a little bit of this and that

listening to: kate nash :: mouthwash ::

on friday morning shauna and i decided to drive to san francisco that night.
'ya know, when our night plans were finished, we would just drive there.
so i picked her up and we did just that... starting at something like 11pm.

luckily she stayed up with me and we ended up talking and laughing the whole way there.
we arrived at 5 something a.m.

when we woke up we got some things done, i cut her hair by the pool and then met up with nicole gerulat ---------------------------->
who showed us a few new places around the filmore district.

one place in particular,  la boulange bakery that had the best of everything a bakery can offer.  at least that is what the girls said since i am no longer able to even think about having gluten.  their organic mint tea was pretty good though.


shauna and i walked around for a while in the boutiques, shops and stores.  if you haven't heard of her, she's pretty talented.  she can make and do almost anything.  in the jonathan adler store, we kept liking things and then i would ask her if she could make it or if together we could make it.  99% it was a yes.

{we left the trader joes peanut butter cups in the car which melted into a perfection of happiness. shauna is displaying this idea she made of just spooning it out of the carton. such a mistake turned good}

we drove around haight and ashbury but luckily she has been to the city enough that she doesn't need to be touristed around.  we made some funny music videos... shauna is a fun girl.  we snacked on my gluten-free finds all day.

at night she was completely fine with my idea of seeing inception!  we grabbed dinner to go (sushi and her BBQ salad) oh my goodness was it good.... (the movie)

i loved that movie.  i am still thinking about it.  i have too many thoughts about it that i probably shouldn't blog about it.  i want to see it again soon so i can piece more of it together.

the next day we both slept in.  i can't describe in words how happy i was when i woke up.  it's been THAT long since i've slept in.  i felt like a new woman.


we think this parking structure was once a hotel.  the ceiling was legit.

so was this lady...

S: "so if this place is so good, then where is everybody?"
M: "it's like, mid-afternoon"
she loved it.

after having a long day of busy things we did, i picked up jackson to take him home!


we drove back after having a huge dinner at my aunt's house in palo alto and are back now.
so nice to be home together.
so there it was, our weekend.
