6 things I'm thinking about right now.

This was previously a popular post, (in a world full of alliteration, no doubt) so I'm resurrecting a truncated version of it because I only slept 5 hours last night and I've got to get to bed.

6 things I'm thinking about right now:

1. I cannot believe a man traded a paper clip for a house. He deserves the house just for sheer ingenuity, but I bet the house ain't in the OC.

2. Karen and Jill are going to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday!

3. I love the beach, but not when there's a riptide.

4. I went hiking today and I am proud of myself.

5. My mom bought me a seahorse made out of seashells.

6. I am moving on August 5th.

What are you thinking about?

I'm ENTJ and this is called Follow-through!

So that title was a shout-out to Ann, who loves me for my ENTJ-ness and the fact that I value completing tasks, just for the sake of checking off my list.

So here are a smattering of pics from my San Francisco trip. The highlight was Italy won the World Cup when we were in North Beach and everyone was going crazy in the streets, honking their horns and screaming "Italia!" And then we stopped and had lattes and biscotti and then went on a long search for City Lights booksellers. And seriously, if I could invent my own true SF experience, it would not live up to City Lights. I bought The Kite Runner, Going Nucular and and Love Works. I found books in there that were written upstairs in a chair looking out window in the Poetry Room. How cool is that?

Allright, on to the pics... click on them for a bigger version.


It got a little foggy on our bay cruise.


These people were literally cheering the Italians in the World Cup from the sidewalk.


A nice pic of Washington Square Park.


The Coit Tower, from a distance.


City streets and a tree.


The TransAmerica pyramid. The pyramid piece is actually hollow, and only for decoration. Turns out the architect wanted people walking under all the skyscrapers to have more light down at street level.

Meet Me In San Fran....

Cisco!

Yep, on the spur of the moment we decided on a 3 day trip to the land of Rice a Roni and cable cars. We got an awesome deal from Travelocity and are going to stay in a fancy hotel and go to the Ghirardelli Square and SF MOMA and whatnot. Go vacationing! I haven't been on any kind of fun trip since March 2005. Yippee! Our hotel room has 3 phones, including one in the bathroom. Are you kidding me?

I'm taking my digital camera, which I hardly ever use, so I'll post pics when I get back.
