Cristin

Cristin and I finally got around to watching Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars this week, which was quite excellent.

We had yummy pizza dinner and Cristin got to feed Henry. She brought him this amazing shirt that she made, featuring Hank the Tank.

All of her pictures are here.

Here’s my list of favorite Bowie songs. This is the CD I’d make you if you wanted an introduction to David’s music.

• Five Years
• Cygnet Committee
• London Boys
• Dig Everything
• Win
• Young Americans
• Let Me Sleep Beside You
• The Gospel According to Tony Day
• Candidate

• Wild is the Wind
• Black Country Rock
• Moonage Daydream (A. Corns)
• Life on Mars
• Quicksand
• Boys Keep Swinging
• Station to Station
• Ashes to Ashes

I’m not sure that would all fit on an 80 minute CD, so if I made you this CD it might be a bit shorter. But in a perfect world…

Now, here’s Cristin’s list.

Cristin is super awesome. Y’all already know that. But just to be sure, it’s true.

She came over to do a photo shoot of Henry and the family. We got some amazing pictures. We also had a little lunch and a wee bit of champagne. Of course. Here are some of my favorite pics. You can also view her post to see her favorite pictures.

I found them!

OMG I love this outfit!

Sweetness

He got a bottle while we were there. A bottle of something.

Recently had a slumber party with Cristin. Sorry I’m just getting around to documenting. We had a really nice time - she let me finish the Twilight book I was reading while she cooked. What a lovely hostess!

She made a lovely dinner, some rum pineapple chicken dish with rice that was delish. Check out her cheffy self. I brought that pickled cauliflower which I think was pretty tasty, too.

And then I helped bleach her hair so we could apply more pink dye.

I also got two very small chunks of lighter blonde in my (already blonde) hair. I couldn’t help myself - there was unused bleach and I had all this hair!

The next morning Cristin made me french toast and we had a lovely bottle of champagne, which we drank out of regular juice glasses. On the way home that morning, I stopped by a little thrift shop and picked up some cute champagne glasses for her.

I got to deliver those glasses when we met again recently at Mez after work to enjoy the cheap taco bar. I’m sure I took some pictures but I can’t find them anywhere. Check out Cristin’s pics instead.

A super fun night out with Cristin! Sadly, these are the only pictures I have.

Dinner at Dos Taquitos

Waffles and Champagne for breakfast!

Cristin’s post, with more pictures, here. Thanks, Ms. Criss!

Yay for Cristin coming over to watch Pink Floyd’s The Wall with me!
Here’s Henry helping us cook.

And yay for the yummy dinner we made - chicken, rice and mushroom casserole!

As usual when Cristin comes over, she got to help with Henry’s bath and bedtime routine. We took some liberties with this photo.

Cristin’s post is here and more pics here.

Yay for Cristin babysitting Henry while Dave and I got out to have dinner at South. Thanks, Miss Criss!!

Aunt Cristin and Henry share a laugh.

Thank goodness Henry came early! It meant that Cristin and I got to keep our Labyrinth date at the Colony. Hoooray for popcorn and beer!!!

Cristin was super excited and blogged about her preparations here and here.

We had a terrific time, forgoing our usual dinner at The Bull and Bear for more face time with Henry.

Look how freaking cute we three are.

Cristin has lovingly documented our experience here. Read her post - it’s good stuff.

Here are a few of my fave scenes from the movie:
