weekender...
this weekend marks the first in several that I won't be working all weekend - which is good & bad.the good: my little sister is coming to visit!! yay!! haylie (previously Haley - changing the spelling of your name just *happens* when you're 12/13 - go figure) is *13* and this is her first trip out to see me all by herself! should be fun!
here's some of the things we have planned:
- Tonite: go out & eat somewhere yummy! (boy I should have started planning this! but it's not hard to think of amazing places to go, and I suppose I'll just have to see what we're hungry for... but overall I hardly go out to eat anymore, so I'm excited! Emmy's maybe? Ethiopian? (what kid doesn't like to eat with her hands!), Firecracker (chinese), Goat Hill (tasty pizza), Thai, Dim Sum, Mediterranean - our options are endless!
- Draw!! and Play on our computers!! :) We're of the same blood, what can I say?
- Friday day: I must work! (so. much. to. do... so. little. time.)
- Friday night: Go see my friend Jem's band, Jean-Marie play at the Brainwash Cafe!! Come out & see them with us!! 8pm! be there! I'm excited cuz Haylie will get to meet a lot of my friends there - and it's just my luck it's at the Brainwash Cafe cuz she can get in there - yay!
- Eat sushi (at some point)
- Saturday morning - maybe take a hike up Bernal & then go have breakfast on Cortland?
- Take photos!!! My very lucky little sister just got a SD400! So we'll be finding lots of photo ops :)
- Saturday - Take a class! I'm hoping it's the Silkscreening on Paper class on Saturday! :)
- Saturday night we're hittin the Youth Speaks Brave New Voices Finals at the Masonic Auditorium!! A lot of the BAMboozled youth are going, and said it's going to be amazing! I think Haylie will really dig it (and me too!)
- Dinner w/ my lovely friend Lyne Saturday before the show, somewhere yummy in the mission
- Sunday morning - we're having breakfast w/ Mateo! Matt is my ex-boyfriend who I was with for 4.5 years and Haylie & him were very close (see photos on an old website I'd made for her when she was 9 or so). They have a secret handshake and everything! They haven't seen eachother since our split (2 years ago now!) and she was THRILLED when she heard she got to see him. yay! We're both really excited to see him, and I think he's going to make us his specialty: PANCAKES! Yum!!!
- Somewhere in there fit in other touristy things... maybe the Pier, or go check out the bridge - or skip all that & just go to the ocean! Feel free to leave any other suggestions you might have.
the bad:
I have so much work to do that I really needed to keep my run of working through the weekend... but as soon as I put her back on the plane on Sunday I can dive right back into my lovely 12 hour a day schedule. It actually will be quite nice to not work for a day & 1/2 & play instead!
Oh & I *must* get to bed at 12 tonite. I have no problems staying up until 2am - it's the sleeping in that's not working lately! I wake up at 8:30 on the dot almost every single day - and how annoying is that?! It's messing up my 8 hour goal! So tonite, it's a lovely 8 hours no. matter. what. Plus, when you've got family in town - it's best to not have any possibility of crankiness in your system. :)
:::
So I just got done putting something yummy in my tummy (before I forget in the flurry of cleaning up my house & going to get her at the airport). I just had a TASTY mozzarella and salami sandwich. yumm.
Have a great weekend everyone!
