Day 91: 6 Months

Today was our six month anniversary. We decided to celebrate it more than Valentine's, because they are so close together. A while ago, my boss gave me a gift certificate for an Italian restaurant in Inglewood. The restaurant is Sugo. It was fantastic! I highly recommend it. I can't remember exactly what we ate, because it's Italian and I can't remember Italian words. Ever. We ordered three things. I wasn't terribly hungry, so we ordered two smaller things, and my husband ordered a burger (not just a burger... and it was really good). To be honest, I'm still not sure what we ate. We kind of ordered what sounded good. The basics are that we ordered mozzarella (which came with lots of lovely olive oil, and cherry tomatoes), bruschetta (a type that had sliced meat, greens, a strange vegetable thing, and a type of ricotta that was blue cheese-ish), and the burger had different kinds of cheese, grilled pineapple, and a few other things. All of the food was fantastic, with good portions, and the price was quite fair. Even without the gift certificate, it would have come to $38 before the tip. We tipped our waiter quite well, because he was excellent, and provided good service. We were really the only people there, because we were eating at about 3:30 (just worked out that way). It was a nice experience. 

Now that I'm done my mini review of Sugo... What did I do today? Prior to date afternoon with husband man...

I decided that today was a good day to try to do my Loitering project for school. I don't really feel like explaining... mostly because it's pretty much what it sounds like. A project where we have to loiter in order to see things, record, so on. See what happens. I'm not sure how successful I was. I ended up collecting a lot of leaves and dirt. I think that I'll record more over the next few days. I'll try to loiter about. It's just weird because I notice everything already. Forcing myself to try to notice more is just.... I dunno. An annoyance? Ah well. Collecting leaves and dirt was fun. I like taping things into my sketchbook. To be honest, I think loitering would be more enjoyable if it wasn't cold outside. It was beautiful today, but it didn't get really nice until the afternoon.

Prior to eating food, my husband and I antiqued and wandered around the shops in Inglewood. After eating food, we went thrifting. I found a top for a pirate costume, and a really cool bag.

What is better than an old lady bag. Made out of tapestry fabric. Fabric that depicts flowers and cats. And all I paid was $4. Fantastic. Thank you, Value Village. Sometimes your prices make sense, and sometimes it's things that I want. 

Tomorrow I am going to attempt making my mermaid bustle, a skirt, and a few more hoods. Let's see if I can follow through!
