Fun in the Sun

To celebrate the first amazingly beautiful sunshiny and surprisingly warm weekend of 2009 I dragged M out of his spring break cave and we wandered around the Wharf, soaked in up some rays and went to the movies.


What a fun day!

In other news, my old buddy HP finally moved to SF this weekend! Ironically she moved into the place DIRECTLY across from the apartment I lived in when we hung out a lot... and got ourselves into too much trouble. I'm sure we'll be hearing more about that in the coming months.

Also, on a sadder yet exciting note, my super awesome and super good friend LMS is hitting the road in just 3 days for the world adventure with no time limit that he has been waiting on for far too long. Hopefully this means I now have yet another excuse to go abroad to visit the guy in some randomly awesome country. He'll have a blast but will most definitely be missed A LOT!

Friday Hilarity

For those of you who appreciate both the TV show "How I Met Your Mother" and the fantastic musical Les Miserables you will enjoy this A LOT!



Have a good weekend!

Failure

A real China post is coming soon once photos are compiled, but in the meantime I have a confession to make. Due to my lack of self control and my peer pressuring mother who doesn't believe anyone should give up coffee I have completely failed my lent goal. I drank a mocha every single day I was in Asia. Bad bad bad....

The question is, now that I have failed, do I give up completely or make it a USA specific goal and tough it out for the next four weeks? Decisions, decisions.

China Bound

Tomorrow morning I will be heading off to the airport with mom and sister in tow to fly to Hong Kong then onto Shanghai mid-week to visit Emmer...woot!

Out of Towners

I love playing tourist in SF and am always glad to have visitors and show them around. Yesterday I had two! I got to head up to the Marin Headlands with Damien and show him one of my favorite places in the world (see photo) and then go out to dinner with him and Arun & Co. in Japan town.


Always fun to see people you haven't seen for 6 and 5 years!

Two weeks down....

Four weeks to go? Man, when is Easter anyways?

The first two days of coffee-less living were especially tough... I had INTENSE headaches. I had no idea that I was so addicted to the coffee in the morning. Now, you have to give me some credit because I wake up at 5:30AM five days a week for work, which is madness. And I've been doing it for almost 2.5 years!

I'm staying strong though and have not cheated at all. We'll see how long this lasts post-lent.

TA-HOE II

The ski-bus trip to Tahoe yesterday was both civilized (not driving was so nice!) and super easy. The conditions were amazing: blue skies and best of all not crowded AT ALL... making it a bit ironic that both me an the roomie were plowed into by a skiers. It couldn't have been better!


Let's hope for a late winter so I can go up again in April! :)
