I Love SF

Sometimes I forget that I live in one of the most amazing cities on the planet.  Boyfriend and I were sitting in my car, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, and giggling about all the tourists taking cheesy pictures.  But as soon as we finished laughing, we were ready to take our own pic.  I can't believe we've been dating for almost a year and haven't taken a token one with the lovely GG!

If you ever have the chance to hang out near the bridge, the only acceptable way is to bring wine and cheese.  And stuff yourself silly while you convince yourself that cheesy bridge pics aren't that bad ;)

Love Note

I was walking running to the shuttle at 6 am the other day, and noticed this love note on a pizza box.   It was terrible, quite terrible in fact.  But kind of sad and sweet at the same time.  When I got to the last line though, I died a little.

"I will see you in another life when we are both cats."

I mean, sometimes I dream of being a cat just so I can sleep all day!  Dream big, pizza poet.

Happy Monday!

I was tired when I woke up today.  The Superbowl wore me out, yo.  But after I worked out my soreness at the gym, video chatted with my traveling bf, and walking into my cube, I felt so awake and so... happy.  I was excited to just be present.  I kept looking around, wondering where this happiness was coming from.  Today was such a good day, and it was honestly just the regular, ho-hum nothings of today that made me happiest.

Working on this ;) Via.

Sunny Run

It was a gorgeous day in San Francisco, so it (almost) made me excited to hit the pavement.  There's a perfect trail from my apartment to the Golden Gate Bridge, so I challenged myself to run as far as I could.  I'll take the amount I was able to run as a good sign.  Trying to be as active as possible this year!

The Best Kind of Friends

Post-college is weird, no?  You leave the place you felt welcomed and secure, move away from your best friends, and try to keep things exactly the same even when you are miles apart.

It's hard though.  When you work 50-60 hours a week and commute two hours a day (at least), free time is precious and becomes allotted between favorite people.  I'll admit that at times I am great at balancing work and life, and other times I am the suckiest person ever at this.  And ignore the people that mean the most to me.

I'm working on it; I really am.  There are some really special people that I want to share my post-grad adventures with, and these are the people that I want to be excited for too.  Tonight, one of my college besties was a few blocks away from my apartment, and a quick catch-up/hugs/snuggle sesh was such a treat.  I love my friends.

Cannot believe I've never stopped by here!

MOMA-ing

A couple of weeks ago, I went to the SF MOMA with a bunch of friends from work.  Our company had a cool corporate night... it was totally free to go!  I've kinda given up going out on Friday nights after a long week of work, but prompting from my man had me out the door after a quick change.

Boy was it fun! I can't say I know too much about art, but it was a blast catching up with friends, drinking wine, and pretending to be fancy.  You can see we really nailed it ;)

Back (A Little)

 
When I stopped writing a few months ago, I honestly didn’t think twice about it.  Writing or blogging or just saying hi was becoming a chore, and I didn’t want to taint it… especially the writing part.

The last four months of 2012 were not very fun.  I was tired, I didn’t like who I was, and I couldn’t seem to make anything better.  But thanks to the unconditional love and support I was graced with, things began to change.  I knew that 2013 would be different.

And boy, has this year lived up and exceeded expectations.  I’m happy; so very happy.   I’ve always believed happiness is a choice and that we can make the best of our circumstances, and I don’t know that I quite believe that anymore.  But I do believe that we are part of something big and important and magical, and I’m willing to struggle if it means figuring out how to take care of myself and my situation to get back to a happy place.  I am getting better at taking care of me.

I want to write here, probably occasionally, to have a living journal of sorts.  San Francisco is the best place to live on planet earth, after all ;)  So much has already happened this year that will be fun to document.
