Mother's Day was great! My sister and I took my mom to the San Francisco ballet on Friday. She is always going on about how she wanted to go so it was pretty clear as to what would be a part of her Mother's Day celebration. My mom had a blast! She was like a little kid at the circus. And my sister and I? Well, we napped during two of the three performances. It didn't help that I had had three martinis prior to the ballet & then gulping a glass of wine at the opera house. It was an expensive nap but my mom enjoyed it so that is really all that mattered. On Saturday, we drove up to Healdsburg & did some wine tasting. Winos or bust! We hit up 5 wineries and the weather was perfect. We discovered a new winery called Bella Vineyards. It's one of my favorites of that region. The tasting room & a small gift shop are inside a cave.
Two weeks ago, I met up with Lilan from The Daily Cookie at Chug Pub in San Francisco. I have been a reader of her beauty blog for a long time and since she is currently living in SF, we decided to meet up for cocktails. I had a great time meeting her and she is so nice. She even shared some of her beauty loot with me which was very much appreciated. I knew I was in good company when she asked if I wanted a shot of Patron.
Memorial Day weekend flew by. I took Friday off since I have a comp day due to Chinese New Year (a perk for working for an Asian financial institution) and made it a 4 day weekend. It was so nice to just chill. On Saturday my friend Alex came by and we went to the Farmer's Market. I wish the weather had been nicer but the fog has been hanging out for the past few days. I hope it clears soon. We had lunch at Panera and had a great time just catching up. My mom and sister came by on Sunday and we hung out. We tried this new restaurant near my place called PPQ Dungeness Island Vietnamese Cuisine and we had the crab dinner. Oh my! So good although a bit pricey. I recommend the garlic noodles and the crab was so good.
Next weekend I am headed to San Jose to see Dane Cook. I am hoping that it will be a great show. I haven't seen him live before and I am definitely a fan. I hope he doesn't disappoint. I am sure I missed something from the past couple of weeks but I don't recall. With my Netflix addiction and the increase in going out for cocktails during the week, May seems to be a blur.
You and me both have a thing for the vamps these days. Just starting breaking dawn. now what will i do when its over?? You've been sure enjoying living in SF it sounds like! That's great! The vietnamese food sounds way good - you are killin' me. How are you doing with your reconsideration about your career and being in banking? Any further thoughts on that?
