The Daily Sabs

This afternoon Melissa and I made a fun run to daly city. We're doing
a booth at blogher this year, and not to giveaway any spoilers, but
we've got some awesome tricks up our sleeves. These tricks involve
both candy and funny props, and since there's not enough time in the
week, we made a prop/candy run on the weekend.

Originally it wasn't going to be an outing, but then I discovered that
my prop run was near her candy run and so we made a date out of it. DK
texted saying she'd join, but it was too late we were already in daly
city. So afterwards we met her for lunch at nopalito. Yum!

Ps. It's hard to see, but Melissa has on a fuzzy tiara and dk is
wearing Minnie mouse ears.

This afternoon dk, Melissa, and I headed down to menro park for a
social media seminar marketing meeting speech listening mingling
thing. It was somewhat informative but also made me glad to hear that
we're on the right path. It was great to hang out with these ladies
and it makes me so sad that the only way we can do it is if we have to
go to a work thing.

In other news I let a stranger do my lip makeup on the street today.
They looked official and gave me samples and coupons for my fave
lipsgloss, so I couldn't really just walk in by.

Ps. I almost forgot to post today because as soon as I came home I
started emailing and working for a few hours to catch up for leaving
work early. Sux.

In case you didn't know, the main jelly belly factory is in Fairfield,
ca -- about an hour away from sf. Although we both grew up in the
area, neither dk nor myself had ever been. For some reason we brought
this up at work and Melissa said she also wanted to go. So we went.

This morning dk picked us up and shuttled us all to fairfield. We
learned how jelly bellys are made (but sadly did not see them being
made as there is lamely no production on the weekends). Then we
harrassed the sample guy and had our fill of very cherry, mango chili,
and all the other flavors. Afterwards we decided to make the most of
the trip and headed to a nearby olive oil tasting room. It was a
little odd, in that the tasting room was in an office complex, but the
habanero infused oil was delicious.

Wanting to get out of the office park vibe, we got in the car and
drove to the other side of the freeway where we went wine tasting.
Both places we went (ledgewood creek and blue Victorian) were super
friendly and didn't charge for a tasting. It was just laid back and
chill and fun. And gorgeous, the lush green hillsides are amazing this
time of year.

Now for the sad part. Weekend's over and we gotta go to work tomorrow.
Boo on that.

Lucky Melissa is hopping onto a plane this evening and heading to Australia. I was hoping to hop into her suitcase, but alas i stopped going to the gym again and just won't fit. when the day was coming to a close, i told her to have a good trip and then realized i wouldn't see her again until January 4th. so happy new year melissa, and put down that phone and stop reading and have a great trip!

this afternoon deirdre, melissa, and molly came over for a quick trip to the slides. the seward street slides are only a few blocks from my house, however they are a trip down the hill and then back up, only to go down and back up again. we started off with a glass of champers (i sort of hate that word, but champagne is pretty stuff sounding), and then walked on over.

after going down the slides (no scrapes or real bruises, amazing!), we came to my place where we drank some more. after a few hours (where randall played mr. perfect husband and pretended not to be there except for the part where he grilled us up the delicious food), we decided it would be fun to go down the slides again. so deirdre convinced randall to drive us the few blocks, and he did. this time molly and i went down face first, and luckily our faces are still intact.

afterwards we came back to my house where we drank even more and cuddled about. btw, my whole neighborhood might know what molly's ass looks like. just saying.

ps. we had the most ridiculous conversation with my neighbors chuck and rick. i think they think we're crazy.

pps. you need to try this sangria recipe. i used it as the base for ours and it is amazing.

ppps. i thought i didn't drink that much, but now that everyone is gone i am feeling really drunk. gwah gwah.
