a lovely weekend spent hanging out with ABN’s cousins and aunt and uncle.  brunch has got to be the best meal – i mean you get the best of everything – and you still get to end with dessert.  there was also time spent reading, watching the olympics and you know, eating burritos – because a weekend in SF would be incomplete without one.  ABN and i got up early yesterday and after dropping the remaining cousin at the airport we walked up to the top of TWIN PEAKS and looked down at our city.

i’m spending the day catching up on the work i let pile up this weekend.  i’m eye-ing the small pile of envelopes and packages that are collecting on our doorstep for my birthday.  tomorrow, in honor of my 29th (holy shit) it will rain (as it should) and i will take myself to a chick flick in the afternoon before dinner with ABN at a place that’s been on our list since we first landed here.  then it’s time to gear up for another few days in LA and oscar viewing with NANI.

it’s no secret (to me) that i read A LOT of fashion blogs (dude, i really need to update my links!).  i find it super fascinating what people who i don’t know are wearing.  i like to see what they pair together and where they find their best finds.  so today, in honor of my fashion blogs, i’m taking a little (tiny) fashion risk of my own.  i’ve got this dress (that is like 7 times too short) that i think looks better as a skirt so i’ve thrown on a long sleeve tshirt over the top.  it’s a bit bulky (i blame the tshirt – it wasn’t my initial choice but i dribbled milk down the front of first one i threw on) but i’m loving that it’s style i sorta made up myself.  if you’re lucky – i’ll post my first outfit pic tomorrow.

stay tuned…
