Sangria Makes Me Sexy

Or the complete opposite... In my head I think the first though! I went back for more. Sangria, that is. If you've followed my blog, you'll remember me blogging about the lethal sangria I drank in the very beginning of my San Franciscan journeys. The name of this place that serves said Sangria is ChaChaCha. They have 2 locations here in the Bay area and now I can say I've been to both. The first, serves up a WAY more lethal sangria (or else last night I just had more help downing the large pitchers of the stuff! :-))

You may be wondering why I'm up blogging about it at 6am on a Saturday? In case you didn't read what time this was posted, yes, it's 6.42am right now. Well after we came home from the sangria shop, Kevin went out with our neighbor Mike (it's his long-time friend) and I decided to stay in cause my eyes were already crossing from the sangria (sometimes I do make smart choices.... I said sometimes! :-)) Well so apparently they went out and went back to Mike's place to play wii and Kevin passed out on the couch. (Is wii the new code word for strip joint?!?! Hehehe, just kidding!) Anyhoo, so I wake up at 3.30 all nervous bc Kevin is not home. I mean this is not Dublin and I know that he can't still be at some bar. (They all close at 2am here.) Plus we also have the bicycle thieves in our neighborhood and I was worried they got Kev. (I know, I'm a super worrywart... I think I get this from my Dad's side of the family. My g-ma is like this too!) So I go in and out of a restless sleep since he is not answering his phone and/or my texts and neither is Mike. Finally, I get a text back from Mike at 6am who is heading out to play golf letting me know Kevin passed out on his couch. Phew! The bicycle thieves did not get him!! A short bit later, Drunky McDrunkard comes rolling in and I put him to bed. But now I can't fall back asleep so I'm telling the whole world about it, lol!! Oh and bc my stomach hurts! It musta been the sangria... which brings me to my next point.

My next point is about my stomach. So I have this belt that I wear when my stomach hurts. (Which usually occurs when I eat too much!) Alissa, you know about this belt... I wore it once when I stayed over at your house not too long ago. It's just a big tight belt but I've found if you eat too much when you put the tight belt on it makes your stomach feel better. KS tells me I am crazy. I guess it does sound a little crazy but it works. I'm telling ya. I once watched some special on tv and it was talking about the woman with the tiniest waist in the world and everyday she would wear this tight corset to shrink her waistline. Apparently, it worked. So I guess my weird belt thing sort of has the same effect. Except for I don't think it shrinks my stomach... Darnit!

I don't know what to do with myself all day. I have to cut back on my shopping cause I got lots o bills to pay right now. I will prolly go to the gym or go running at some point. Oh and I really want to try a cap'n crunch drink from Starbucks. I think I read about it on one of those (many) daily newsletters I get about restaurants/things to do in the city. And I really think I will be a fan of this concoction. Apparently its like a strawberry frappucino (which I've never had) with a shot of hazelnut syrup and some other kind of syrup. I'm going to have to look it up again so I can ask my nice neighborhood barista to whip it up for me. Ohhhh the luxuries of living in the US. I have missed you! :-)

Happy Saturday!!
