POW #22 the "We Come From France" edition

Our poor little dude was sporting a conehead all week and it's all our fault. They took a little lump off his eye while he was under anesthesia for teeth cleaning anyway (just to REALLY make sure he hates the vet with all of his little white furry guts). To make sure he didn't get at the stitches, he had to wear the cone AKA the Bane of our little guy's existence. It's so pitifully adorable how immobile he becomes whenever the cone goes on - he just freezes and then makes little spazzy movements around the house invariably running into walls and tables further perpetuating his hatred of the cone.

He's all better now - cone is off and this week has been much less of a Bichon SUCKFEST, but I just had to post a cute little pic of Galileo in misery. He's perched up on his couch watching the world go by (notice I say "his", I've finally surrendered our custom made fancy-pants couch to He Who Sits On The Cushions And Makes Them Droopy). His face says it all: rescue me!!

We have the Cubans to thank for mojito's

Rob's work holiday party was last night at Anthology downtown and it was such a blast! We literally closed the place down and got kicked out at closing time by the staff. That is such a great venue for anybody looking for a fun night out - we had a great time. Pancho Sanchez was the musical act and the whole night's theme was Havana Nights.
It's always so fun to dress up, and I was stoked it was finally "chilly enough" ( I know that statement may just piss you Colorado folks right off) for me to finally get to bust out my fancy coat I bought in Boston...and have literally worn once since.

We didn't bring our camera in so we were stoked when we saw they had a photo booth (as you may recall, we have quite a collection of these from various places and we consider ourselves regular connoisseurs of the fine art of photo booth-dom).

The last picture cracks me up, we tried to switch places but couldn't do it fast enough. Very flattering photo of my 5 chins, methinks.

They had an "artist" (we think more like, an intern) doing free caricatures for everybody so of course we had to get one. We were DYING when he handed this to us, it looks nothing like either of us! Rob looks like Jay Leno and I look like some kind of crazed, hypnotized Bonnie Hunt. Rob did tip the guy 5 bucks for giving me good boobs, though, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Rob got a bunch of free cigars, too, so that was the icing on the cake for him. Good times all around!

Beer floats are just plain wrong...

Our friend Dave's birthday was this weekend and we celebrated with him at the Stone Brewery. Good eats, good drinks(with the exception of that beer float, ew!) and lots of laughs - what a great day. Happy Birthday Dave, you're the best!

POW#21 - the "We Have Decade Confusion Disorder" edition

So, as I may have mentioned - life is so much fun with a photo scanner woot woot!!! I've been having so much fun going through old photos and laughing my butt off, and now I get to share them with you. This one is a high school throwback in honor of my friend Nicole who is on my mind this week (she knows why!)...I think this was Junior or Senior year and we were going to a 70's dance at school. So, I'm ALL about the disco years now and would be able to rock an awesome disco outfit if there were a 70's party now, but I think back then we might have been a little confused about the decade. Here's Nicole and I decked out in our finest "70" gear - which now I think looks more like the 60's peace and love era. Well, regardless, we look ridiculous (what's up with my crazy shirt?) and we had a blast that night, what a fun memory!

Enjoy! hahahahahhaha!

The Wicked Chowdah Head Visits...

Our good friend Tim came to visit us from Boston over the weekend and we had a great time, as always. We met up at Bubs Dive Bar in PB (the best damn "Pittsburgh Cheese Steak" you'll ever have) and after a few hours of that nonsense, went to our favorite sushi place.

After a few beers (excuse the horrible picture quality, these were taken with my phone camera):

We found Tim's doppelganger at a surf shop:
I promise, we did more than just eat while Tim was here, we predictably had to introduce him to our latest addiction: Rock Band. That's how we roll.....
Tim took this video with his phone so the quality isn't that great but I'm sure you can still be amazed by our rock star-ness.

The next morning we took Tim to breakfast by the beach:


What cracks me up is I thought it was FREEZING (50 degrees in San Diego is really cold, people, and you out of State folks can mock me all you want). I was wearing my thick wool pea coat and gloves while Tim, that crazy Bostonian, was in a tee-shirt.

A little post-breakfast beach time:


We saw a bunch of dolphins, my Favorite! Unfortunately, this was the only shot I got of them, every time the shutter would go off, they would already be back underneath the water darn it.

Heh heh, that says POT.

More Shenanigans at the beach:



Until next time, SLM! Thanks for coming to visit the Warrenski's!

POW #20 The "Don't Mess Around With a Guy In Shades Oh No" edition

Guess who finally got a scanner??????? Woot woot! Hollar, CPP, thanks!!! A whole new blogging world awaits, my friends, prepare to be astounded, amazed and slightly uncomfortable with all the old POW's that are going to come flying your way. I can't wait.

I figured we should start off with a bang. And by "bang", I mean, rolling around on the floor laughing hysterically at this old picture of Rob and his friends. I'm not really sure what the occasion of said photograph was, but let's just say it's priceless. I love the tough guy faces and of course those rockin' 80's shades are brilliant. From top left, it's Rob, Tony, Eric and front row left, Jeff and Trevor. I know most of these guys have access to our blog, so I hope they, their loved ones and the rest of our blogging audience enjoy!! Too funny....greatest picture ever.

New Year's madness

Happy New Year's Everybody! We had a great NYE with friends, a very mellow house party that was a perfect way to ring in the New Year.

Guess who was a big fan of the NYE accouterments? LOVED the sparklieness....
Karen, me and Binney

...and Tara!

We played this great game Tara and Jason thought of - basically a "Right, Left, Center" pass game with lotto tickets. Alex won the 1st round and I was so stoked, I won the second round...a whole 4 dollars! woot woot!

And finally, the night finally turned into our new favorite addiction- Alex had gotten Rock Band for Christmas and clearly we were all just a little bit into it...I think we ended up playing for 4 or 5 hours (and I still had to pry Rob away at 2AM because this designated driver needed to go to bed!)
I think us girls were WAY more into it than the guys - or at least we really got into our rock star personas...I particularly love Janie's and my wild headbanging.

This video cracks me up, I'm not even sure what song this is supposed to be...but everyone seems really into it. It's not pretty but at least everyone is very spirited about it.

This cracks me up, right after midnight and the compulsory smooching/hug-fest that ensued, I turned on my video and captured this fantastic moment. LOVE the noise makers and what especially makes me laugh is Robin's intensity getting after the champagne all by herself...please enjoy
