A Windy-ful Weekend

We originally had plans to go up to Tahoe this weekend, but due to the horrible weather on Friday and Henry's strained neck, we decided not to go.

I heard it was a winter wonderland up there with fresh powdery snow.  Part of me wishes that we had gone, but part of me was glad we got to stay in and just do us this weekend.  With the past month of festivities and long work weeks, it was nice to have quality time to ourselves.


Though the sun was out both days, it was quite windy. It was so chilly it pierced right through the skin and flesh onto the bone.  It was absolutely unbearable both Saturday and Sunday.

We were both so tired from a long week of work that we passed out early on Friday night. Oh the lives of old fogies.

We had planned to have brunch on Saturday morning.  I wanted to try something different, so we decided on Pork Store Cafe in the Haight.  As I was getting dressed, I wanted to dress comfy to match my make up less face (I had left my make up at home and spent the whole weekend make up less, sigh).  Good thing I didn't really have to get dolled up for any reason.

I threw on the comfiest articles I had.  I might not have looked like the trendiest person, but I was sure comfy.

I threw on my H&M Knitted turtle neck sweater with some leopard tights and my Top Shop Moccasin booties with my small little Top Shop side bag.

My Chile Piquin Pork Sausage with sunny side up eggs and potato has with wheat toast. The sausage was a bit spicy, but it was super tasty.  I loved the fact that it's house made and there's chopped up cilantro bits in the sausage.

After a hearty breakfast, we made our way to Stonestown to return some gifts I had received for my birthday.  I had to exchange some stuff because they didn't fit.  While we were at the mall anyway, we walked around as well.

Came across a arts and crafts store on the first floor where the old bebe used to be and fell in love.  I was inspired to do some arts and crafts of my own.  Here are some items from the store that I found interesting, cute and inspiring.

And so we ended the evening with some Shabu House. Perfect evening for some Shabu.  Henry and Phil got the all you can eat, while I opted for the regular. Thanks to Anna for the extra tofu and Sake on the side. We all turned red and the guys blamed me for them not being able to finish more meat.

 This stuff is so good. Can't believe I've never had this before. YUM!
