Muni strands Sunset-bound passengers at Church and Duboce by conducting not one, not two, but three switchbacks. Will I ever get home?

my Friday after Thanksgiving
This is what Black Friday is all about: extra-long dog walks!
Both Soleil and Lulu got spooked by this miniature lawn cow... much more entertaining than navigating the hordes on Black Friday.

BFFs
Who gets to babysit Lulu the 30+ lb. Beagle mix over Thanksgiving weekend?
I do! Soleil and Lulu are total BFFs... after all, they're the about same age. They can't stop playing with each other or stealing treats.
Jesusbread
It's been years snce I last ventured into a Whole Foods grocery store... past adventures usually involved my militantly vegan friend from high school. But after salsa class I followed my co-workers inside and found this:
I call it Jesusbread and I consider it essential for any Biblical reenactment.
As one co-worker and salsa aficionado noted, this is the sort of thing people move to this country to get away from.
Source did it before it was cool
And yes, the homemade twinkies are excellent!

zumba
After sweating so much my face was just about crusted in salt and considering leaving the class multiple times, I vow to never poke fun at zumba again! That stuff is seriously hard! I stumbled through the choreography... it's as if all those Latin and ballroom dancing classes and all those hours spent with my workout DVDs never happened! As many well-endowed cougars and openly hungover students breezed through the dance, I played the fool as I jumped and lunged in the wrong direction. Granted, I believe that zumba is easier if you know the teacher's choreography and style but this was definitely the most difficult first class I've ever been in.
My legs were so tired I decided to rest before driving... didn't want to risk an accident because my legs were the victims of zumba. When I was finally confident in my ability to apply the brakes, I drove to Carl's Jr. I don't eat fast food a lot but when I do, I make it worthy occasion.

What are these tater tots doing in my fries? |
For now, I'll stick to salsa so I can feel like I'm accomplishing something.

animal crossing
The story of Soleil and Jackie has been mildly entertaining these past few days...
Soleil is very intrigued by and very scared of Jackie.
Jackie does not share these sentiments, all she wants to do is sniff out her surroundings, sleep, and eat in peace.
But that doesn't mean that Soleil has given up on getting closer to the mustachioed cat.
Something like that. I'm sure Jackie thinks Soleil is a stalker.

the difference
I baked my usual chocolate on chocolate whoopie pies... but added rainbow sprinkles for the potluck at work! Now I can finally wear clothes that match my food!
Must improve on the purple sprinkles because that color does not pop against brown. Good to know for food decorating and human dressing purposes.

a grand day in yogurt-human relations
After switching locations and forgetting which phone number I had used before, I finally accrued $50 of yogurt receipts on a songle account at the same location. And I've been rewarded with a $5 credit for more yogurt!
Fellow customers take note: Yoppi locations do not share information so you can't buy yogurt in two stores and expect to see your hard work on a single account. Also choose a single phone number and stick with it instead of waffling between your work and mobile numbers. Just do it!

historic reenactment
Girl with a 'stache. Watchout world!
So Jackie has been hesitant to explore my place but last night she finally ventured out from beneath the sofa. She claimed this pillow the way Hitler claimed Czechslovakia. She hops around my coffee table as if it were fellow Deutsch-speaking Austria. She is preparing fo dominate the world.
I'm not sure how she sees me but I hope I'm not her Poland.
Jackie already has a minion... my cat flashlight. |
Scary eyes of doom! |

a not-so-angry but definitely belated Halloween
Did you say Angry Birds?
Going birdy with temporary tattoos... here we have a pimp bird and his two pregnant chickens! |
tough pigs meet tough birds |
tons of biodegradable confetti
Neat lines, jumbotrons T Civic Center, confetti canons... there's nothing like the first bit this time around the parade was much less chaotic.
Thanks to Speedy, the greatest Giants fan I know, we nabbed a great vanatge point for the parade. We saw everything... the trophy, the players, and all the fun fluff. I even caught a Levi's t-shirt and saw one of the most recognizable ushers, Bernice. The darling woman didn't see anyone as she was talking on her phone on top of a bus but I knew it was her.
One more thing: Panda rocked orange pants!
Bernice on her phone, probably calling her family... "I'm in the parade!" |
Buster and wifey... but no twins! :( |
Panda's car was last and they moved along too briskly... but the pants are orange! |
Bochy and trophy |
