Brrr!

I guess I should stop complaining about how cold it is and accept that it's officially winter!

Also what is up with the wind! Kind of scary!

Run run run!

I am going to try on wedding dresses this Saturday so I have been on a mission to exercise this week! Tom, Emalie, and I ran after work in the dark! Luckily we found good surface streets to run on! I ran the whole way with them! 3.5 miles non stop! Woohoo! After the run, I had a lovely salad...with a side of spaghetti and sausage! haha!

Photo bomb!


Went to get a much need mani today! I was taking a picture of my pretty nails and it looks like I got photo bombed by Jacoby! haha! He learned from the best! My claim to fame for a long time! haha!

Let the eating continue!

Finished off the 4 day weekend with dim sum! Went to run with Tom and both had a craving for dim sum afterward. It was so good!

Later in the day I got to see my soon to be nephews show off their ring bearing skills and was quite impressed! They seem to be super excited! haha! They'll be the highlight of the wedding!

More family time!

Spent the day lounging around and hanging out with my family. We continued the eating weekend by...eating! haha! Had some leftovers and spent a lot of time on the couch!

Jacoby loves these lazy days especially when my brother is in town. My brother is his favorite! haha!

Went bar hopping around SF and drank just the right amount! hahaha!

It was fun to hang out with all of Tom's siblings and my sibling!

Pumpkin Pie!


Went to help Emalie (Tom's sister) bake pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving! I was pretty excited since I had never made pumpkin pie from scratch. I think they turned out super good and was super happy to be able to have them at our Thanksgiving!

Prepping for Thanksgiving!

Went to Trader Joe's to get groceries for Thanksgiving! Not only for Thursday but also for my work pre Thanksgiving potluck! I was making my mac and cheese! Yummy!

I love this holiday!

Sunday = Baking!

I think I'm starting a new tradition! Baking on Sundays! I wanted to bake more cookies since my batch last week was a little too toasty. I think this week they came out perfect! Yummy!


As you can see, I started munching on them before I could even get a picture! haha!

Baby Shower!


Today was Tom's sister in law's (and my future sister in law) baby shower! She's having a girl so everything was wonderfully pink! Had a lot of good food and drinks! Highlight of the day was hanging out with Tom's nephew. I think we bonded! But watching a 4 year old is exhausting! haha!

Friday, November 18, 2011

Cheers!

Went out to Mezcal for dinner with Tom, Kim, Nick, and a few of his friends then went to the Fairmont for some drinks! We were celebrating Thanksgiving and Kim's belated birthday! It was good to see everyone and hang out! I love the holidays!

And I think I've found my favorite pic after tonight's game! hahaha!

Sometimes you have to splurge!


I usually don't eat pizza 2 times in a week (even if I want to) but I just couldn't help it! I found out Patxi's just opened up in Campbell last week so I had to check it out. Went with Tom, his dad, his sister, and his nephew for a wonderful dinner out! The deep dish pizza is sooooo good! I recommend everyone go and try it!

Early Christmas presents!

Look who got presents! Jacoby and Gio both got santas! Aren't they so lucky! Guess they've been extra good boys this year!

I love pizza!

Went to Pizza Bocca Lupo in San Pedro Square Market with Tom today to watch some Monday Night Football! This place is quickly becoming one of my favorite pizza places! They have one of the best margherita pizzas ever! So good!

Baking and football!

Spent all day watching football!

I needed to do something productive so I baked cookies! They got a little too brown (got distracted with football! haha!) but still good! I rescued them from the oven just in time!

Wonderful way to spend the day!

Birthday feast!


Tonight we celebrated my mom, dad, and brother's birthdays by having a feast! Grilled some meat and other goodies and ate a lot! We also had an amazing cheesecake and great sparkling wine! So stuffed! A wonderful way to celebrate the birthdays of the people important to me!

Movie date!

Watched Gnomeo and Juliet with Tom and his nephews! The movie was super cute and I think the boys enjoyed it! And thanks to Netflix, we can watch it over and over!

Great way to spend a Friday evening!

P.S. Thank you to all the veterans!

P.P.S. Happy 11/11/11!

Spoooooky!


Went running today and forgot how dark it gets now thanks to Daylight Savings time! Went right after work and by the time we were done, it was pretty dark and it was barely 6pm!

P.S. Happy birthday to my brother!! We will celebrate this weekend!

Yay MNF!

Went to Yard House to watch Monday Night Football! They have happy hour for the whole duration of the game! I always forget how big their portions are but I think we did a good job!

Also thanks to fantasy football I was rooting for both teams! haha! But I only won 2 out of 4 leagues again this week! Can't get over that .500 mark! Argh!

Sunday, November 6, 2011

Thank goodness for Daylight Savings time!

Thanks to a slight hangover and cold weather, I stayed home in pjs pretty much all day! haha!

And with Daylight Savings I felt super rested and excited for an extra hour of sleep! Yay!

Drinking on Caltrain is always bad!

Took the caltrain up to SF with Tom, Kat, and Debbie! We polished off 2 bottles of wine on the way up and then met up with Jackie and Cliff and his friends at Public House!

Then moved onto 21st Amendment for more drinking! I don't think any of us intended to drink as much as we did! haha!

Had a really fun night...as you can tell by this picture! haha!

Friday, November 4, 2011

Rest day!

Didn't do anything today at all! After work, just came home and played with Jacoby! I was happy for a quiet Friday in!

Happy Birthday Dad!

It was my dad's birthday today! We didn't do anything too special! Just dinner at home and this yummy mango cake! I love birthdays!

Wednesday, November 2, 2011

Family dinner!

Tom came over to dinner at my aunt and uncle's house to meet some family members! We brought Jacoby with us and ohh boy! My aunt and uncle have a maltese named Josh who is suuuuuper scared of Jacoby! I felt so bad for him! He went into hiding and Jacoby roamed around the house like he owned it! Played with all of Josh's toys and ran around!

No wonder when we got home, he was super tired! Haha! I was too busy to take a picture of the bullying so this picture will have to do!

I had a lot of fun having Tom meet new family members and having them meet Tom! I think it went well!

Back to running!

 Went running today! Trying to get back into the running habit! Had a hard time working out after the 12k which was forever ago!

But must get back into a workout routine! Only 7 months until the wedding!
