Weekends

Rob was gone this weekend, so I took it easy and spent a lot of time being girlie. On Friday night, I drove with Margaret to San Mateo in the rain. We had dinner at The Melting Pot, which you would think was the most dangerous place on the planet with all the warnings the…

I landed back in San Francisco from my business trip at 1 am on Friday morning. After a short day at work, the last thing I wanted to do was hit the town. Rob and I spent a quiet night at home with roast pork tacos and Hulu. I barely made it past nine and…

This weekend was just right – a little cold, but otherwise ideal. On Friday, Rob and I walked to the Ferry Building after work to pick up fresh bread from Acme, cheese from Cowgirl and an apply from the produce market. Lovely, clear night down by the water. Fondue for dinner with the fresh bread,…

Rob and I drove down to San Luis Obispo for the long weekend to spend some time with friends and family. We arrived late Friday night and spent the morning Saturday shopping for Margaret’s big 30th birthday party. I’ll go into the details in a separate post, but suffice to say, we spent the day…

This was a particularly packed and strange weekend. First off, a birthday celebration with darling Margaret after work! A huge group of friends and coworkers hit the town, first for wine and fancy pizza at Local and then to a dive bar called Beale Street Grill where we listened to bad karaoke and had too…

This weekend was certainly a mixed bag. It started Friday with an accidental party at our apartment. Rob and I were both out with our respective colleagues after work and decided to bring a few back to the apartment…which, through the magic of addition, turned into a rager with about 15 people. We drank, ate,…

This was a fun weekend in our new neighborhood! With our move finished, we finally had time to explore. (Apologies for all the cell photos – I left my camera at a friend’s house) On Friday, the women from our office left work early for an afternoon at the spa. Massages, manicures and pedicures were…

The combination of poor weather and poor health kept us inside most of the weekend. It’s not my favorite thing. Luckily, I adore the new apartment and being “shut-in” feels more like a vacation. On Friday night, Rob and I walked up to North Beach to have dinner with the Taylor family. We arrived just…

So, back in San Francisco the Sunday after Christmas…we sign the lease for our new apartment. Our life explodes immediately. The Christmas tree comes down, boxes are packed, parking rules investigated, grocery stores located, plan are made, bikes are ridden around the empty loft, head colds are acquired instantaneously. I go back to work on…

Holy moly. I feel like I’ve been away from the blog for eons! What a crazy holiday season this was; absolutely everything has been turned upside down by the move. It really does feel like a new decade. Let’s start with the actual Christmas: Rob, Margaret and I drove down to San Luis Obispo on…
