i had my facial cherry popped...

Yes, I finally gave in to temptation and had a facial. It was UH-mazing! Seriously... I cannot believe I was missing out on this most wonderful, glorious adventure in life. O-K, I get it, melodramatic. That should be my middle name. Blogglehead Melodramatic Yeager. There's quite a fine ring to it if I do say so myself.
Anyhoo, so I feel like I've been going through a bit of a midlife crisis. Which is ridiculous, I know. I mean for crying out loud, I'm 28 years old. I'm still a good 7 years away from cougarville! It's probably just winter but it's left my skin feeling dry and icky. And in all my 28 years of infinite wisdom, I've been blessed with quite good skin and never really had a lot of breakouts. Not so recently. I've had a little pal named Gary (yes, I watch Family Guy) hanging out with me for the past week. And I was sick and tired of having Gary tool around with me all day every day. I said, "Gary, I've had enough... I'm going for a facial and getting you off my face!!"
So I wake up and go for my typical Sunday morning run. PS - can I sidenote and tell you how flipping much I love living in California?!?! I do. It's a week away from Christmas and I went running in a pair of shorts and long sleeve shirt and was still toasty. I don't know how I've never found this place called Heaven before now! Back to business, so I get home from my run and call to make a facial appt and the lady says she can get me in right then. So I stroll on over to this place I found which is only a few blocks from my house and has reasonably priced facials.
I just can't stop raving about it. She put masks on me, massaged my face, scrubbed, extracted (DID NOT like this part however!), more masks, lotion, etc. Pure bliss. Give me more, more, more. (I know, I'm a sick perv if you are catching onto my analogy here, whatev... you liked it! :-))
Toodles magoo!

The only good thing about Sunday is...

bloody mary's, sushi sunday, and running. But maybe not in that exact order!

No matter how hungover I am or how much I dread going for a run on a Sunday, I am always extremely pleased when I do. It's amazing how a little adrenaline boost can completely alter your outlook on the day. I really enjoy going for a little jog along the embarcadero. I am lucky that we live so close to such an amazing running path. I know its really cliche and lame to say but running seriously is my drug of choice. And I highly do not recommend hanging around me for too long if its been more than a few days since my last fix. 'Cause honey that just ain't pretty!!

Sushi Sunday is a new ritual that KSong and I have started up in the Yeager/Song household. We've found this really good sushi place that delivers. Yum! So we've been doing this the past few weekends and I think the raw fish is doing wonders for my skin. Double bonus! :-) Right now we are currently waiting for our sushi sunday to arrive. Hurry up, buster I'm starving!! And this is how I enjoy ending the best part of Sunday.

Hold up though, because I've side-stepped and forgot to mention my favorite, favorite, favorite part of Sunday... the bloody mary part! Yippee, yi yi yeah! The devourment of a bloody mary usually occurs post-run on Sundays. I don't really have a super fave place that serves these scrumptious libations; however, we did find a pretty snazzy concoction of a bloody mary today at 21st Amendment. Seriously, this thing came with like a giant pickle. I will not tell you what it looked like, let's just say Kevin has reaffirmed that I am a total perv! :-) Anyhoo we will continue to try as many different places as possible until we find that perfect 10 of a bevvy!

Oooh, gotta go sushi has arrived. Happy Sunday!!

All I Want for Christmas is...

Dear Santa,

If you would like some ideas on what to get me this Christmas, please read my wish list below. I promise I've been a very good girl this year!!

Foot massager from Brookstone:

I found this foot massager when my parents were in town and we were out doing some shopping. I told the woman I had a foot rubbing fetish (what I meant to say is I am obsessed with having my feet massaged.) Saying you have a foot fetish in front of your parents = that's not embarrassing in the slightest! :-) They also a version that is about $150 dollars cheaper than this one. Santa, I would take that one as well!!

Because you can never have too many technological devices and ever since I became a Cali girl, I try to do my part in making the world a bit more of a greener place! Other friends, please note I have not turned vegan. Yet... (Total jk by the way, I don't discriminate against foods.)

What? Is it really that bad if I ask Kevin's boss to make him work on Xmas this year?!?! :-) For those of you who don't know this story and would like to... please just ask!

I am also a practical woman and there are many other gifts that I would love love love, just as much! Thank you Santa!! I will leave the milk and cookies out for you!

Battle of the Best Pick-Up Lines

Hey hey hey, I'm baaaack!! :-) So since I haven't been making/taking the time to blog too much lately, I've realized that life has been quite depressing without my old blogaroo! I am really going to work on getting my act together and beginning to tell you all my secrets again. After all, its like having a virtual best friend... WITH the entire world!

So today I had to drop Don & Faye off at the airport to head back towards good ole Indiana. (Huge shout out to D&F - thank you SO much for coming to visit and I am sorry your travels are going to take you about 9 hrs to get home. Dear Delta - you suck!) Anyhoo so I drop them off at the airport and am walking home in horrendous rainy weather when oh but the pretty Mr. Sun decided to come out. There's a dodgy looking man (not old, not too young) and I decide to arch my umbrella so that I can avoid making eye contact. He is basically bending over to peek under my brella and he's like 'Excuse me miss, can I be like Tiger Woods and get with a caucasian woman today?' I could not help but bust out laughing. I have to admit that was a good one. It kind of turned my frown upside down. This comment also prompted me to think of swell comeback lines I could have said. (I wasn't very original by laughing and saying negative ghostrider aka: Andrea simply says 'no'!) But I was thinking afterwards, I wonder what the guy would have said if I would have told him 'but I'm a man' (said in a real manly voice!) And then I thought you are weird, Andrea and that I have been in San Francisco for too long when I am thinking of coming back with comments like that. I dunno, I had a lot more fresh comments in my head directly after it happened but then I came home and napped and forgot all of the witty things I wanted to write to you in my blog. Woops, sorry!!

I am going to force myself to go get on the treadmill now I think. Ate a little too much grub over the past couple of days with the parental units in town. Chances are I might end up skipping. :-) Tommorrow is a new day and I will start my holiday workout diet then. Or probably not at all, diets are for wussy's! Tis' the season.... now where is that peppermint chocolate martini?!!?! :-)

That's what she said...

Hola! Dear friends, I do apologise that I have not written in quite some time. In all, all, ALLL honesty I truly have been a busy little butterfly. And you know, we all have more important things to do around the holidays other than blog and blog some more. Like shopping. I bought myself an early Christmas present on Black Friday. Do you want to know what it was??? A Longchamp bag. That I call my new gym bag. Yes, $150 for a gym bag. I like to think of myself as a practical woman. Wouldn't you agree?!?! :-)) Anyhoo other than shopping my life away, I've been logging in a lot of hours at work. (At least I am working hard for my earnings!) I've been working at one of our sister properties for the past week. It was a lot of fun. I was on the PM shift so that wasn't too much fun but the upside to it was that I got to hit all the good classes at the gym during the day. Score... cowabunga! Today I went for my first dim sum experience. It was quite yummy if I do say so myself. I'm not necessarily a huge fan of Chinese food (please refer back to my fpbs incident if you need more details!) however I am still full about 8 hours after my dim sum experience so that makes a happy noodlehead. (Noods is my nickname from college; I actually gave it to myself. Go figure!) Now it's 'Sushi Sunday' evening and I'm enjoying a nice glass of cab while anxiously awaiting the finale of Desperate Housewives this evening. Although, from the previews of it I have to say I am afraid that it may prove to be a bit disappointing. Why do I say this, well because all roads lead to believe that there is going to be a plane crash in the finale. And A)I desperately (no pun intended) hate the thought of airplane crashes and B)I just think it's going to turn out to be a bit Lost'ish. (Note: I think Lost is a completely ridiculous television show.) I used to enjoy it but then it just became so, oh I don't know the word I'm looking for is, say far-fetched. Lame wording, I know. It must be that damn cab talking!! So I just thought I would send a nice little shout out to my virtual world followers as I've unintentionally been avoiding you for over a week or two now but please know that I still hold you all dear in my heart. Big hugs and kisses. The sushi has arrived! Yum!
