#1: On Way to Meet See Jane (didn't get any pictures - fail! - too much good conversation - WIN!)
(Saturday afternoon driving in mad amounts of traffic on the 110 Freeway. Chef's behind the wheel - I'm riding shotgun)
Me: What the hell are these people doing on the road?!?
Chef: I.do.not.know.
Me: Get in the carpool lane before we go under that bridge into no man's land or we'll be eff'd!! Ohhhh maaaaaan - there aren't any spacers to get into the carpool lane!!
Chef: Yes there are. Just up there.
Me: No there's not!
Chef: YES THERE IS
silence as lane opens to get into the carpool lane
Chef: Let's just drive off into the sunset of our love and never look back.
Me: Dude are you for real? Where do you come up with this crap??
Chef chuckles maniacally while I shake my head so hard it almost flies off.
#2: At Fave Mexican Restaurant
(combing menus over chips, salsa and margaritas)
Me: What are you getting?
Chef: I'm not sure. How about you?
Me: I was thinking crispy chicken taco, but now I'm thinking one of their specials.
Chef: You're my especial. (pronounced ay-spay-see-al)
silence
I stare at him. Then roll eyes.
He bursts out laughing
Me: (in deadpan voice) Seriously. What the hell is wrong with you?
He laughs even harder.
If only I had known that less than 3 hours later he would lock
the keys to my house and garage inside the garage.
Zara Blazer + AWang's Coco + Martin+Osa Skinny Denim
*how I miss you M+O let me count the ways...numbers don't go high enough*
James Perse Cotton Cashmere Thermal
Melinda Maria Link Oxidized and Margo Circle Rings
Alexander Wang, the original Coco + Ash Ono Boots
Oh how I wish this picture could be enlarged without going off the screen.
Technology = enemy
Scene 3:
We pull up to the garage, it's lightly raining, the Chef goes to root around for a lamp in storage before I put the car inside for the night.
Me: The lamp is in one of the boxes by the door.
Chef: Okay move the car in (as he carries big ol' floor lamp)
Me: What are you talking about? That's not a table lamp!
Chef: What?!
Me: (hollering out the window) Bedside lamp! We need the bedside lamp!
Chef: Ohhhhhhhhhh. Back up then. I have to shut the garage door.
He locates the lamp and proceeds to enter the house while I park the car thinking he has used my house keys to enter the house. I join him inside.
Me: Dude, where are my house keys? I need to re-attach them.
Chef: I don't have them (slight smirk)
Me: Don't play around. Gimme those keys (temperature is rising) I have a lot to get done tonight.
Chef: I don't have them. They must be locked in the garage.
Me: *goes off* That's the only set to the garage! My car's locked in the (profanity-laced) garage?? How the profanity am I supposed to get in there to get out in the morning?!? And several other choice words not fit for blog consumption.
Chef: Can't we just be young lovers in love? Let's just go back to where we were in the beginning!
Seriously? Seriously.
This can only mean one thing.
Monday.

Need. that. bag.
Jared and the Chef must be distantly related, or at least share some gene that gives them the same (weird) sense of humor.
hahahahahaha.... i'm cracking up right now. Chef is hilarious. It sounds like he had one too many drinks, but apparently that's not the case. lol. :) At least he's attempting to lighten the mood and mix in a little "love". hahahahahaha (still cracking up..) but, on a much more very important note. LOVE the outfit :). and ohhh do i love M&O too.. but, i'm sure my money would be better well spent elsewhere.. and saved.. (sigh, cry, cry, and shake head..)
good luck w/ the car in the AM. night night to you!
xoxo
toooo funny!! lol...love your bag. I read on Janes blog that you guys met up....too cool!!!

Hahhaha that is so funny and your Chef is hilarious.I am in love with your bag..I am going to dream about it all day long:)
Hugs,sweetie
Wish you a sunny Monday
HAHAH these entertained me lots - do them all the time!!!! PS so jealous of your blogger meetup! I want to sit in love weather in cali and talk!
and i'm jealous of your boots, so want a pair exactly like that. if they go missing from your closet i know nothing about it..
Oh man. Hahaha. And I bet he was buttering you up so he could get a pass when he did something stupid next time. I'd be furious if Nate made a sweet comment when I'm raging. Haha.
I think Chef is a cutie... better than yelling in my opinion! Love your blazer! xo
Oh wow.. sounds like a stressful evening. But you look incredibly fab! Those boots and bag are perfection and you look cool even if your temp was rising! :) Hope the rest of the week gets better.

Aww, you and chef are so cute!
As is your jacket, and um, what is that awesome studdedness I see??
Hehe.
At least you have that bag;)
Sounds like there's never a dull moment with the chef. That bag and those boots are just gorgeous!!!Happy Monday;-)
Hahha oh my....it was quite amusing to read all that though...but ugh on locking the keys in the garage...hate when stuff like that happens!!!
that bag is GORGEOUS!
http://aclosetfashionista.blogspot.com/
I love your bag, it's gorgeous!
Ah, well, at least he is seeing the brighter side of things? ;o)
I'm laughing. Sounds like scenes between RBB and I...funny how we pair up and even each other out in relationships. Of course...I would have lost my cool over the keys.
u and chef crack me up!!!!
i've been using my Coco for the last year - and let me tell ya - i gotta give it up soon - AGAIN i went walking around with my bag - and umm doesn't it KILL your back?! - i can do a mall trip with the bag or normal small routine - but walking around with it for a few hours - for get it
i said to Joe this weekend 'y can't men use bags, cuz i could really use u holding my bag right now' - he felt my pain - and he'll normally hold onto it for a bit (ya know all manly like a football) - but this time i was on my own with the thing :o(
*kiss kiss*

love your blazer and boots!
and chef, too funny. but i know exactly how you feel. sometimes the only way to respond is with intense profanity, haha
love love love the blazer-perfect for work and weekends! And love the recap of your dinner etc..with "the chef".
Love love this military look on you! Glad you had a great time with the chef! That dinning experience must be special ;).
Love these hilarious snippets of conversation with the Chef :) And your bag and shoes are just GOR-geous!
This is hilarious! You have a gift for words and I really feel like I was there witnessing these non-fight fights.
too freakin funny carrie. you and chef are quite the duo. and those boots and that purse are hawt!
My god I love those boots!

Oh dear god. I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time, but it's damn hysterical now!
So how did you get inside after all?
Hah! And can I just say that anytime you're done with that bag you can send it my way. Happy Monday!
Oh no!!!! How did you get in? Just when I'm enjoying the weekend, Mondays always come to rain on my parade. I'm so sad I missed the meet up with you and Anna Jane! It sounds like you girls had a blast. I still am obsessed with your A Wang duffle. So, about the spending freeze. I broke down and bought one on Friday! But I really feel pretty good about it since I hadn't shopped in a while and it wasn't an impulse purchase. It should be arriving from shopbop on Wednesday (squeel)! I saw your tweet about your trip to Sak's over the weekend. Spill it. What'd you get?

Carrie, your life is so much more fun than mine. It's not even fair. You and the Chef are positively hysterical. And you look adorable! I love your bag and of COURSE the JP thermal. The man is a freaking genius. Also, I'm highly jealous of you and Anna Jane because I happen to be obsessed with both of you. I mean, don't worry, I'll get over it, haha. But still.

Chef sounds like a guy actually worth laughing with.
Love those boots!
bahaha, the scene at the mexican restaurant reminds me of my fiance and i exactly! he makes the comments and i roll my eyes in silence. love the boots lady, i need new black boots! ;)
Ha ha ha I love your conversations. On Friday I did a post like this with a conversation between me and D. about my spending habits.
K, your bag is seriously amazing! I love it. You're looking fab as always!
Sounds like an interestingly difficult but humor-laced weekend!
Hahah! I wish my Husband would talk like that ;)
Hahahahaha! Too funny, yet so cute! :P
Love your outfit... That Coco Duffel is perfect!
This post made me chuckle, you have quite the comedian on your hands

So I say concentrate on the fabulousness of your style!

This was a great post, I smiled out loud several times :)
At least you looked great while you were mad :)
Ahahaha! Poor Chef!
hilarious!
i think next time i use profanity, i'm going to actually say "profanity" and "expletive" instead of swear words. maybe that will help lighten the mood. :) i hope your monday turns right around to perfection!
this made me laugh..i hope you get your keys back asap! and i am so buying that alex wang bag at xmas even if i dont have all the money for it!
FIRST! I lovelovelove your bag & boots! So awesome.
SECOND! That dialogue was hilarious. I think my favorite line of the whole thing was "How the profanity am I supposed to get in there..." hahaha! Such a good way of making it blog appropriate!
THIRD: Hope you somehow got into the garage?!
Haha you crack me up! I love your stories...and that jacket. Yo ulook awesome!
P.S. Head over to my blog to enter my latest giveaway :)
Awwwww the Chef is sweet. :) He looooves his little especial! haha. And that is one cute outfit--I'm loving that blazer AND the bag! Sorry you got locked out though . . . that is no fun. I hope you made the Chef climb through a window to repent.
He is a sweetie Carrie ~ you just couldn't see how much! Love your boots and bag and do tell the story about how you rescued your keys....
oh Claire. there's no window!!! GONG SHOW!
Awwww he sounds so sweet. A little annoying when you're pissed off, but super sweet otherwise.
Love the bag!

HAHA!!! I just posted about tacos too! Love this look Carrie! I don't like the 110. Who designed that effin thing any way? Everytime we drive it I get so sick... Keys always run away from me... along with my purse and socks
You need to tell us what happens next!?!?!?!? How did you get into the garage?
M xx
OK You guys are hilarious! I guess we'll find out tomorrow how you got into the profane garage?
But I'm glad the sunshine of your love is able to pull your through the rough times! I mean, how can you be mad? It's just too great!

I can almost hear his laughter over mine right now :)
You slay me my friend! I needed the chuckle...now I need that bag!!
XOXO
Lol you are so funny! Priceless conversations!
Thanks for sharing.
I am glad you got into your house finally...well I am assuming you did!
Have a great Tuesday!
Beautiful boots!

XOXO

Carrie,
Loving the boots and bag. I love See Jane too! How fun you had a blogger meet-up. I am driving from San Diego to LA next week (on Thursday). Maybe we could have a quick coffee. :)
xo M
That's so fun & you See Jane met up - yay!! Those boots are to die for.. wow. xo
I want that bad so much! It looks great with your outfit.
I top every You Did What With Your Keys story, so in a way... It's almost ok that it happened. My poor husband though, if he had mailed our only keys to California, well, my anger would have melted the locks. Lucky he's way more responsible than me.
I do indeed do blog design, let me know if you need any help!
I love your bag, so jealous.

I'm sort of obsessed with everything about this outfit. The jacket. The boots. The straight hair. The purse. In love.
And those stories crack me up :) The Chef sounds like a funny guy (except for the whole keys situation!).
