Row, Row, Row your boat...

Last weekend was sooooo much fun...on Friday...Tony and I were suppose to drive to Big Sur...unfortunately all that Turkey made me too sleepy...and i didn't get up early enough to go...basically ... its a long drive...so we were going to go to Berkeley... then decided to drive to Monterey instead... it was about a 2 hour drive... with Starbucks in between... I recommend getting a Grande... even if you NEVER do... anyway after that...we bought our lunch in Safeway (Monterey is WAY too expensive) ... we headed to the boardwalk first...was cool there was a really cool candy store...and they were making Salt Water Taffy and wrapping it in this CRAZY little machine...i never took a video...wish i did but it was really fast...it was like something from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory good times... we walked to the end...of the board walk where we could see out into the sea. There were sea-lions and sea otters...AWESOME...how much fun it would be to be a Sea-lion...just layin' on a big ole rock all day...until its time to eat of course... but yeah...we headed to Cannery Row...with our sandwiches to watch the Christmas Tree Lights to get switched on...totally Cliche American of course...carol singing...reindeer's... as cheesy and corny as it was....its Christmas... and it was pretty cool...I wanted something for desert... but we waited til we got home... I had a brainwave.. PIZOOKIE!!!!!!! hahahaha Yummmmmmy ... so we got back to San Francisco and we made pizookie... IT WAS AMAZING... for those of you who do not know what a pizookie is... its a Big cookie...but its not cooked the whole way through...so its not quite done...and goo-ee and soft and so damn good! so you fire some ice cream on top... Delish! :) ... Long day it was very tiring...alot of driving...so i slept goooooooood :)

The next day... i was going to blog about Monterey...but then i figured meh...i wanna do something awesome... so i was going to Golden Gate Park... and Tony mentioned pedalo's and row boats somewhere there... so we went! we got a row boat...with the sneak of some beer on there too :D woohoo...tony read his comics...GEEK and i row'd row'd my boat around the little stream :) it was fun...that night we went and had cocktails in a place called Olive...its in the Tenderloin...I mean RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE...wow is it hidden...its so nice inside like a totally different world. Anyway fun times to be had...Dave came too which was coolio :D anyways...my dinner's just arrived at my table here so...I'm gonna go eat... if anything exciting happens ... you're the first to know...(probably)

Peace

Farewell Karyne

So yesterday my dear friend Karyne had a farewell party. She's going back home to Brazil. She came out for my 21st and I love that she was a part of it. She is the coolest ever...I'm going to miss her so much so Cheers Karyne! I forget the Portuguese word for Cheers so... We were spose to have her party in Golden Gate Park but it was too cold so we went to Vantaggio O'Farrell, (where my crib used to be) it was fun. Diogo was there and Mariana came later. I met loadssa other people too ... it was fun...they made hot dogs...and Brazilians crush crisps (chips for my american readers) over the hot dog? YUMMY t'was good. Then the Brazilian music started...of course they had me up dancing...or making a brave attempt at it! 'Just samba, Just Samba' HAHA good one! Anyway like I said, it was sad to say goodbyes...i'll never forget her...she's a legend :)

Thanks Karyne x
