furniture shopping. spa. wine tasting, cut & color. movies.

That is how I spent my three day weekend.  Does it get any better, I think not!

Kicked off the weekend with The Fighter at the Kubki Theather and dinner prior in Japan town with some friends.  Thanks to Katie for sneaking in a bottle a red, it was MUCH needed after the week I had at work.

Next up Saturday AM, I went and picked up this treasure off Craigslist.
 

Turns out the seller is an interior designer who started by blogging when she was a teacher (hmmm. maybe I could quit advertising afterall? ahh, to risky). Her blog is here.

Next on the list was a color and (much needed cut).  While I have been coloring every 5 - 6 weeks now that I am back to brunette, I have been avoiding a cut as last time they chopped to many inches off, and I want my hair looooonng!  Despite the heavy rain (Californians freak out when it pours - you would think the world is coming to an end, seriously) I ventured over to Emeryville to look at the side table.  I ended up not getting the one i posted on below, as I now have the black one above as my nightstand and went with this fun mirrored one as a side table for by the bay window which will help bring in more light to the room.

I also picked up some trinkets on sale at West Elm - these little white vases were on sale for $4!
Saturday night found me out to dinner and drinks with friends - Umami one of my favorites.
Then on Sunday, I went up to Sonoma with some other friends for some much needed R&R.
We first stopped at a winery for a little wine tasting and then headed over to the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn. ahh, I'm relaxed just remembering the afternoon.  One of the pools has relaxing music playing under water, so you can just lay back on the floaties and put your head halfway in the water and wash away all your cares in the world.  By the time we got back to SF, I was ready for bed and it was only 7! So I settled for a night in with a slice of pizza, a bottle of wine and The Social Network on demand.
Monday has been less eventful, couch/internet surfing/hgtv watching. But, to continue with the movie theme, I'm going to go watch the King's Speech later this afternoon.  What a great weekend before a busy (but short) week ahead.
