Urban Girl Almanac: Fresh Air

This has been a strange week. Make that a strange, paint-fume-filled week. Here’s what I learned in between dizzy spells:

• Floor sealant is nasty stuff.
• People on the #22 bus are reading Swan’s Way, The Guggenheim’s, Northern Gothic and Geek Love.
• I heart Truly Mediterranean.
• Sutro Heights Park is one of my new favorite places.
• This shirt rocks in grey with a pair of dark jeans.
• You need to peel the paper backing off these letters before ironing.
• The beach is not called “the shore” in North Carolina.
• I love walking at night in my neighborhood. It’s so quiet but busy at the same time and there are so many things to see.
• I am obsessed with the PBS show, Windsor Castle: A Royal Year. It makes me want to work in a castle or really any historic location…and convinces me that I should buy no less than half a dozen corgis.
• My cousin is getting married at this Sausalito church in October.
• I had a dream about opening a restaurant called “Emily’s House of Cheese” that would serve fondue, grilled cheese sandwiches, macaroni and cheese and all other delicious dairy things. Mmm.
• If you have $700,000 lying around, you can buy this TIC on Noe Street near my house.
• Brown purses: everyone has a favorite to share!
• Only 7 days until the Masterpieces of French Jewelry show at the Legion of Honor!

It’s supposed to be sunny and warm this weekend. My mom is going to be in the city for a short visit on Saturday and Rob and I may drive up to Bodega Bay to look at some property on Sunday. Have a great weekend!
