encyclopedia of me - d



  • dion's pizza - to this day, my favorite pizza in the world. dion's is a local albuquerque pizza place and when i crave pizza, it's this pizza. green chile with ham, party-cut and a side of their home-made ranch.

  • daiquiris - i don't drink (remember?) but a virgin strawberry daiquiri (frozen, with salt on the rim) is one of my favorite things to drink, especially if it's from gardunos (yet another albuquerque restaurant i crave regularly). delish.

  • david - my husband's name, my dad's name, my brother's name, my brother-in-law's name, two of my nephew's names, my son's name (noah's first name is david)...i think it's safe to say this is a name we like in our family. but i especially like my dave. funny, smart, handsome, sweet, kind, honorable, honest, helpful are just a few words to describe this man i married. i adore him.

  • disney - all things disney. land, world, movies, channel, you name it. i love them all. there is something so magical about disney, especially at disneyland. i can't describe the feeling. when i went for the first time in my adult life (for our first wedding anniversary) i actually had tears in my eyes and goosebumps on my arms as we stood outside the gate listening to jiminy cricket sing "when you wish upon a star". i love the way that place makes me feel. i love disney.

    and p.s., isn't that picture of the teacup ride amazing? it was taken by natalie's (who i stole the encyclopedia of me idea from) sister nicole. it astounds me. follow her daily photography blog here.

ohhh dion's how i miss you!

daiquiris are alright. i'm not much of a frozen drink type of gal, unless it's really hot and i'm outsite drinking it.

dave - one super lucky man!

disney - i feel exactly the same way! i went to disneyworld for 1 week when i was 20, it was the first big triped i planned all bymyself, and a trip i went on with a friend.

i'm going to add DUDE to your list, because isn't that your favorite word?! ...if anything a common word that you use, and because of that everytime i think of it, i think of you. :)

Every time you mention that pizza, it sounds soooooo good! I cry at the Magic Kingdom, too. There really is something about it. It's so happy there!

I think gardunos went out of business.
I had a strawberry daiguiri on my freshman band trip (virgin, duh) and it was delish! I didn't know they served them at gardunios.

DIONS!!!!!! I miss that pizza so much. James and I couldn't get enough of it when were in Albuquerque this last summer. SO DELISH!!!!

And daiquiri's from Guardunos so delish too! But don't try to take any Albuquerque resident with you when you go cause they'll try their darndest to convince you that it sucks and that you really don't want to go. LAME!! It still is so delish though.

Mmmm... daiquiris! I used to go to Chili's and get a side of their mashed potatoes and a strawberry daiquiri. Mmmmm...maybe that's what I'll have for dinner tonight!
