The highlight of my weekend was a free yum sushi dinner on Saturday as a thank you for dog sitting.
Other than that, worked out, cleaned the house/laundry/grocery, studied, and watched He's Just Not That Into You.

Saturday was a ton of fun. We headed out to the wedge to check out the big waves. It took over 2 hours to get there, but was well worth it. Huge waves, incredible surfers. Good times!
Sunday was domesticated bliss day. Home Depot, BB&B, errands, all topped off with a lovely filet minon dinner and a new episode of True Blood.
Friday: Flew up to San Jose, shopped around in Santana Row. Saw the biggest monopoly game ever in a park. Had the best steak dinner eva...Forbes Mill Steakhouse. OMG...it was heavenly.
Sat: Gilroy Garlic Festival galore, ate everything garlic including the ice cream. Ran into Fabio, and got my picture with him. I'll admit I got starstruck with him. Met up with friends & a Nor. Cal knottie for dinner, and ate Morccan food for the first time. Delicious and spicy...drooling over briwatts still.
Sun: Drove up to Napa to visit a couple wineries, first stop Jessup Cellars. It's a free tasting, and they pour heavy here...and they are just happy wine sommeliers. Stopped by Bouchon Bakery to pick up some treats, YUM! Lurked around Bottega to see if Michael Chiarello was out and about. Then went on to more wineries, drank lots and lots of more wine. Then we quickly departed to the San Jose airport....almost missing our flight, but luckily it got delayed. We prayed to the Gods for help on that one since we hit so much traffic on the highway!! A fun-food filled garlicky & wine-o weekend!
Spent all weekend packing and cleaning. We met up with my family in LA for dinner and saw Fiddler on the Roof at the Pantages which was great. Night ended crappy as H got a ticket on the way back for supposedly crossing the double yellow carpool lane even though he didn't. Freakin CHP ruined the night!
We leave tonight for BIL's nicaragua wedding!
read a lot.
ate sushi with some friends.
watched a lot of crappy tv and movies.
nice and relaxing.
