happy birthday, matt! [blowguns are illegal in california]

my boyfriend's birthday was on sunday.
this was also mother's day.
mom got flowers.
matt got speaker stands and a blowgun.



after sleeping in [matt got the day off!] we did presents, watered the garden, and lazed about. dt and erica made us tasty tasty breakfast sandwiches and we sat outside on the back patio and devoured them. the boys went inside and played with the blowgun while e and i hung out back until the gun made its way outside. we had our fun and then realized that it was already 3 and we had to get to the beach. matt and i went to el matador up in malibu. once we got to the water it was mighty chilly, so we laid around doing crosswords and then took a walk through the caves and down past the fancy shmance malibu beach homes.

we stopped at trader joe's on the way home to do our shopping for the week. it's so cheap. and so good. we got home, showered, grabbed tim and katya, and went to indian for din din.

heart of india cafe is the best place around. their mint chicken tikka is divine, and it's the only place i can find one of my favorite beers - yeti. mmmm. the only concern i have with the place is that it is NEVER busy. if there are 2 other parties when we're there, that's a good night. i'm worried it will go out of business. that scares me. what will we do without sunny and sehti??
so we eat there. all the time. i mean, if we don't go, they could go under! [or so we tell ourselves..this is how we justify going there wayyyy too often] dinner was good except that they started putting CHERRY PASTE STUFF in their kabuli naan! wtf, heart of india?? that shit was NASTY. it tasted like naan filled with medicine. i thought our server fucked up [he's new. andd...weird.] but when i asked sunny, he said they just started doing that. ew. next time. kabuli naan sans cherry shit.

i saabed us home and we had surprise birthday cake. tim picked up a delicious chocolate raspberry cake earlier in the evening. i had plans to bake a cake, but then matt got the day off. YAY! after cake everyone went outside and blowgunned for a bit. i hit the beer can. then all of the food i had eaten finally hit my stomach and i went into sleep mode. crossword to fall asleep, and the day was over.

what a lovely, lovely day.


the blowgun is probably one of the cooler things i've ever gotten for anyone.

dt and erica agree.
