Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time!
Christmas festivities throughout December… I blogged about it “December 7” thanks to back-dating, but SMS and I went to December Lights and recreated our meeting 7 years ago! We went during the day because we went to his sister and husband’s Christmas party that evening. The next week, I travelled back to Virginia to do…

Janelle Monae and a Great Weekend!
Thornton Beach Overlook hike This past weekend was a mix of study and play as I worked on a paper for my “Strategy and War” class but also did several fun things with SMS. Friday night, we headed out to Antolian Kitchen, a Turkish/Kurdish cuisine restaurant. I had the broiled whole fish, which was really…

Beyonce! Levi Stadium 5/16!
After such a busy weekend, I was feeling a little peaked. All I wanted to do was relax but… Beyonce was in town! After getting married, SMS and I walked down the aisle together to “Love on Top” and we have always talked about seeing a concert together. I missed buying tickets through LiveNation so…

Bay to Breakers 2016 weekend
This past weekend was amazing and packed with fun events. There was even a special bonus on Monday (teaser alert!). Pretty Mountain View Garden- not ours though! On Friday, we picked up our keys to the new place and did our walk-through. The house is absolutely lovely. The property manager spent two weeks between the…

Vance Joy Oakland Concert
Vance Joy, with opening acts Jamie Lawson and Elle King, played a sold-out show at the art-deco Fox Theatre in Oakland on Saturday, 27 Feb. It was an all-ages show and as Elle King said, “Raise your hands if you’re over 21….What are you doing here?!” All three acts had solid performances, although I definitely…

Tokyo Concert
After a great day at work with my first “real” surgery as a staff, I was on my way to Tokyo for The Killers concert. Now, if you want to feel like a big weird-o, buy tickets via a Japanese translator for a band named “The Killers.” I swear, it’s just rock, not death metal!…

Coachella 4/15-4/17
Coachella was AWESOME! I knew that I would have a good time, but the whole experience exceeded my expectations. We went with two friends and camped at the Polo Grounds. Camping was great, although we lucked out with our site in a few ways. Our neighbors were all pretty mellow and quiet, but not too…

Procrastination…
June has been so much fun. And while I should be working on a paper [see title], I’ve also been quite neglectful of this little page so really, who’s the procrastinator now?!?! Um, I think it’s still me. The first weekend in June, I went to an American-French housewarming party with delicious French small plates…

Fun weekend!
This past weekend was the funnest! And while “funnest” might not technically be a word and some might even find it annoying, it apparently isn’t as annoying as “kewlest” to some folks. That word sparks vitriol although I think it’s hilarious. Oh, well. Tastemaker I’m not. ANYway! I had so much fun this past weekend.…
