It was a long day and I kinda thought I could use some positivity, sooooo what I'm loving Wed seemed appropriate... even though it's only Tuesday night. Whatev.
I've got a ton of things I'm loving, like:
* deep breathing exercises. It might sound a little odd, but whatever. My massage guy over the weekend told me how people just forget to BREATHE and it adds a lot of stress in our lives. Plus, breathing can calm you, give you energy, strengthen your heart, etc. Yeah, we all breathe, but I mean deeply breathe a few times a day.... Don't trust me? Read about it! I'm not crazy! Er... whatever.. Just hand my my hemp and granola and send me on my way, but I dig this breathing stuff. :)
* Temperatures have fallen below 100...AND we got some rain!
* Eric and I leave very soon for CA! We're stockpiling things we should do, etc, in San Fran after the wedding. I already booked the Alcatraz night tour. #spooky. That said, we have no hotel...yet. Thoughts or ideas? (I know... We need to get on that).
* Pinterest. I said it last week and I'll say it again. I dig it. I joined the bandwagon late, but I dig it. :)
* Working it out. Lately, I've found myself craving the gym, not dreading it. I think I've passed the annoying hump of forcing myself to go.
* Heading to the lake this weekend. :) Nothing extended, but a little time in the sun on a boat with the temps below 100...Bring.it.on.
* And finally... beverages....
Happy Wednesday, friends!

Whenever I want to stay in the city (and not with my Dad, who lives in the East Bay), I go to the Beresford Arms. That's where I always stayed with my family when I was growing up (after we'd moved from San Fran to Tulsa), and I continue to stay there with Sammy as an adult. ;-) It's old and crumbly in a really good way... tiny rooms, but that's true of all hotel rooms in big cities. It's really inexpensive for San Francisco, and it's right at the corner of Post and Jones, so an easy walk from Union Station. Really great location for getting around if you're using public transportation. Here's the website: http://www.beresford.com/arms/default.htm I usually look it up on Expedia or Travelocity and book that way because they always have a discount. Have fun!!! xoxo
Alcatraz night tour?? That place was eerie during the DAY! Ohh you are brave, haha. Can't wait to hear about that!
Oh my gosh I am the SAME way about beverages! I LOVE them! Probably more than food... well, maybe. I think beverages are fun and tasty and I love switching it up :)
I cannot believe you are still having such high temps. But then again TX has been like 110 a gazillion days in a row. COME TO SEATTLE!!!!
We don't have a hotel room booked in San Fran either, so I'm going to stalk the comments you get on this post :) We want to stay close to Union Square, but there are so many and some are just ridiculously $$$. Have fun at the lake this weekend- we'll be up at our place too! Excited that it's going to be in the 90s!
Hey lady! i am so jealous that 1. your temps are below 100 and 2. that your going to san fran! i recommend Le Meridien San Fransico. It has more of a boutique hotel feel and it is gorg. plus, it's in what i thought was a great location to the pier! Let me know what ya'll end up going with --- i am always needing different hotels for my job :)
Love the old school Dr. Pepper can pic! Ha! I'm a sweet tea, coffee, water and vino girl. Those are my go to beverages!
have so much fun on your trip!
and I have to share my newest beverage obsession--sparkling water. I buy the flavored perrier when it's on sale, but there are less fancy versions too. I got a couple of flavors of the deer park ones for a dollar a bottle.
My favorite thing about them is that I get all that refreshing deliciousness with zero calories. :)
And I feel ya on the drinks--Matt thinks I am crazy when we go to brunch and I order an OJ, coffee and a water. :)
I shall read up on this breathing...I believe it though, I sure do!
OK, I'm totally going to email you with my recommendations in SanFran!!! YAY!!!
I've been esp drawn to pinterest lately too! All of the images are just so inspiring. And I've been trying to "breathe" more and pay attention to my breath too. It really does help to stay present.
I am loving the cooler weather too! I could do without the crazy wind and lightning that have come along with our storms, but the rain and lower temps have been great!
Such a good reminder about the breathing. I totally need to focus on it more when I need a mental break at work. And so glad things are cooling off for you guys! And yay for SF!!!
Did he have you pick a color you like when you breath in and a bad one when you breath out? hahah!
Also, I used to live in SF (down the street from Jenny!) and I loved the Fairmont. Its in a good spot, its insanely beautiful, and it has a really fun bar with inside thunder and rain. Cheesy ... but super cool! :) Have fun!
I can't believe you're doing the night tour! It was totally creeper there in the day!! Wear a jacket because it will be FREEZING! Trust me! What else are you doing in SF? I highly suggest Baker Beach for pics of the GG behind you!
Alcatraz gives me the creeps. You'll have fun but be prepared to be scared. :)
