tell me whatcha want, whatcha really really want!!

So I've been super busy lately (lie) and haven't had a chance to update the old bloggaroo. Truthfully though, I have had quite a packed weekend and can't believe it's already Saturday night. The weekend is already about to come to an end. :-( Ew. Where has it gone, where has it gone?

Yesterday I was super lame. I woke up at 4am on Friday morning after a Thursday night spent shaking up margaritas and making some delish fish tacos with my bf named Kevin. So I wanted to go take a class at the gym at 12.15 but as luck would have it, I decided to fall back asleep on the couch around 11.30 and woke up at 1pm having missed my class. Motha Effa!!! KS calls as I'm about to embark into the real world and go to this fabulous world of Equinox (yes, I did get to join! Kevin got the good lovin' for fronting me the loan to sign up!! :-)) Anyhow, he was able to get off early on Friday and since he had some friends in town I decided I would skip the gymbo, head out for some afternoon beverages and check out some new spots in SF. Following is my report of my new finds!

Waterbar: this is a nice little bar located off the Embarcadero where you can sit outside and indulge in a few nicely priced Happy Hour bevvies while taking in an amazing view of the Bay Bridge. 4**** but only if you partake during Happy Hour otherwise I think it would be a little too overpriced.

After our afternoon delights, we headed over to the Palace Hotel (Starwood Luxury Collection property) and had a mediocre bloody mary in the bar. I highly recommend the bar there. It has a total European feel to it reminded me of the bar in the Prince de Galles hotel in Paris. Kevin said it reminded him of the bar in the Westin Madrid. I agree to disagree with him on this. We then ventured out into BFE (bum f%^&# egypt, for those of you who don't what BFE stands for!) for some Chinese food. Since the place did not take reservations we had to put our name down and decided to head across the street to a nice little Irish pub for old time's sake for an apertif. By the time we had dinner, the food was good but then again I was dri-zunk at this point and probably would have thought a bowl of Lucky Charms was the best thing I had ever tasted. Needless to say after drinking since 4 in the afternoon, we made our way back to 355 Berry St after dinner and called it a night. Loooooooosers!

Saturday morning we headed over to the farmer's market at the Ferry Building. It was okay. My bf really enjoys going to farmers markets but I don't really get this whole fixation. I enjoyed a nice piece of fruit from here. We then wanted to head down towards Fisherman's Wharf and decided to ride on the back of one of those bikes that people drive. I grinned like a 12 yr old girl getting winked at the entire time. Lunch was devoured in a little tourist trap called the crab house (3***) and we even got a show from the sea lions while we were there. The sea lions remind me of giant slugs. Do you know what a slug is? I remember when I was a little girl, I used to pour salt on them and watch them shrivel up and die. Ohmygosh, can u say 'devil child!'

Well we putzed around for a little bit after that and then came back to our humble abode with Kev's friends. Nothing cool happened and then we went to dinner. Side note: why does it seem like my life consists of eating food??? Well we went to this awesome place called NOPA for dinner. I. LOVED. IT. The food was so amazing. If you are ever in San Francisco, you have to check this place out. Flatbread. Must. Burger. Must. Pork Chops. Must. End of story.

Now I'm chillaxin and catching up on some much needed tivo time. My new favorite show is Modern Family. Write that down. Busy day awaits tommorrow. I need to find some new shoes for my first day of work on Monday, yay! There are also some fun street fairs I want to check out: Castro Street Fair http://www.castrostreetfair.org/ and Oktoberfest by the Bay http://www.oktoberfestbythebay.com/
Stay tuned and I will let you know how that goes!

Toodles Magoo!!
