Another weekend has rushed by and I can't help wondering where it went and why I can't work 4 day weeks...that would just be ideal. I spent the day out in the East Bay - took the BART out tihs morning and went to brunch with Julia, her parents and their group of friends at this fun Mexican spot in downtown Concord. Nothing says Easter morning like bloody marys, chips and salsa and burritos - ha! Uncle Bud picked me up and then we went over to Mickey's for the afternoon. It was great to see everyone, eat and visit. Now I am pretty much exhausted, planted on the couch catching bits and pieces of The Sound of Music (I forgot how truly wonderful this movie is)
I booked a trip back east for the beginning of May. I am so looking forward to it - I am craving being around my sisters, mom, dad, Joanne, Chrissy, Morgan, Carter and the whole crew.
Work has been fairly annoying and a bit ridiculous lately.
I think we are going to start a book club- I am such a dork but am way looking forward to this.
I received a package in the mail from Rosie last week. I couldn't open it right away... I don't know why but the box just sat in my room for days until yesterday afternoon when I opened it on the kitchen floor. It is Jon's black lady Jesus framed picture. I was hoping that it would smell like him as ridiculous as that sounds. Easter was always a special time of year for us (especially considering he didn't believe in it). He would laugh about rabbits laying eggs and I think it was around Easter 2005 when our relationshipg started getting pretty serious. The moon woke me last night - it was so bright and shining right in my room. I will always think of JMA when I see it.
Okay, I must think about falling into bed soon.

Sunday, April 5, 2009
what a weekend!
today was the type of day that just begs you to be outside - it doesn't matter what you may have to do, the sun in shining, it is truly glorious out - hot by SF standards...I should be finishing up my yoga class right now but due to 1) me being not so graceful and 2) horrible with knives, my left hand is throbbing and I know that my downward facing dog would suffer. well, that and the fact that Izabella and I treated ourselves to mani/pedis this afternoon and I cut it a little too close timing wise. So instead, I am posting my first April 2009 blog, listening to my new favorite song (go figure, it's italian- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcrfvP11Hbo), thinking what I am going to make for dinner (it's probably going to be baked veggies - carrots and zuchini and falafel with froyo for desert) and how to spend the rest of this gorgeous day...
yesterday was a marathon day and really SO much fun. I got up and went to the gym, then Iz and I grabbed lattes and headed to Costco. This makes me feel very grown up -which I guess is okay since I am 30.5 -ha. We got some really good stuff. While I was there HB called and asked if I was flexible with our plans. She was in town this weekend for a bachelorette party and we had planned on meeting up for lunch Saturday - I made reservations at this newish place that I have been wanting to try. I knew she had something up her sleeve but figured what the heck - she told me to meet her at a certain address and to dress flowy/comfy. I came home changed and then met her and the girls basically down the street for this crazy class - I will leave it at that...when it was over, she and I walked all of the way to the ferry building. It was so good to have her here and we had much to catch up on. We've both been in similar places that past few months questioning a lot of things and very effected by Jon's death - she had the opportunity to see him just a few days before he died at Jason's service and said that he was so excited about seeing me soon. We had wine and the hours literally flew by. After La Mar (which I loved), we ventured to North Beach and continued our feasting, pouring our hearts out, enjoying SF and cocktails. I really miss the days that we got to see each other more and need to make more of an effort to get to NY. Alessandro's birthday was on Friday- he called me from Florida and we only were able to talk for a few minutes but I kept hearing Italian music in the background and it was making me miss the cruise even that much more. When I got home yesterday, he had sent me the song :) Christina picked me up soon after and we went to her place in the Presidio for her roommate's game night birthday party. We seriously played Cranium, Pictionary, Apples to Apples and Taboo - hilarious. I was exhausted though after day drinking and all the excitement of the day. Today I stayed in bed as long as I possibly could - drinking tea, talking on the phone, on the computer, reading - it was so nice. Chloe, Izabella and I headed down to Union Square where we definitely did some damage at Macy's - I am supposend to be saving money and owe in taxes this year (ugh, but not a big surprise) but it's nice to treat yourself.
