I’ve been lacking on the posts lately, I know. But in my defense it’s simply because I have been so incredibly social lately. I’m just too popular to be blogging all the time anymore.
No but really. Last week was crazy. On top of being so stressed at work I may cry (I often forget that this is the time of the year that bathroom stress crying happens. A lot. I’m working on it I swear.) So here’s the recap:
Monday: Dinner with an old friend, Jenny who recently made the move from La La land to the bay area. We had delicious tapas and re-lived college stories. It was so great to see her in my hood and I’m totally stokked to have her around!
Tuesday: My first San Francisco Giants Game!
Such a beautiful stadium!
Please excuse the poor quality cell phone photo. I’ve been pretty terrible about bringing my camera lately. Either way the game was a total blast. We sat behind home plate, and I was completely shocked at the vast amount of people who were actually decked out in Giants gear! I felt extremely out-of-place in my jeans and t-shirt. The stadium was also FULL on a Tuesday night, even though the team was losing. I really had an amazing time. I cannot wait to go to my next game in that stadium.
Sidenote – this game was immediately following the SF 49ers vs. Oakland Raiders game the previous weekend. I attended that with Joanna. While there we witnessed 3 major fistfights in the stadium, 1 in the parking lot, someone walking over the top of the car, (while Joanna was driving!) and the two shootings (which luckily we did not see). Thus, I like the Giants so far. Less likely to get stabbed, thus a more pleasant experience.
Wednesday evening I had dinner with coworkers at a new restaurant in my neighborhood, Scratch. The location is amazing, the food was okay, and the wine was phenomenal. They had a very extensive wine list of reasonably priced California wines, and I definitely was digging the ambiance. I’ll probably go back, but this time just for the wine 
Friday I went to my very first country music concert. As it turns out my friend from college, Gaby was visiting the area, and all my girlfriends got tickets to this concert. I pitched a fit because I wasn’t initially invited – simply because my friends know me well and assumed that I would have been offended at the offer to go to a country concert – but either way I bought a ticket and decided that it was worth it to spend time with good friends. We saw Sugarland:
And they were awesome. In all honestly it was probably the least “country” of any country band I could have imagined. There was no twang, no banjo, no cowboy hat or plaid shirt. They were great live performers and I bought their album on iTunes as soon as I got home. Though I’m not quite converted to country music, I did have a great time and will not hesitate as much next time I’m invited (or invite myself to) a country music concert. The people watching alone is worth it!
Saturday I got my hair did. And then I cried. The lady gave me bangs without asking if I wanted them, and I sort of hate them a lot. I can’t get used to constantly having my hair in my face:
Ugh. Please excuse the awful photo taken at BevMo while waiting to pick up a keg for Saturday night’s party. Classy lady, I know.
Apologies for the schizophrenic blog post, and I promise to resume to the normal stuff sometime this week, or perhaps next week after I return from DISNEYLAND!
