Life, Lists

Oh my. It’s hard to get excited about the upcoming week, I’ll be honest. I’ve been exhausted for weeks now with this mild illness that I just can’t shake. Sometimes I wish I would just be all out sick so I would take the time to get over it. I’ve also got multiple canker sores from hormones/stress, and my wisdom tooth has caused an infection. I am a hot mess, y’all.

Anyways, let’s see… What am I looking forward to this week?

  • The 60-Day Challenge is about to start at my bikram yoga studio. I’m thinking about trying to do a 30-Day set, but I’m not committed yet (see above “exhaustion”). At the very least, this activity that I’ve been doing lately will be cheaper, and that’s nice.
  • I’m going to see The Homecoming at the ACT on Friday. Harold! Pinter! Power! Sex! After being underwhelmed by Clybourne Park I’m really hoping for a winner here.
  • I am going to see a bluegrass show Monday night.
  • Ryan and I are planning a trip to celebrate our anniversary. Indulgent, right? Yep!
  • Steel-cut oatmeal for breakfast tomorrow morning. It’s the Trader Joe’s microwavable kind- no muss, no fuss.

Anyways I am TAKING IT EASY this week. I just want to feel better!

Style

Who Knew Darren Aronofsky Would Influence My Fashion Choices?

Ballet style is always in and out of fashion, but with the fluffy black tulle this Gap dress screams Black Swan!

I still like it though.

imageAlso spotted at the Gap: the famous Pegged Boyfriend jeans. They do exist! I wonder if there’s a Darren Aronofsky film for that as well.

Animals, Life

Today’s Inspiration: Bird of Prey

While I was working hard away at my desk this hawk dropped by my window to have a snack. You can barely make out the critter in its talons…

My coworker asked if this was my power animal. What a compliment!

 

Food

Work Lunch Of Note: Off the Grid 5th + Mission

Off the Grid: 5M launched at the end of January, and I finally managed to drop by and check it out. It is awesome!

Picture taken by my tall friend. There were about 4 or 5 trucks, all with pretty substantial lines. Everything’s behind the San Francisco Chronicle building, and there is coverage, so on rainy days rain is not an issue for customers or vendors. Crucial!

For some reason, they were also screening a movie in the alley. This was to benefit a film school I think.

It’s a bit hard to see in this photo, but I got a burrito with french fries instead of rice. Gotta love Off the Grid in all its forms.
