So much for the best laid plans! Instead of a quiet dinner at home, Rob and I went to a free advanced screening of Smokin’ Aces at the Metreon. This movie includes an all-star cast and has all the makings of a classic bloody gangster film…but falls short in the end. You could almost see…

Tonight’s Ladies Activity Club party is postponed due to the hostess having the flu. This is sad, but then again it give me a chance for a date with my actual boyfriend 🙂 Along with a roast chicken a green salad and some fresh fruit for dessert, I really want to make sweet potato fries.…

Last night was so bizarre! Around 4:30, a producer I worked with before from a cable news channel called up and invited me to dinner with a few other people from the network. Being that my job is, after all, media relations, I accepted despite my concerns that this seemed more like a date than…

Ah, Mexico! It’s been a while since my last fix. I’m booking our tickets to North Carolina this week, but after that trip I think it is time for a vacation down south. Imagine a palm filled courtyard…blue painted walls…bowls full of fresh guacamole…strong margaritas…perfection! Now I just need to find an ideal hotel. I…

(Sorry for the delay, major computer foibles this morning.) We were so lazy this weekend! Rob and I headed straight out to Ben and Stacey’s after work on Friday. We were the first guests to arrive at their mission apartment and helped them finish the tapas. The other guests arrived over the next hour. There…

Rob and I are going to to help Ben celebrate his birthday tonight! He’s our favorite German by far and for the occasion I’ve made a huge batch of chocolate ice cream to bring to the party. I followed this simple recipe from Cuisinart but upgraded it with organic heavy cream and Ghirardelli cocoa powder.…

Hooray! The cold snap in California seems to have ended. It was a balmy 45 degrees on my walk to work this morning. While this is happy news, San Francisco’s winter has really only just started and spring is still several rainy months away. Actual warm weather? It isn’t expected until next September! So all…

I am so tired of my current wardrobe. When I open my closet in the morning, all I see is a sea of turtlenecks. It’s time for a little spring revamping: Dress -I love the colors and length of this simple short sleeved wrap dress from Boden. Plus, it is a pretty reasonable $98. Cardigan…

Urban Outfitters, Hi guys, just a quick note to see if you are all okay. I am concerned because I just saw an email promoting these. Did you realize that you were selling neon teal skinny jeans? Since it is not the 80’s, I have to assume that this is related to some sort of…

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a goodie two-shoes. I hate getting in trouble. That’s why my criminal activities on Wednesday night were such a surprise! Breaking & Entering – My first crime of the evening was sneaking into a private screening of Seraphim Falls hosted by Gen Art at the Westfield. We…
