Finally

Finally some internet connection!... cause I'm at Google. I don't have any at my new house!!! Okay well I do but haven't figured it out yet and haven't asked. Last Thursday was my first night in SF and it's been nothing but experiences since then. I got there, unpacked my car made my bed and was like now what?! So I went for a walk, destination Cafe Gratitude. It was nice, the food is okay, nothing I couldn't make myself for cheaper but still, the environment is nice :) The girls are really sweet. They asked me the question of the day... What do you excel at? My quick answer was "Well I made really good bread pudding today!" So we chatted about that for a bit. Actually the bread pudding I made was AMAZING!! With coco de leche, orange extract, vanilla,extract and slight bit of almond extract and tofu, soy creamer and soy milk. The outcome was soooo freaking good!... I made everyone try it and people are still talking about it today :) Anyway enough about bread pudding already.
Friday I went to Hollister after work loaded up my car and headed back up North, stopped in SJ and did some damage and Aritzia, Bare Escentuals and Forever 21. Then headed home to unpack my car and chat with my new roomate Jasmine for a bit before bed.
Saturday I woke up so early to catch BART to Embarcadero where Cory and I volunteered cooking breakfast at the huge Farmers Market! BART was cool except haha I didn't know that they all go either one way or another so was waiting for one that said Embarcadero, which would be my stop. Luckily Cory filled me in on that only after waiting 30 minutes, so I got on the next train and was only half hour late but we both got there around the same time. The breakfast was cool, 300 people in 3 sessions, I made 30 beautiful fruit plates, did some dishes and other random stuff. Afterward Cory and I delivered all the extra donated produce back to the vendors and I got to meet some farmers :) Then went for some beers! Took BART home, this one was a long walk and I had to pee so bad then finally a nap! It was a perfect Saturday morning/afternoon. Follwed by one of the worst Saturday nights :( I still couldn't figure out how to work my shower so I had to take a bath, washing ur hair in the bath is nothing but awkward. Andy was coming to visit. I walked out to my car to get my purse and buy cigarettes and I was like Where the hell is my car?! It was not where I left it so I just kept walking realizing that it totally got towed and letting it sink in. I ran into Andy! And told her what happened so basically after that our mission was to get my car back. Neither of us even knew what to do? FYI you call the police. So we headed to 7th street to get it at a place called Auto Return (how cute). We probably turned around 10 times trying to head the right direction, passed it twice and finally I jumped out and walked into the Auto Return, 5 mintes, $238 plus a $75 parking ticket later I was driving out of the lot. Andy was somewhere else so I gave her quick directions and said Meet you at my house. I get on the phone and talk to an old friend actually our first convo in probably 7 years and proceed to get lost cause I'm not paying attention. Call Andy to see where she is and then make her lost. Basically we both get to my house around 11pm. We decide to walk down to Mission to get food and drinks. Not as easy as it seems when it's dark and you don't know where things are but we landed up eating good pizza then drinks at the Beauty Bar. The night was bleh but okay, it was good to see Andy and to have a partner for all that. Next time will be way better.
Sunday I slept in then got up without showering cause I still didn't know how to work it and went for a walk to get food. Ended up on Valencia at Herbivore, which reminds me of Veggie Grill. Ate a burrito and went around the block to Whole Foods for dinner stuff. I saw this girl riding a bike with a cart and some asked her what she was selling Vegan Sausages on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays!! How cute. She said she bought it online and it was super hard to pedal. As soon as she was gone I realized I should have talked to her, at least introduced myself, maybe bought a sausage and asked if she ever needed help cooking. (I'm trying to make friends). Maybe I'll see her next weekend... Also on Valencia is Buffalo Exchange, so I stopped in there and got 2 dresses, talked to the manager and picked up an application. Then I realized it was wishful thinking. That was my weekend :) Minus 2 really big life changing things that came up but more on all that later. It feels weird to be going home there. I think tonight the 2 guy roomates who I've only see pictures of (!) are coming home from riding their bikes to LA for the AIDS run and Jasmine comes home from Chicago. So it will be interesting to have a full house. Gonna go see what the PM crew has made for dinner tonight.... It's the Pits is the theme (stonefruit). Then a shorter than usual drive to my new home...

I got my car towed twice in a month! It totally sucks and got stuck with the same dues as you! It was good to talk to you on Sat, even though I was a little tipsy. But we should get together this week for some grub and a drink. Take care!
