November 28, 2004Stuffed with stuffing, Part II
Since we didn't get to bring home any leftovers from Turkey Day - yeah, I'm still not sure how that happened - we decided to have our own little thanksgiving for sunday dinner. I made a roasted chicken, stuffing and mashed potatoes and Miss B made her famous apple pie.
So...from a food induced stupor, some highlights of our long weekend.
Friday: lounged around and then went to see The Incredibles (which is amazing - go see it right now) and Ray (also amazing...in a totally different way).
Saturday: watched Battle Royale (must have the requisite freaky Japanese movie), went to Berkeley to help my brother move, and ended up on 4th street - a super cozy and festive little shopping area - where we splurged on books at Cody's and bath salts at Hydra (thanks Miss B!!).
Today: surprised ourselves by getting xmas shopping done for my whole family (we bow down to the Target gods) and topped that off by driving back from Daly City via the Great Highway...ocean ocean ocean. Yummy.
Must. Eat. Pie

November 13, 2004I could get used to this!
The drive up on windy windy (as in winding not full of wind) road in the pitch dark was totally worth it to wake up here.
So far this morning we have been to the local bakery for a sticky bun, seen two hummingbirds and a gaggle of quails and watched the second half of "Angels in America" (amazing!!). That's what happens when you wake up with the sun.
Now its off to my favorite grocery store, the Surf Super, in Gualala (the nearest town) and then a picnic on the beach.
Wanna meet us there???

November 12, 2004Did I say 3:00?
Can't hold out any longer. Must leave now.
So...I just have to drive to my parents house to pick up the dvd player, then drive to the video store to pick up movies movies movies (Oh no the pressure of the video store, all by myself. Why didn't I ask for recommendations??), then drive to Emeryville to pick up:
1. Snacks and other yummies at Trader Joe's
2. My Sweetie
Let the mini-vacationing begin!!

Gettin' the hell out of Dodge (errr... San Francisco)
We are going on a mini vacation this weekend and I'm so excited that its really hindering my ability to go to work this morning. Can't we just fast forward to 3:00 this afternoon?????
My family has a house about 100 miles north of San Francisco at a place called The Sea Ranch. It's one of my favorite places in the whole world mostly because there is NOTHING to do there but lie around, read, eat, walk on the cliffs, drink tea...you get the idea. Oh, and take a bath in the Japanese soaking tub (we just can't get away from the Japanese things!!)
Yay for down time, yay for down time together, yay for beautiful views of the rocky rocky coast.
p.s. Of course my dad can't be there without being able to work so there is an internet connection so i'm sure there will be posting at some point (hopefully with pics)
p.p.s. Ok we are taking a little dvd and the ipod to hook into the stereo up there...we can't live w/out movies and music!

November 07, 2004It's Pho Sure......
We have found the best yummiest bowls of steaming noodly goodness.
Not to mention sushi, and tacos, and peruvian food, and gooey cheezy thin crust pizza.
Oh and blueberry scones.
You should all move here...and that's all I have to say about that.
