I'm so old!

Really, 25! Geez. So for my birthday tonight we went to Foreign Cinema for dinner and it was amazing. We ate in the courtyard, though it was too early for the movie to be playing (we were there until 8!) and it was great outside. And before dinner we went shopping in Union Square were I got a pink case for my iPhone and the cutest Steve Madden shoes (plaid peep toe with purple trim - delicious!)
All in all a great birthday!

I *heart* skinny jeans.

Seriously, I do. I discovered them around last Christmas or so and have been wearing them ever since. Here's the thing though, in Minnesota people did not get the skinny jeans. I almost never saw anyone wearing them and people didn't get it when I wore them. Here however, the skinny jean is out in full force and EVERYONE wears them.

It's so hard being accidentally fashionable...

Adventures in Driving

Today I drove downtown twice all by myself for interviews. The first time was in the outer part of the city so that wasn't bad but the second interview was located right inbetween China Town and The Embarcadero. That was nightmarish! People everywhere, crazy hills, and the whole nine yards. Nice location but I'd really prefer to never DRIVE there again.
Then for dinner we met Rod in the Mission for Peruvian which was amazing! (Who even knows what Peruvian food is?!) Its nice to have someone in town who we already know.

It is not, however, nice to pay $12 dollars in tolls in one day. Meh! No driving tomorrow though, just unpacking (still.)

Moving Sucks

Well, the car and all of our stuff finally got here on Saturday. The place is a disaster with stuff everywhere still. I'm really disappointed with the movers. When you move across the country local movers pick up your stuff and take it to a warehouse where it is transferred to a big semi with a couple other peoples loads and a driver brings it and contracts out local movers to unload it. Our stuff is all scratched and a bunch of furniture that left in one piece was taken apart and not put back together and theres a few broken things. I probably would not use these movers again, that's for sure. But, at least its all here.

Now I just have to unpack it.

The Beetle came on one of those trucks with all the cars stacked up and it was a full load that leaft MN and they are all coming to the Bay Area. Thats pretty strange I think.

Oh little fact here - on the west coast all the tv channel letters have a p after them for pacific, like CBSP or ABCP instead of CBS or ABC. What that means is Tivo was really confused and couldn't translate all my saved shows so I had to redo them all! Who knew...

Second interview tomorrow and 2 other new interviews on Wed. Job hunting sucks so please offer me a job!

Bella's Favorite Spot

How can I lay down and look out the window all at once?

PSA

Trader Joes has chocolate dipped frozen bananas. I want to eat the whole box!

We made it!

Well, we made it to California on Wednesday afternoon, FINALLY! And it sure has been busy. Wednesday afternoon I had a job interview already about 4 hours after we got here, and then a phone interview on Thursday. Wednesday night we found an amazing Target and filled up 2 carts and spent a zillion dollars.
It was 2 stories with a cart escalator and although it wasn't a Super Target, it had a full huge grocery section, fresh meat and produce. And its only 4 miles away. Awesome.

Thursday was perhaps the most annoying day yet. We went to the DMV to get new liscences and register Doug's car (the Beetle isn't here yet) and spent 4 hours there. We stood in line forever to get our liscences then we had to drive the car through an inspection line and wait in line AGAIN to register to the car. We got our liscences, did the inspection, and then finally got back up to the window to register the car only to find out we couldn't do it because we don't have the title, because its a lease! Aaahhhhhh!!! And we later found out that we couldn't have done it anyway even if we had the title because we hadn't had the car smogged yet(?!?!) which is apparently a test you have to have done every other year that costs like at least 30 dollars. Nice. So after VW sends us some official paperwork we get to back to the DMV. After that nonsense we went to get eye exams and spent 2 hours there because everyone was so slow.

Today I found out that since our building is so new I have to go to the post office to pick up our mail for a little while. And no one is sure for how long. Super.

So, tomorrow morning the movers are coming finally (thank god, I am desperate for furniture) and on Tuesday and Wednesday I have more interviews. Hey at least I'm not bored.
