Weekend report card: Curly’s Vegetarian

Curly’s Vegetarian Lunch: A
Real Girl noticed a review for this place a few weeks ago and J and I finally got around to eating there. We were big fans of the Veg City Diner, which burned down awhile ago, so were really looking forward to someplace that would serve us our vegetarian sloppy joes and tacos (we’re THOSE kinds of vegetarians). This place is tiny, but cute; the front of the restaurant was opened up, so there was a pleasant breeze. I thought they had me at vegetarian BLT, but I was to be wooed further when the waitress told me they don’t have their liquor license yet and could she get me a free sangria? Yes, yes she could. We also split a piece of a vegan oreo cake that would have received top marks as a regular cake—it was completely out of this world.

Bikes: A
My dad shipped my brother’s old bike that had been sitting in the shed for a few years. J got it all fixed up and we officially became a Couple With Bikes. Zipping around Brooklyn on a bike is just pure fun. My thighs are killing me as are my sitz bones, but I think those are good things. Like, I’ll get stronger or something.

Invitation mock up: B
We bought all the materials for our wedding invitations and set to work finalizing the wording and design layout. This took a. long. time. And there might have been some complications here and there. And maybe we don’t know what time the rehearsal dinner is or what day the Denver reception is: whatever. We sent the mock up to my parents for their opinion and I’m hoping everything will be smooth sailing from here.

Batman: A+
Not only did we see the best movie ever last night, but Kelly got us these passes from work that got us into the movie with a free small popcorn for $5.00. Five dollars! It was like the good ol’ days when a movie didn’t have to change your life to be worth the first born you have to give up for admission. Ironically, I would have paid full price for this movie and not cared one single bit. Re: previews—is anyone else worried, just a little, about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? I want to believe it will be good, but, frankly, I’m concerned. It could be Johnny Depp’s weird lipsticked mouth.
