bella vita: April 2010

Saturday, April 24, 2010

Since I am in and have the flu, I have been watching a lot of classics that have always made me feel better when sick since I was a kid. Here are few of my 90s favorites that always comfort me:

Created my own "Baby Sitters Club" AND read all the books.

This movie has the best soundtrack and I had the biggest crush on Devon Sawa.

Saw this in the movie theater with Stacy, Danielle, and our moms... and they cried.

Dennis was so confused when we got this from Netflix in the mail. He thought it was a mistake and said, "Who would rent this?" before realizing I had snuck it on our Netflix queue.

Another movie that I sat through for Devon Sawa's brief part at the end. *sighhh*

LOVE J.T.T.

Not a huge hit, but I used to watch this with my mom all the time growing up... we love it!

Love everything about this movie.. great soundtrack, perfect 90s cast

Yes I own this and watch it all year round.

I used to be so jealous of this kid. Believe it or not the one thing I was most jealous of was not the limo, or the shopping sprees or mansion he bought, but it was when he bough the huge 5 gallon drum of ice cream all to himself. I wanted to do that more than anything! Fat kid in training!

And of course, I'm 5, and still head over heels obsessed with the 1990's Disney movies(and some older ones):

While I'm doing a comfort post, I am going to put up some more of my favorite things while I am sick..
Essentials:

Banana Bread,

Green and Black Tea,
Oodles of noodles soup,
Banana smoothies,

Yummm(When I feel better)

What Spring means to me:

Outdoor dining with friends,

Breakfast with lovers,

Ladybugs everywhere,

Fields of flowers(particularly Central Park)

Spring 2010. It's 70 degrees out and I have the flu.

Which means I'm unable to ride this:

We have only taken out the beach bikes twice so far! I want to take mine out today but I am afraid that my sickness will only get worse if I don't get enough rest. I am not good at resting!

Our 2 year anniversary just passed.. We went out for Thai at Tai Thai in Williamsburg.. our absolute favorite spot.

We sat in the outdoor seating area and it was perfect weather.. We both tried to get something else but neither of us wanted to stray from Pad Kee Mao, our usual dish, which was amazing as usual.

We went for a walk along the Williamsburg streets looking for an ice cream shop, but ended up at our usual Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge.

It's just such a beautiful view and always good ice cream. Except for the Peaches n Cream. Yuck.
We also took another day this past weekend to catch up on some time with each other and had another date in the city. We went to the Museum of Natural History, Jackson Hole for Burgers, and Crumbs for dessert!

Now we are just fixing up our place. We put up a wall, creating a one bedroom where it once was a one room studio, and sanded, primed and painted for days. We also re-did the bathroom and our next project is furnishing and decorating the new bedroom and bathroom. We bought a bed from Macy's and furniture from IKEA. We just have to wait for their delivery and then I can FINALLY have some friends and family down to visit!
