Free and Broke

So Friday was my last day at work. It was definitely bittersweet. Emily was so sweet... she got me a beautiful orchid plant, a cupcake, AND a homemade card with a picture of Trooper on it. Best presents ever! We had a team lunch at one of the cafes and I turned all my stuff in around 4 pm. Eric brought Trooper in so I could puppy sit him most of the day. I think I had him for like two hours. Nice! He's probably the sweetest dog ever... very easy going. After, I went to Bld. 50 (as we call the bar down the street) for some last drinks with friends. Well not last drinks with friends... last drinks with coworkers. I left around 7-ish with Emily, Kathy, and Chris in tow. We sang sappy 90s songs the whole way home... it was great. Chris didn't enjoy it as much, but whatever. We had dinner at the Cancun Taqueria in the mission... yum! After, I dropped everyone off and just hung out at home. It was nice and very very chill.

Saturday, I woke up around 11-ish. I got my car an oil change (plus new windshield wipers, new air filter, new license plate lightbulb thingy) and then headed to the Stonestown mall. I got lunch at the Korean place in the foodcourt which was delicious, then lotions from Bath & Body Works (there's a sale! buy 3, get 1 free and if you spend $30 you get a $10 giftcard). After I checked out the Half Yearly Sale at Nordys. I ended up getting a pair of fake Nordstrom brand Uggs (short boots in dark brown), black leather pointy toe flats, and a green canvas/cotton-y jacket. Also, I got Cheech's birthday present! Yay.

I left the city around 7-ish to meet up with Cheech and company for her birthaty at Maggiano's in Santana Row. Dinner was GREAT! It was really yummy... everything is served family style in huge quantities. We got caesar salad, spinach salad, calamari, spinach artichoke dip, spaghetti with meatballs, chicken parmigian, some creamy noodle dish with mushrooms, and salmon on spinach. YUM. For desert we got tiramisu, some apple cobbler type thing, and a cake that Stef brought for Cheech! There were 11 of us total: Cheech, Chris, Stef, George, Lenny, Will, Jen, Young, George, George's gf Karen, and me! After dinner I was so stuffed and tired (it was raining so the drive down sucked) and decided to head back to SF. I got home around 12:30 am and watched Reno 911: Miami and just played my DS. Very lame but relaxing.

Today I did absolutely nothing. I had McD's for lunch, was so bored I fell asleep on the couch, read The Subtle Knife (Golden Compass #2 book), and watched tv. Ellen made AWESOME shrimp tacos for dinner and after Ellen, Phill, and I headed to the Metreon to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D!!! So fun... BUT. When we got to the theatre, there were COPS everywhere... and that yellow tape. The main entrance to the theatre was closed off... but we decided to park and see if the theatre was open anyway. Turns out there was a SHOOTING inside the Metreon. Which seems like the most terrible idea since the Metreon is super crowded on a regular day AND there is the Oracle convention going on right behing the Metreon. Yikes. But the movie thetre was still open. We saw clothes and blood on the floor near the ticket counter. Yikes. I guess I'll read about it tomorrow morning. After the movie, we got McD's ice cream and watched the show Jon & Kate Plus 8. It's about this family... they have one set of twins and a set of SEXTUPLETS. Yeesh... I don't know what I'd do if I had 8 kids... I'd probably tear all my hair out.

And now... I'm just watching tv. It's hella late for me to be awake... but since I don't have work tomorrow, I can do whatever I want! Woo! So, back to the Simpsons and The Subtle Knife.
