Happy 010110!!
Another year has passed and we finished up 2009 with a 6-course dinner at Jardiniere. I was supposed to work today but at the last minute I was granted the day off. Phew! So we checked around for available reservations and we got a 9pm at Jardiniere, a restaurant that I’ve been wanting to try ever since we moved to SF. The meal was delicious but I was SO stuffed by the end. They also handed out party favors since dinner didn’t end until midnight so we rang in the new year at the restaurant with the live band playing. We missed the fireworks at the Ferry Plaza but judging upon our ride home on Muni, it looked really crowded and crazy.
In review of 2009, the year was filled with many memorable moments and events. We both still had our jobs despite the “Great Recession”, I got to travel to Europe for the first time, and Brother got married! I also started working in Rehab (a move from outpatient) and have the best team a girl could ask for.
Here are the Best, Worst, Faves, and Not-So-Favorites of 2009:
Best Event: I got a new sister AND got to hang out in Hawaii with the family.
Worst Event(s): Saying “see ya later” to a good friend and co-worker.
Best Trip: Eurotrip to ITALY!!!
Worst Trip: Almost getting to Tahoe but getting stuck in Auburn. It wasn’t that bad but it was the worst of the year.
Best Meal: Birthday dinner at Fleur de Lys and meeting Chef Keller
Worst Meal: one of our meals in Florence…Rick Steves is good with sightseeing but not food recommendations
Favorite Moment: Giving a speech at Brother’s wedding reception for the family
Worst Moment(s): Losing my keys for 2 days
Coolest Moment: Sharing McDonald’s fries with Jack while watching Elmopalooza
Favorite New Toy: my iPhone
Funniest New Toy/Gift: an eraser that says “holy crap” from my Secret Santa (apparently I say it a lot)
