I’m feeling a little “delicate” today after coming back to the city from Tahoe at 1:30 am last night. Other than this late night dash across California, this was a fun little weekend. We drove up to Tahoe on Saturday morning for our friend’s wedding weekend. Rob and I made it to Kings Beach and…

It is hot in the city. We’ve been in a two week gradual heat wave building up to 90 degree temps. There’s no air conditioning anywhere; just lots of open windows and iced tea. Despite the heat, this has been a productive week: Hooray for a 3 day weekend! I needed that day off to…

I’ve discovered a trick so good that I just have to share it. The best ever way to get someone to give a really genuine smile for the camera is to utter this magical two word phrase….”Dick Cheney.” I bet just reading that made you smile! I don’t know why it works; but it works…

In about 42 hours, I’ll be in this Tahoe cabin with a hot tub, a pool table and a group of friends. I can’t wait!

Rob and I loved this quirky New Zealand film! Eagle vs. Shark starts on the bizarre side; very Napoleon Dynamite. But towards the end it turns absolutely lovely. A great message about the perfection of loving someone who isn’t perfect. Watch the trailer here. Flight of the Conchord fans will recognize Jemaine as the main…

No, those aren’t my second wedding shoes…but they’re very close! I found an adorable pair of te casan pumps at Loehmann’s on Sunday. My pair is in this same teal suede, but with a much lower heel and an ankle strap. On sale for $89, down from $255. They’re perfect for the vintage theme of…

Dapper young gentlemen, look no further! There are no stores in all of San Francisco that carry ties or bow ties for boys but the internet has come to the rescue! Rainbow Connection has bow ties in 16 colors for $4.95 each.

Sorry about this post being late. I spent the afternoon at the office feeling stressed and generally like a prick. I had a volunteer event after work that I had forgotten about and was dreading. It completely lifted my spirits! I’ve said it a million times before, but helping others absolutely is the best way…

Big, big weekend! I highly recommend having a three day weekend two weeks before your wedding. We checked so many things off the to-do list. On Friday, I had my hair test at the salon. I think my loose curl, low bun look is going to come out really well. Back at home, Margaret came…

Rob and I are at City Hall this morning picking up our marriage license. I’ve never been inside this landmark and I’m so excited! City Hall has been the site of countless happy marriages, from simple courthouse ceremonies to grand affairs. Check out a few on Flickr.
