Blue!

 
I needed some cheering up so what cheers me up (besides my dog)? Some much needed retail therapy! Malls can be so soothing sometimes. I feel much better now!

Meet Gio!

Tom adopted a dog today from the Humane Society of Silicon Valley! Gio (well his original name was Tito)! He's a boxer and such a cutie! Yay! Happy day!!

 

Also this is my 100th post! Wow! I've been doing this blog for 100 days! 

I miss my TV!

My TV is broken! Wahhhhhhhh! It's currently at the service shop getting fixed. I cannot believe it's broken! I feel so empty!

So in order to save myself from boredom, I decided to catch up on my magazine reading.

Note to self: Don't ever buy a Samsung Plasma again! Ugh!

My essentials!

 

Cheese, bread and wine are my food essentials! The charcuterie was a nice plus! Yummy!

Alice's Summerthing!

Went to a free concert in Golden Gate Park which was sponsored by Alice 97.3 with Kat! Got there in time to see One Republic and polished off 2 bottles of wine!

Then tried to catch a cab to go eat at Cha Cha Cha but ended up walking the 1.5 miles to the restaurant. I thought I was going to die of starvation!

On the way we made a pit stop at a random Irish pub! We invented a drinking game to chug our beers! haha! 

Once we got to the restaurant, we ordered several tapas and a half pitcher of sangria. We were so drunk and so full that we had to take the sangria "to go" in my thermos! Hahaha!

Wine, wine, and more wine!

I love when my brother visits! Not only because it's good to see him, but because everytime he comes over he brings wine! And lots of it! It's one of his perks for working at BevMo in the wine buying department! So exciting to see the different kinds of wines he brings.

Pretty toes!

I finally used my Groupon from several months ago for a mani/pedi! The place was mediocre but the Groupon was such a good deal, I didn't mind.

The one thing I did like was that they had Essie nail polish!

One of my favorite things about summer is getting pedicures! They are the best thing ever! So relaxing!

Music in the park!

What a random night! Originally Kat, Tom and I wanted to check out Music in the Park because tonight was a Beatles tribute band! So we went to grab some food at a couple of food trucks then went bar hopping around downtown before heading over to the concert.

We went to a wine bar for wine tasting and got stuck chatting it up with the wine distributor and the owner of the bar. I thought it was informative but was a total buzz kill!

After that we went to a bar set up outside of the concert area to hear some songs and then went to McCormicks & Schmidt which has the best happy hour menu EVER! Fun night!

Worst Netflixer Ever!

I really suck at Netflix! I got my DVD a few days ago and finally opened it today! Didn't even know what movie it was! I am happy to report it's Kick Ass (yay a movie I wanted to watch!).

In the past year, I believe this is only 3rd DVD! haha! And one of them was reported lost because I returned the wrong DVD (thanks a lot Tom!).

So basically they've been taking my money! I guess I better start watching some movies!

P.S. Today's Red Sox loss was sooooo bogus! 

I heart social media!

I got 2 free tickets to try this new frozen "yogurt" place in dtsj called Whipps, courtesy of Dishcrawl! I got the tickets through Twitter!

They have this machine that takes frozen fruit and whips it to get a smooth consistency! It's really like ice cream/frozen yogurt but it's all just fruit! It was so good (especially with this heat) and actually really good for you!

Before that, Tom and I went to partake in happy hour and got a free appetizer for checking in on Foursquare at Firehouse Bar & Grill !  Social media is awesome!

I'm melting!!!

The story of the day is the heat! Today was in the low 90s and tomorrow is going to be even hotter! Ack! I hate the heat! Sweaty Lydia = Grumpy Lydia!

Happy Father's Day!

We had a low key Father's day since my brother wasn't coming home until next weekend.

So my mom and I asked my dad what he wanted for dinner. His answer...chicken wings! haha!

Girls Night Out Part 2!

Kat and I went out for our monthly girls night out! It was such a nice day, we started the evening sitting outside with margarita sangria swirls!

Then went walking around downtown Campbell!

Fun night!

Beeeeeer!

Took the day off to check out the Anchor Steam Brewery in SF! It's a really awesome tour! You get to see each step of their beer making process and then we got samples! Lots of samples actually!

Had a great day in the city!
