Hey everyone! Show me what you’ve got in your fridge!
Here’s what I have: Izze Sparkling Juice and Coors Light. Woot! The pomegranate is my favorite and I love the simple but appealing logo. The Coors Light is there because it’s always in my fridge.

Today I had afternoon tea at Leland Tea Company before my Machine Hemming class. As usual, I ordered the tea lunch complete with a turkey and cheese sandwich cut into little triangles, a fresh pot of tea, side salad, bowl of fruit, and madeleines. With my tea, I added some of these Honey Pearls along with a dash of milk. Perfect. For some reason, the silverware, presentation of the food, and packaging and name “Honey Pearls” was very appealing to me so I ended up taking a snapshot of my meal.
My class went rather well and I learned how to do a blind hem (by hand), a machine blind hem, and how to shorten pants while keeping the original hem. I now have a brand new pair of pants to wear to work tomorrow!!
My classes usually get out between 9:30 and 10:00 so it’s pretty late. I usually take a cab home, which costs me about $11 and I get home in a jiffy. For some reason, I was feeling a little adventurous today and decided to save myself $11 and caught the 47 bus home. It was a free ride home (with my Muni pass) but it was pretty sketchy. After a couple of stops, I realized that I was taking the Bum Bus. It goes down Van Ness, past Market, turns onto Mission, goes down 10th street to Bryant and ends up at the CalTrain Station. With each stop, more and more bums got on and the bus started to smell like everyone was overdue for a bath. At Bryant and 5th, pretty much everyone got off and I realized that it was a homeless shelter. I guess they were all heading “home” after a long day out on the streets. One guy insisted on sitting right next to me even though the bus was pretty empty. I guess he wanted to talk to me and he did. I think he was a little crazy…nice, but crazy. So was it worth saving $11? Technically yes but not sure it’s worth the risk of getting harassed by a crazy dude. At least I can say I tried it out and survived to tell the story of how I rode the Bum Bus.
One of my favorites things to do in SF is wandering around the city in search of cute shops. When my family was in town, we walked around Nob Hill to find a cute place called Polk A Dot Stationers. I was digging through the chest of tiny drawers to find a collection of bottles and vials. I came home with these two bottles complete with corks and cuteness. What do I need them for you ask?! Hm…I can use them to store olive oil and balsamic vinegar. How about using one as a bud vase? Perhaps the other one can store and display the white sand I brought home from Thailand. The possibilities are endless!!
Happy Mother’s Day! This year we are away from home and so instead of taking my mom to Lawry’s, I had to just give her a call. That’s a bummer. Thanks for making and bringing all the food a couple weeks ago. I didn’t realize that the Magical House took phone orders!!
I JUST finished sorting and uploading the photos from the weekend when my family came up to visit. It’s always fun to go places with my family and we usually end up with a very well-rounded collection of photos. Here’s a compilation of photos taken by me, Brother, Joy, and Daddy.
This evening, we went down the street to watch the fireworks. A local radio station puts on an afternoon concert every year and then has a pretty cool fireworks show at the end. They closed down The Embarcadero and we got to stand in the street for the show. It was pretty crowded but not unbearable. We took Koa and he didn’t really appreciate all the raucous including all of the motorcycles roaring down the street afterwards. The show was pretty good but I think we missed out on a lot of it because of this big layer of fog hovering over the water. Bummer.
