Urban girl almanac

The windy weather in San Francisco this week has kicked up a big allergy storm. Along with sneezing, I’ve also been rocking some new spring outfits and having a lot of fun. Here are some of the lessons I learned this week:

• It takes a few days to recover from Bay to Breakers.
• Vintage style pumps with a wide heel are really comfortable for 10 hours…and not a minute more.
• Dinner at Jean and Trent’s house are always delicious but usually incorporate more vegetables than can be humanly consumed.
• Ruffled blouses with cap sleeves are perfect for skinny-minnies.
• Putting fresh sheets on the bed always makes me sleep better.
• Lost is such a good show! I can’t wait for next season.
• Straightening your hair is worth the extra effort once in a while.
• Craigslist.com is a really fast place to sell a bike.
• Kickball is so much more fun when your team wins 11 to 6.
• Parting your hair differently than normal can result in a painful “hair-ache.”
• Baking a batch of cookies is very relaxing and makes the apartment smell nice.
• Belts! My new accessory obsession.

I’ve got a busy weekend ahead. Tonight is rock climbing after work and a trip to my favorite Thai restaurant. Tomorrow I’m going shopping with Jean and to the free opera on Saturday. Sunday is carnival and the rest of the weekend is hopefully devoted to rest. Have a great weekend!
