Harry and Pepper

As some of you may know, I sit in front of a computer all day long, while at work. There are times during my day that I have free to check up on News articles. The two news sites that I frequent are CNN and SFGatge. This afternoon I had some down time so I checked CNN and saw a video about two gay penguins at the San Francisco Zoo.

If this video does not make you smile, I do not know what will! Its about love, getting hurt, letting go and making it through a difficult time.

I need some help!

I am trying to make my blog look cute! I am having the hardest time figuring it out! I like the templates on this site, but I would like something different! Any ideas??

Light Bulb

I know that this should have been my first blog but I did not know how to put how I was feeling in to words. I have never thought that I would write a blog. I feel like what I have to say is not that important and/or interesting enough for people to read.

I realized today that my blog isn’t for everyone else, it is for me. I am writing to keep a log of the things that are important to me; things such as my family and friends, what I like to do on my spare time and fun quotes that I want to remember, to account the funny experiences that I encounter, alone or with my favorite people, and to give book and restaurant reviews and of course just to have a place to express my every day thoughts.

I appreciate you for reading my entries, thank you for showing your support!

TL FML

Friend and I believe that the FML website is a joke and the daily "FMLs" are made up so we have come up with our own "FMLs." We call them "TL FML" which stands for "True Life: F My Life."

TL FML...I have been working on a scrapbook and I was on a page that had a few pictures of me with two other girls, Friend and one of her friends. Friend and I have both been told that we look alike and that we could be related...we go along with it and make jokes about it, even though we don't necessarily agree. So, my brother looked at one of the pictures and pointed to one of the girls and asked who she was. I responded by telling him that she was a friend of Friend's. While I was explaining who she was to my little brother, I felt the need to point at Friend to further explain who the other girl was. I pointed at myself! TL FML

Fog City Diner

Last night I went out to dinner with my Big Sis in my sorority. We were trying to decide where to go and I have started to look on open table and yelp for some fun ideas on restaurants.

I was looking for a place that was kind of close to my work because I have to take BART home and want to not be too far from a station. We decided on the Fog City Diner. I always see it on the Embarcadero and want to eat there but never have, so I figured what better place can I go to dinner with a friend?

The Fog City Diner is a glorified diner with fancier “Diner” food. It was really good! We shared this cheese bread that was delicious! I ordered the diner burger and the fries were amazing! We then shared these Ghirardelli peanut butter cups that were amazing! The dessert should have been paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to counter how incredibly rich they were.

It was reasonably priced; it cost me about $25 with tax and tip for my starter, meal and dessert.

It was a delicious dinner and I have no complaints, I would definitely recommend it!

Sushi Groove

Friend and I love sushi-well she introduced it to me and we love to go together. This summer we have been trying to get together at least once a week and do lunch on my break or get together after I am done with work to make dinner and have a sleep over.

Last night we decided to go out to dinner and, of course, we chose to go to a sushi place. I asked a friend at work if she recommended a place in the city and she told me about Sushi Groove in Russian Hill. She told me that it is her favorite place to go and she even recommended a roll.

Friend and I went to the place for sushi after work. It was a little hole in the wall place on Hyde Street. We passed by it when we were driving because it is not clearly marked. We walked in and it is a small little place that is very quaint. The tables were a little close together but it was nice and homey. The waitress was very kind to us and very attentive!

We ordered as a starter: edamame, our favorite roll: the Caterpillar Roll, the Spider Roll and the Pete’s Roll (Which is what was recommended to us). We read the description of the Pete’s Roll were not impressed but decided to get it anyways and it was AMAZING! If you go there, you should order it! It was really good!

After we ate dinner we walked across the street to Swensen’s Ice Cream for a waffle cone-this was delicious and I am not a cone eater J

I definitely give my thumbs up to Sushi Groove and Swensen’s Ice Cream.

Tardiness

I hate it when people are late. I think that it is rude and frustrating especially when there are reservations or other plans involved…which seems very hypocritical for me to say because I am notoriously late! I am not late because I am being disrespectful of other people’s time; it is something that I just can’t help because no matter what I try I am always a few minutes late! I have tried to set all of my clocks fast but I am still late.

I think that the reason why I am always late is because I think that the things I do will take less time than they actually take. I also get distracted easily and like to take my time when doing simple tasks.

My Sweeter always makes fun of me because he knows that when I say 20 minutes, I really mean 30!
Being on time more often is something that I am trying to work on and I am slowly but surly making a more conscious effort to be on time!

All of this said, I am very proud to say that today, not only was I on time- I WAS EARLY to my dentist appoint this morning at 7AM!

Wish me luck! How do you make sure you stay on time?! (I want to know your secrets!)

BART

So today I had a funny and random BART ride.

I walk to BART from my house every morning to get to work. This morning seemed to be a normal morning- I made it to the train I needed to catch to be at work on time and I even got a seat! I was excited, too, because I got to start a new book today! So I sit down and there is a young girl sitting in the seat in front of me. She is listening to her iPod and playing with a rubix cube. She was AMAZING! She would sit there and bob her head to the tune of her iPod and un-do and re-do the rubix cube.

So I continue reading my book and all of a sudden she taps me on the leg and says “Excuse me?” I was thinking what could she have to say to me…maybe she wants to show me how to fix a rubix cube…and to my surprise she says “You have a bug in your hair.” I looked at her and was stunned because that was the LAST thing I was expecting her to say! She then continues to pull it out of my hair and there it was- a little green bug in her hand…

Interesting morning! I knew today would be a Merry Monday!
