\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a I heard so much hype about Rustic Canyon that I admit my expectations were a bit high. It was much louder than I thought it would be. I had to lean over to hear anything the BF was saying. And all the tables were too close together. The only good seats seemed to be the 3 booths. Our table was so close to another table that when the guy next to us abruptly backed up his chair, our drinks almost spilled. The lobster pieces in my Lobster Tagliatelle was delicious. I wish I could have more lobster. The porcini mushrooms didn’t seem to contain that much flavor, but maybe my tastebuds aren’t good enough to detect it, seeing as I’m not really a foodie. The pasta was very al dente, but I liked it. The BF had a more-rare-than-medium-rare burger, which was tasty, but gave me a bad stomachache later in the night. The fries were addictive. Later he sent the burger back because he just couldn’t eat it that rare anymore and the restaurant was nice enough to bring him another complete burger meal with the meat much more cooked (still slightly pink, but not enough to deter him from eating it as before). The second burger seemed chewier to me and not as soft as the first.
\x0aI think I would go to this restaurant again, but maybe just for wine and smaller bites. I liked the relaxed atmosphere the restaurant conveyed. It came off as some sort of modern cabin / farmer’s market.

\x0aCotton Spandex Jersey Bandeau Dress - American Apparel
\x0aThe convertible dress at American Apparel is only $43! Much cheaper than at Victoria’s Secret. Usually they’re sold for about $100+! And you can wear them so many ways! I would probably want it in black, evergreen, or cranberry, preferred in that order.

\x0a \x0a \x0a Kind of embarrassed that I like these boots, but I just adore the buckles on them. I’d really prefer boots with a more comfortable lower, thicker heel. Suggestions anyone?

\x0a \x0a \x0a Wishlist #1:
\x0a\x0aGuys are such jerks. You always have to tell them more than once to get something done. Why do they always put stuff off? I mean, how hard is it to just do it the first time they’re asked so we don’t have to keep nagging them?! Maybe girls end up nagging guys because they never do anything the girl asks. It’s not that hard to just do it!

\x0a \x0a \x0a Love these alcove beds, especially the ones that aren’t near windows because I like to sleep in darkness. I hate being woken up by sunlight. My fav is the bed under the stairs. :)
