my baby got a promotion!!
after a recockulously long wait, james finally heard the news yesterday that his promotion went through!! i was seriously bouncing in my seat at work when i heard, and dealing with 5 fires at the same time. totally comical!!
since he's such a good guy, i treated him to dinner at sundance steakhouse. i TOTALLY recommend this place for special dinners. it was a perfect night: amazing service, outstanding food, and hopefully a fun treat for my baby!!
WOOHOO!!

i just had one of the most productive and fun weekends!!
i got friday off for a floating birthday holiday, and it was sooooo nice to hang out with james. he took me out to lunch in burlingame, then candy shopping!!! i bought lots of yummy treats and we were off to sf to the legion of honor. we had a blast scoping out picassos, monets, manets, dalis, etc. the annie lebovitz exhibit was also there and was pretty blah. too many people wandering around, and not enough of her amazing work was showcased. a big boooo to that exhibit.
after that, i got to take a quick nap at home!! i haven't had a nap in forever, and it felt sooo wonderful!! i also snuck in some reading, and then it was off to the cheesecake factory!!
saturday was my bday celebration with the fam, my dad's bday celebration, and mother's day. we went out for brunch for my mom, out to the movies and the bbq for my dad, and then had ice cream cupcakes for meeeee!! oh, and lots of presents!! i am totally spoiled!!
on sunday, we did a bit of shopping, some relaxing, and finally some scrapbooking!! it was so nice to have so much fun and check a million things off of my list at the same time. :)

i had the most fabulous weekend with my girls!!
it was my bachelorette party, and holy cow did i have a blast!! i walked into dres' place on saturday to hear, "going to the chapel" blaring through the speakers!! and there were the cutest pink decorations everywhere!! poor dres probably hated me for those 2 days that her apartment was covered in pink!!
we started off with pomegranate martinis while everyone congregated and got things ready for our picnic. the weather was beautiful for sf, and it was so nice to hop right across the street for lots of wine, cheese, bread, pasta, and my girls!! oh yes, and at this point, i was wearing one of those bachelorette veils. woohoos from everyone!!
after the picnic, we skipped over to get our nails and brows done. it was such a cute and fun place, and this might have been due to the fact that we had lots of wine and champagne while we were there!! when we were done getting girlied up, we headed over to some fun thrift stores for silly clothes for dinner/dancing. i was pretty much set with my black leggings, annoying BRIDE tank, and fun veil, but i needed some flair. i wanted a poofy skirt a la sex and the city, like during the intro where they show carrie, and i found one!! i also found a very happy thrift store employee who liked dry humping me, but that's another story.
dinner was at AsiaSF, and it was ah-may-zing!! the food was incredible and non-stop, drinks were totally girly and exactly what i wanted, and then there were the performances!! totally entertaining, and i suggest anyone wanting to have a ball for their bachelorette go here.
after tons of dancing, and a turn or two on the stripper pole, it was time to retire for the night. we couldn't get a cab outside, but did find a random guy driving a town car that was blaring belinda carlisle, and we knew he was the driver for us. after racing us home and some fun madonna tunes, we hopped out of there, and back to dres'.
we played a quick game of "how well do jeannette and james know each other" which i believe i got all correct except for one. what, what. then roomies brought out funfetti birthday cupcakes for me!! OMG!! i am totally spoiled rotten!! we also opened up some spicy gifts, then started snacking on popcorn while we started movies!! kell had a projector and a large white sheet, so we got to watch pretty in pink and sixteen candles old-school style!!
on sunday morning, we headed off to foreign cinema for breakfast, and it was so delish. we split lots of things, and then had our own breakfast plates. it was so fru-fru and cute and really yummy food. i definitely recommend this place for a more upscale brunch place in the city.
as you can see, i had the most fun-filled weekend, and a really great bachelorette party. i have the best friends in the world!!
