixed drink. The new index lists all of the recipes for the drinks used on the site. Now you can learn how to make the drink your favorite piece is named for.
