so my brothers and their co-workers/friends have been going crazy about the dark knight movie that's coming out tomorrow.  they are the biggest batman fans and for the past year have done some crazy stuff in relations with the release of the movie. 

here they are last year at comic con...i believe they were doing another scavenger hunt.

they were also featured on the whysoserious site.  i blogged about it here.

What was the best thing about your weekend?

jeez, everything!  but for the most part i think it has to be that hubby is back from havasu.  he went to visit his bro.

but instead of writing it down, let me show you pics instead...

now that i've got your attention, LOL!

i had a great time with my buddies on friday night.  the races were interesting

even though we had no idea how to bet.  we only got to see 2 races because we got there late (next time i'm sure we will get there bright and early)...i love seeing the horses run...soo beautiful!

the bands were awesome, i enjoyed when in rome a lot more than flock of seagulls.  they were sord of a buzz kill because they were playing some really slow songs and peeps were starting to leave or walk away from boredom.  but once their good songs were played everyone got into it.

(see 2 videos below) 

on saturday we went to see sex in the city, hubby didn't want to go with me and my brother frank but he raised the white flag and changed his mind.  we had dinner at a cuban restaurant where they have the best mojitos.

while i went to the ladies room frank and hubby stood in line. once i walked over to them i realized it was all women (duh!).  i look up and frank says "hey mayra we're the only guys!"  i could not stop LOL.  i wished i would have taken a pic but i was laughing too hard.  later we counted about 10 guys in the theater, some older men, some gay and the rest were fans i guess?  i'm glad hubby was a good sport. 

i enjoyed the movie because i'm a big fan.  i think this could have been another season instead of a big movie.  anyway, i liked the whole movie except the end.  wtf?!  why drag it out...grrr!

i don't know what in the heck happened to me on sunday morning but i woke up so sad and depressed.  it was soo weird.  i could not get out of the funk.  even after running a couple errands and having lunch i could just not snap out of it.  i wonder if watching bridezillas and platinum weddings added to it?  weirdness!  i dunno.

after having my brothers over for a last minute bbq i felt better plus my margarita helped me to relax...

good morning neighbors!

i am still trying to recover from a great weekend.  i think i need to do a "cleansing" too because i went a little overboard celebrating t's bday, makes me feel better that i wasn't the only one.  LOL!

i overslept today...could not sleep last night, i was tossing and turning and several times i woke up sweating like a pig.  grrr!  then i couldn't remember where i put some concert tickets i had recently purchased, so finally i got up and thankfully found the tickets.  

hanging out at my bro's apartments on friday night was pretty cool.  at times i felt a little out of place, i guess hanging out with several 21 year olds is not my thing anymore.  *sigh*  don't get me wrong there were peeps my age but when the real young ones got there we fled. 

the laker game was pretty exciting and after the game pretty much everyone played rock band.  sam and john did such a great john singing, total pros! 

we munched out on pizza (thanks bro), snacks, and of course there was tons of alcohol (duh).  dan made lemon drop shots (his specialty) and made sure the young pups and some of the old farts catch a buzz.  =D
some of the guys also played darts...some of them got a little too into it.  competitive you think?

thanks frank for treating us, we had a great time!  go dodgers!!!

we had such a nice weekend.  it was so nice hanging out with my bros and mom on saturday.  we had breakfast @ mimi's then since my bros are batman freaks they were on the hunt for some figures.  they finally found them in pomona.  freaks!  LOL!

i found some nice shoes at the nordstrom rack and little bro found several pairs of luky jeans and a hoodie.  we stopped at virgin's to take a shortcut and we started messing around with the hats...eveyone said i looked good in this one...what do you think?  i would never buy it.  where am i gonna go with a hat like that?  what am i justin timberlake or a member of the blues brothers? 

NOT! ;-)

since we were going to bbq later at my house we stopped at costco, target, and finally the market for some groceries.  hubby grilled some chicken and carne asada.  i made cole slaw, dip, and mom made fried beans, delish.  my bros got the beer, chips and italian sausage to grill.

i was pooped from all the running around but that's my fault from trying to do too much...um, i'm an old fart i guess?!

james and paulie showed up around 6pm and we all hung out, ate like pigs and drank like lushes.  the de la hoya fight was boring but we had a great time chatting and making jokes.

paulie had a brilliant idea to try a shot he's had before...1/2 part lime juice and 1 part coffee liqueur.  i guess it's supposed to coagulate in your mouth and that it does, almost like spoiled cottage cheese.   it's so gross.  i had to spit it out because i gagged.  hubby and others were smart enough not to do it. 
most of us sampled tequila...patron, cabo wabo, and centenario.  i liked patron the best.  others peeps would be wine tasting but we were tequila tasting...lol.

boy was this weekend hot or what?  well here is los angeles it was probably about 90 degrees all weekend and i almost thought it was summer time!  i was just getting used to the 70 degree weather and let me tell ya, i was in heaven!

on saturday afternoon we went to the pet expo and we should have skipped it because it was super crowed and way too hot to be walking around...plus fighting the crowds was a pain!  i told hubby that the pets smelled better than a lot of the peeps walking around, bumping into you and not saying "excuse me".

we got to see some adorable doggies that i wanted to take home that were up for adoption.  i probably shouldn't have checked that building out because i got all teary eyed looking at all those sad faces. 

we got to see saw some awesome anacondas, birds and other animals...

we didn't spend too much time there like i said it was too hot and too crowded.  later that evening we had dinner with my family to congratulate my brother raymond for passing a huge IT test for work on saturday.  congrats bro!!!


poor hubby got sick later that evening, i mean really sick...vomiting, fevers and all.  he is feeling better today, not sure if it was something he ate or the new antibiotics he is taking for his sinus infection.

sunday i met ana (mamirosa), her daughter sofia, her bff andrea, her bloggie buddies; vero (la vero), her sons and ana (ana banana) @ plaza mexico.

we had so much fun chit chatting and getting to know each other better.  it really is a small world! 

we had lunch, (thanks again to ana banana and vero for treating!  you guys are too kind).  *hugs*

dessert, well i shouldn't really call it that.  mamirosa, ana, and i got a spicy and sour shaved iced called "el diablito" that i couldn't finish.  too spicy but it certainly was good!  now i know why it's called that...little devil!
sofia is such a pretty girl. oh my goodness i cannot get over how adorable she is!
