DO IT!!!!!!!!

Diddy is a Wise Man. Listen Up.

Like Little Runners in a Marathon

The weather is finally starting to turn to fall. It's amazing because we've been here for almost a month and a half now and it has only rained 1 day. It's been in the 70s or 80s the majority of the time. And it's not like it's going to get cold and rainy, i guess that doesn't happen here. But it does get cool and foggy. Now while i would still choose fog over rain any day, it's still a trip. I understand where the inspiration for the movie The Mist came from. It'll be beautiful and sunny out, then within 10 min the fog comes pouring in, sideways. I was walking home from work today, freezing because i forget you need to have at least 3 outfits with you at all times, and i was watching the fog. I finally figure out what it looks like. You can see it, like it's being pushed into the city with a huge fan. It almost looks like when you get to an intersection, then all of a sudden you realize there's a marathon and thousands of runners dart by. I know you're probably thinking, she's lost it. I blame the fog. It messes with your head...

I just aged 40 years

It dawned on my last night that in the span of 3 days, I had suddenly aged 40 years. We all know I'm an old woman. Yeah, I get it. You've all told me a million times and for a while I've embraced it. I like going to bead early. Staying in and watching old episodes of my favorite shows, comfortable shoes, tea yadda yadda yadda. However I became too old for my own good. I started my job at the PR firm on Monday. I'm an Administrative Assistant and work 8:30 to 5:50. The first day kind of made me sick. I mean, it was exciting, but scary as hell. Each day has gotten better, smoother and people are starting to talk to me. I have conference calls, meetings, passwords and keys. I have diet coke and coffee on hand, access to the full catalog from Office Max and my own desk. I read the New York Times on my phone while I ride the subway. All of these things made me about 45 years old, but then there was the moment last night, when I was at dinner with friends and I got excited. Excited about what you ask? Bagels. Yeah, bagels. Thursdays at my work are bagel Thursdays. Free bagels. And I was so excited. I don't know how but suddenly I'm a million years old. Sad. But hey, at least i like my job, right?

San Fran Shenanigans

We're still exploring the city and finding new places to go. Sometime they work out, sometime, ok many times, we get lost. Andrew and Sparks came to visit while they were in town. I'm really starting to feel like it's home here. I have routines now, coffee shope, brunch places, a jogging path, favorite stores. It was the perfect month to come down here!



The virtual postcard



Best Bento Box



We finally managed to get a picture of the 3 of us after how long?

Could you ever be sad at the beach?



Real Sand!!!!



Maybe I'll just put off the job and come here every day



Souvenirs from the beach hours later

We really were so excited that Redbull has Redbull Cola now. Remember the cola gummies in the shape of a bottle? They kinda taste like that.

Fleet week!



We went to the Muir Forest but couldn't find the redwoods so we took a picture of this tree and went to the beach instead



Muir Beach!



Seriously, real sand

Zebra's in California! We went to the wildlife park, not a zoo



Swans, not as nice as they look



I see where the inspiration for scary mist movies comes from



Welcome to the ocean!



I have no idea what kind of bird this is, but I like him



The wildlife walk was full of fun surprises. I don't know what large animals eat, but it all looks the same
