i've been back from my latest la adventure for a couple of days now but have spent every second either at PN or unpacking our new apartment. i promised myself i wouldn't let another day go by without writing...something...so here's an update the only way i know how:
- last friday, after a full day of work i high-tailed it to noe valley (i took MUNI for the first time...apparently the j-train and i will get to know each other quite well...think the green line in boston) to get a mani/pedi (la LBN always has a mani/pedi). i seem to schedule manis at inopportune times as i went straight from the nail place to our new apartment - where 7 men unloaded our 24 foot moving truck. that's right - 7 men (check out the photo proof!) we have a ton of stuff but within 45 minutes it was all out of the truck, large pieces were unwrapped and furniture was placed. amazing. i pointed, ABN supplied gatorade and after they left we toasted our new place with a bottle of prosecco.
- saturday am we went to brunch at a place around the corner from apartment we have been staying in since arriving in SF. it's been on our list and we just haven't gotten around to it, so while it will still be walking distance (BN style walking distance...let's just say more than around the corner) from our more permanent home, we wanted to do sooner rather than later. it was yummy - i can't remember the last time we did brunch (oh yes i can, the morning we left boston, with BESTIE and FCR...sad) but really what was the best was sitting and talking to ABN. we've both been busy and a bit cranky so brunch...brunch was good. i then headed to PN for a full day (i worked until close) of selling. did i mention that on thursday i was the number three seller? and on friday i got my first PN card. well, saturday a customer wrote me a thank you note! amazing. and to think, i thought the non-profit world was where i belonged...don't worry...this isn't forever.
- sunday morning ABN drove me to the airport (it took 15 minutes) and i boarded the plane to LA. virgin america...i likey! within two hours i was happily sipping a diet coke at NANI and EDDIE's before heading out to agoura. highlights of the trip included but are not limited to: sitting next to AUNT L at a grownup family dinner (because remember, i'm a grownup), watching GRANDMA make enough potato salad to feed everyone coming to her surprise party, going through boxes of EDDIE history and finally getting that we're never going to get through it all and that's okay, being wished a happy anniversary by NANI's doctor, sitting on my TALLEST friend's balcony with my TALLEST friend and one of the BOBBSEY TWIN cousins and realizing that everyone is growing up, having a "once a social worker, always a social worker" moment, watching the new 90210 while eating a presto chopped salad with my TALLEST friend - the only way to watch the new 90210, getting a manicure while sitting next to TRAC Y ULLMAN, realizing that EVERYONE reads this blog, realizing that living in SF means more opportunities for trips with these types of highlights.
