10 Friday Things
Ready for a really random Friday brain dump? I feel like that has been my end of the week tradition lately.
Here we go again….
1) I’m leaving for Boston tonight! It might not be the fall foliage trip I dreamed of (aka, it’s a little early in the season, plus it’s supposed to rain…), but we’re going up to NH and western mass and I’m sure it’ll be beautiful. I’m so excited for a weekend away and to see one of my good friends. Anyone else have Columbus Day off?
2) I went to see Christina Perri and Jason Muraz at the Greek Theater in Berkeley last night! Such a fun concert venue and date night.
3) Have you tried this Pure Bar flavor? I discovered it recently and it’s amazing. My new favorite flavor, hands down.
4) Soooo….I’m pretty sure I’m never going to be able to give up coffee….and I realized from my latest attempt that I don’t really want to. Less coffee (aka not daily) and more tea is good, but I’ll stop trying to force myself to quit it altogether.
5) Here’s a photo of my cute boyfriend taken by Paige 110 miles into a ride with 6,200 feet of climbing. They got lost in a no-cell-service area and ended up going 10 miles further than they were supposed to in 96 degree heat- Ouch, but nice job! 44 days ’till the AZ Ironman! Excited for them.
6) This is the big weekend in SF– Blue Angels, Fleet Week, America’s Cup, Bluegrass Festival, Columbus Day Parade, Giants post-season game, street fairs, etc…..and of course, I’m missing it. I love what I’m doing instead, but why do things always fall on the same weekend?
7) I love all the people I’ve been “meeting” and emailing with through blogging and just wanted to say thank you. xoxo
8) This Thai Kitchen peanut noodle kit is my very favorite quick weeknight meal. It’s so good and takes literally 10 minutes. I could eat it every night. Gluten free too, btw.
9) I was planning to post a photo of last night’s dinner before the concert…..but we went to the restaurant, ordered, and then realized we were running out of time so asked the waitress to just box up the food and then ended up eating it while walking to the car. It tasted a good, but wasn’t a photo friendly situation. I did manage to drink a glass of wine though, so here ya go instead…a photo of my wine
and 10) Your turn…..tell me something about your week or what you’re excited for this weekend. Who has Monday off for Columbus Day? Where’s your next weekend trip? Have the leaves changed near you yet?

October 5, 2012 at 4:27 am (232 days ago)quitting coffee completely is always a bad idea.
Rebecca
October 5, 2012 at 11:48 am (232 days ago)Now I fully agree with you (as typed while sipping on a starbucks…)
Happy wknd!

Rebecca
October 5, 2012 at 11:47 am (232 days ago)Happy Anniversary! Backpacking sounds like a wonderful way to celebrate!

October 5, 2012 at 8:05 am (232 days ago)I am going to be doing wine tastings both tonight and all day Saturday – I can’t WAIT! That combined with having no work Monday is putting me in a particularly giddy mood today!
Rebecca
October 5, 2012 at 11:47 am (232 days ago)Lucky! Wine tasting both nights sounds like so much fun!

October 5, 2012 at 10:57 am (232 days ago)I wish I had Monday off – lucky you! Enjoy Boston! I went there last spring and really liked it. Great city to walk around in and see the sites. My favorite neighborhood was the North End. It was full of Italian restaurants/bakeries, cobblestone streets and its winding streets were fun to wander around in.
Rebecca
October 5, 2012 at 11:49 am (232 days ago)Great idea– I’ve only been to the North End once before and it was in the middle of winter so we didn’t walk around much. My friend I’m visiting is Italian, so I’m sure I can convince her to take me there
Have a great wknd!

October 5, 2012 at 3:36 pm (231 days ago)I’d take wine photos over food photos any day
Have fun in NH. Hope the rain isn’t bad. I have to drive into NYC on Sunday so I’m hoping it will be less than predicted too!
Rebecca
October 7, 2012 at 5:39 am (230 days ago)Not much rain so far- we all lucked out! Have fun in ny

October 5, 2012 at 7:43 pm (231 days ago)Pure bars are my favorite, but I’ve never seen that flavor. Where did you find it? I have plans to try to replicate the the cherry cashew one very soon!
Rebecca
October 7, 2012 at 5:39 am (230 days ago)I found it at a random sports store near here, but that’s the only place I’ve seen it. I need to go back and buy a full box now that I know they’re hard to find!
Luv What You Do
October 7, 2012 at 1:58 pm (230 days ago)You definitely do! I typically see them at TJ’s so I”ll keep my eyes open!

October 6, 2012 at 6:30 am (231 days ago)Have fun in Boston! I wish those magazines would have gotten to you in time for airplane reading.
They must be stuck in the bottom of a mailbag somewhere between WI and CA!
Rebecca
October 7, 2012 at 5:37 am (230 days ago)Haha, i bet they’re stuck in Nevada and all the post office workers are reading them

Rebecca
October 7, 2012 at 5:41 am (230 days ago)Fun! I love the Baltimore/DC area too, there’s so much to do in both cities. Have a great wknd!

October 7, 2012 at 4:50 pm (229 days ago)I’ve never tried one but that Pure bar sounds so good. Have a great weekend, hope you get some foliage. The leaves are already changing here in Ohio so you may see some yet.
