Almost Time

A little post on pinterest this morning made me SUPER excited about the upcoming KSU football season.

BRING ON THE CATS!!

And the tailgates....

Cafe Trio Drinko

Ok, that's not the official name, but I'm starting a petition to change it after last night.

Krista and I met for happy hour at Cafe Trio.  I got there first and our series of texts went like this:

Me: Outside?
K: Are you serious?
Me: They have misters.

As if misters would save us from the 98 degree weather.  We tried to play it cool until we couldn't handle the heat anymore and moved inside.  Their patio was amazing!

To our delight, Tuesday are 1/2 price wine night.  Match made in heaven.  After 2 glasses of the Cab that the waitress recommended, I couldn't decide on my next move.  The bartender suggested one of their beers on tap.  I was lame and went with a Blue Moon, but it was a great refresher.

The best part of the whole night, well besides being with Krista and her using the word 'horribler', was when I looked at the menu and saw this:



A Margo pizza!



Duh, I had to order it.  It did not disappoint, delish!

We also had maybe the best spin dip I've ever had.

About this time we moved again, this time further down the bar to give us some more room.  It was like we were playing musical chairs.  Good thing the bartenders didn't care, they brought us over a "taste tester".  It just looked like a giant shot to me, don't try to use fancy words to disguise it.

Apparently I was loving the recommendations last night as I had a tweet from one of my fav bloggers, Trophy Wife, who told me to try the Sangria.  Bring it on!

When the bartender set it in front of me, my eyes about popped out of my head. 

It was the biggest glass of Sangria I'd ever seen.

Cafe Trio was not messing around.

It didn't look big in that picture, so we had to use props to show the comparison...

That's a tall beer glass to the left, and Krista's bigger than normal sized wine glass.

It came with two straws.  I'm not sure if it always comes with two straws or if the bartender was trying to tell us something :)

Jam Jar Wine

We had a blast and I loved Cafe Trio. It might be my new favorite happy hour spot.  Especially on Tuesdays. 

Who's going with me next week?

Flip It and Reverse It

After that title I can't stop singing lil' kims rap song from the 90's... anybody??

On Saturday we did an overhaul clean of our front closet.  Believe me, it was so necessary.  I should have taken before and after pictures.  I found two TWO k-state sweatshirts that I thought I had lost. 

Do you want to know what else we found?  A K-State starter jacket.  Legit starter jacket.  I have no idea how it got into our closet.  I will tell you that it was Tony's and not mine.  I'd like to think his parents brought it up at some point to get it out of their house, and that he hasn't moved it around to 4 different houses since he was... 13. 

As we were shuffling through the 28 coats deciding on what we could donate, we had a convo that went like this:

Tony: I feel like I wear most of these jackets still.
Me: Can we at least get rid of the k-state starter jacket?
Tony: Man, that thing carries around lots of memories...

I go to let Margo out in the backyard, as I turn the corner to the living room I hear 'Cal, we can't get rid of this, it's reversible!!!' and then I see this:

You better believe I made him prove that it was reversible.  And it is...

I told him we could mail it to Bill if that would make him feel better.  In which he replied, 'I think he already has it.'

Sorry folks, everyone is out of luck, it has a new home at the GoodWill.  If you hurry, you might be able to still get your hands on it!
