Instead of blogging I...

...visited my crafty sister and nephews in Las Vegas

(yes, my sister made those costumes)

...checked out Poquitos (w/my friend Mo) in Capitol Hill after a hair appointment

via vivapoquitos.com

...had lunch with my favorite niece and BFF @ Grace Kitchen

(yes, she is the cutest baby ever)

...bought a couple new pieces of furniture for our condo's entryway (here and here)

(the challenge will be putting everything together before Ed returns

from his business trip)

...had lunch with a college friend (Joey) and high school friend (Maria) at Boulette's Larder in the SF Ferry Building

(best paella I've ever had)

... and reunited with high school friends and stuffed myself at a Guam style bbq (in the Bay Area)

(Lena, Maria, Claire, Kulia and me - I can't believe we're in our 30's)

(ribs, chicken, keleguin, lumpia, finadene, red rice, potato

salad, corn soup, fruit salad, pancit, and black tea ++++)
