live and let live.

Going through my drafts. I opened this one up that I wrote almost a year ago in December. I have no memory of writing it, what it's about, or even who. But I liked it. I'm posting it now for others to read. Thanks for indulging me in my random blog updates. =) 


I'm going to tell a story. If not for your pleasure then for my memory. 

So I was pmsing...

Getting mad at someone that didn't necessarily do anything wrong but in my eyes they were just being annoying. I was being super stubborn about the situation.  

Anthony was around for the whole exchange.

He called me on my shit. 

I got mad. 

But then he came back to me and said... 

"you know i think one of your best qualities is that you live and let live.." 

He went on to say that he admires this in me and it makes him try to do this as well and not be judgemental. I can honestly say that he made my attitude change right away. 

Wow. 

He thinks this of me. We have been together for 5 years and he has never said those words to me. It was a really awesome feeling to hear the person that you love say kind words to you about you. 

I just want to remember this. That someone thinks this of me. So when I start being judgy about something and I can reflect and know that someone looks up to me and that I should change my attitude.

I love Anthony for reminding me to act more like myself. 

Also,  wouldn't that be a cool tattoo? Live and Let Live. I like it. 

Halloween.

Happy Halloween!

Oh man. I'm exhausted from this past weekend.

Halloween Party on Friday night and the Zombie Crawl in Reno on Saturday (into Sunday)...

I dressed up as a Zombie Ballerina...I will have to get a few shot of my outfit up tonight.

Anthony did an awesome job with his makeup.... I went for the more pretty zombie look.





Today I'm dressed up as an 80's workout girl. I'm going to take it easy tonight though. Maybe go to my parents house and help pass out candy. =)

What are you doing for Halloween?

5 years.

San Francisco. October 22nd and 23rd. 

Our 5 year anniversary.

We started dating when we were just babies (or so it feels like). 

We have seen and done so much together. 

I can't wait to see more of the world with you! 

Thailand, Vietnam, NYC, Portland? 

Where ever we go next it won't matter because we will make the most of it.

And this concludes my San Fran posts. We had a good time. End of story. =) 

food fool.

San Francisco was amazing this past weekend. The weather was incredible. It was actually hot! I was walking around in a tank top with no jacket at 9pm. Almost unheard of..

Anywho, while in SF we did lots of walking! Hung out in different neighborhoods that we don't normally get to spend a lot of time in. And of course we did lots of eating. 

Here is a nice sampling of some of the treats we had. =)

Blue Bottle Coffee. It's the best! 

 Boccalone. Meat Cone. Flavorful salami 

Umami Burger recently opened up a location in SF. You might have heard about the famous burger joint that's originally from LA. The namesake burger was awesome. So many different flavors going on! 

 Cheese tots. Not on the menu... you have to ask for them. Plus umami ketchup. I don't want the regular stuff ever again.  

For a mid day pick me up we found our way to the Tipsy Pig. We had a few rounds of a drink called Strawberry Fields. Delicious and could be dangerous. 

 

We ended up at a place called Farmer Brown for dinner. Soul food. Started with jalapeno biscuits and an apple jack. I then remembered that I'm not much of a bourbon drinker...oh well. 

 Fried chicken, mac n cheese, and greens. Pretty darn good. 

We ended up at blue bottle coffee again for breakfast... But for lunch we went to a place called Cha Cha Cha on Haight st. It was a cool funky place. My friend told me about it and said we must get some sangria. I didn't argue. I'm a big sangria fan. 

 Fried plantains with beans as our tapa 

 And a Cuban sandwich to share which came with plantain fries. yum!

I love trying new restaurants and finding the places that locals like to eat. It's a passion of mine. I travel through my stomach. =) 

I wish I left all those calories in SF... sad to say they came home with me and I will be working out lots this week. ha! 

TGIF

Oh it's Friday again. Thank God! I wish weekends lasted longer and came quicker. Anyone else? I'm really looking forward to this weekend because Anthony and I are spending it in San Francisco. We are celebrating our 5 year anniversary of togetherness. I asked Anthony what he wanted to do while there... he simply said "let's just get lost". Isn't that cute? I think it's a good idea... as long as good food is involved in that. =) 

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! xoxo

A few pictures of our weekend there last October....PS- October is the best month to visit SF... Shhh..

Cheers!

What do you guys think of my new layout and banner? The lovely Camilla designed it for me. I love it! 

Anyways, the weather here in California has been wonderful.. actually a bit too warm but it will change soon enough and we will be complaining about how cold it is. 

Last weekend we went out to the pumpkin patch like we do every year. It was a gorgeous day.  We finished the day with apple fritters, the 49ers game, and a turkey burgers. delish. 

I love this time of the year.
