Tuesday is the new Monday

Yep that is seriously my thought on today. Not liking being here at work right now. So glad I am off in a few to go to cupcake class.  Yeah you heard me right, cupcake class, tonight from 5-8 I will be making some of this delishness

Since M and I have dealt with 2 moves, busy season at work and all his travel for work my sisters could not find a weekend to throw us an engagement party. So since they couldn't buckle a day they are being so awesome and taking me to teacake to take their cupcake class tonight. Of course you get to walk away with cupcakes in hand too! So today may have been a little lame but at least tonight will rock! Now only if they served champagne while we were baking... Suggestion Box!

Heaven in a paper wrapper

So I came into work this morning thinking it was going to be your average Tuesday, well it was not. My co-worker called me over to his desk and thinking it was something work related I started the "walk" mind you its like 10 steps over there.  As I walk up to his desk I see this pink box sitting on his desk. I kinda went a little crazy (I literally started jumping up and down saying oh my gosh) so I provided a little early morning entertainment.

So what was it?  A coconut cupcake from Kara's cupcakes. My absolute fav!!!! So I ate it for breakfast, so so so good. I miss living in the city, everday there is something that reminds me of everything I loved so much about city living and Kara's is one of them. Hopefully once I have the house of my own that little tinge of pain that strikes of all the greatness of the city will go away. I mean really how many people can say they rode the worlds only moving historical landmark to work everyday, not many and I used to be one. Ahhhh San Francisco..

Reflection

So 8 years ago today our U.S. history books added another major incident to the pages.  Since then lifes have changed and been lost. A big thanks to the U.S. troops serving overseas, you are greatly appreciated and are forever in my thougthts.  Ok I got that out of my system but now it is time to reflect on the positive, the blueBerryman wedding weekend extravaganza.

The weekend started off on Friday night when M and I got down to Monterey.  We decided on Hula's for dinner and had one very tall refreshing drink. I had a hurricane and M had what would have been

a scorpion bowl, had it been in a bowl and big enough for 4 people. After these drinks (and the beers we had before dinner) we were feeling mightly fine! We then moved on to the hotel bar for some more delicious drinks by our fav bartender there Jenny from the block.

See the box there at the bottom, that is a big box of teacake bakeshop. Deliciousness!! After the cupcakes and the sugar filled drinks M decided to do a photoshot of me. Of course me being the always serious person I am he got these.

Ah la supermodel and my classic cross-eyed tongue out posse. Funny thing discovered by a coworker a few years back, only one of my eyes goes cross eyed, the other just stays straight. I know you were dying to know that information.

The wedding itself was Saturday held at the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa. All I can say is awesomeness! Gorgeous backround of the bay and it was an absolutely perfect day weather wise. Of course I got to wear my amazing Manolos (sequined, peep toe, mary-jane). Love me some shoes!

 Also if you are looking for a place to eat in Monterey we loved the Trailside Cafe for breakfast two days in a row. Their blueberry pancakes were amazing, so was the breakfast burrito (perfect hangover cure). Just dont go in the bathroom, there's a jungle cat in the bathroom.

We ended the weekend with a little aquirium visit so we got to see the seahorse exhibit as well as the new great white shark, those things are scary, the black eyes freak me out. I couldn't ask for a better weekend, great weather and good friends.

Tomorrow we are headed up to Alexander Valley for Robert Young Ranch day. cannot wait to taste the Burnpile cabernet, I have been waiting all year for it.  So cheerio my boos hope you have a fantastic fun filled weekend!

Exciting Thursday

Thank goodness for it being Thursday and being able to head out of town tomorrow. I totally agree with Myra's post over at life is bananas. I am VERY ready for this week to end. But on a lighter note I found out today that this girl

is coming home next week!!! I am so excited, I have not seen her since last year when she moved to London to do a 2 year job rotation. I know I know, bad friend right. Well lets just say this hasn't been the most opportune year for me to take off for a long vacation to Europe with work and the CPA exam and trying to buy a house. But I am ecstatic that she will be home and cannot wait to see her.

I met L about 5 years ago and we instantly bonded over beautiful shoes and our distaste for our long hours at work, since then my life has never been the same and I miss her like crazy. One of our first bonding experiences I came home with these beauties.

I cannot wait till she is back stateside and we can share our love for designer shoes, bags, coffee bean vanilla lattes and Kara's coconut cupcakes.

I also take off mid-day tomorrow for Monterey for a good friends wedding weekend.  I cannot wait to get out of town and the weather is supposed to be perfect.  So excited for her and her fiancé  and cannot wait to share pictures of the weekend.
