if the neon family is true

woke up ridiculously early today (try 5:45, hours before i usually begin stirring), but that was okay because we were meeting the neon family for breakfast and i would rather be awake for a few hours, than sleepytown groggy.

they were visiting from sacto. not a long journey, but sometimes it takes a big effort (lil' ira probably adds to that). we met up at the ferry building where we partook in a large meal from primavera (niki my regrets, i should've warned you that you'd be too full for the cheese afterwards!). once again, they were not serving fish tacos, but once again i was happy with my meal regardless.

after eating we wandered around the market and the shops. after a few hours ira wasn't having it anymore. he was so angry that he wanted to knock over the stroller (apparently he hates it) and wouldn't settle for not being able to do it. this kid is going to be trouble, he's a totally adorable lil' devil. mamas hide your daughters and tell your sons how to duck.

oh and today's weather was fantastic, in the afternoon burger and i drove around with the top down singing at the top of our lungs. total greats day. now off to food and maybe some dancing!

ps. i like to sing the words "neon family" to the arcade fire's "neon bible" obviously replacing the word family for bible.

nothing comes between me and my sugar (cane that is)

today's farmer's market was bustling. now that spring is here, there are loads of different kinds of fruits and vegetables, including long stalks of sugar cane. my mom is from taiwan and whenever we would visit we would eat sugar cane from street vendors. it is hands down one of my favorite things in the whole world. so naturally, when i saw one, i had to grab it. i also then carried it all over the muni, the library, the bart, and the mission. i imagine i looked totally awesome and absolutely hardcore, or totally ridiculous.

ps. i love the library and the online request system. ex machina 3, 4, and 5 are mine to devour!

pps. scottel didn't leave, he's on the extended stay plan. that's okay with me. we made such beef in his honor.

ppps. i had a dentist appointment today, do you think he'll be thrilled to hear that i left his office to go gnaw on some sweet wood?
