Wine Art

October 24, 2013

On Thursday night, I joined some work colleagues for a night of wine and "art". We got the tickets through Living Social, and it was something different to try.

Here's the painting we were aiming to paint:

This was my dismal attempt:

Thank goodness for wine!

2013 NWM

October 20, 2013

The weekend of the Nike Women's Marathon and Half Marathon has arrived! I headed down to the run expo on the Thursday to avoid the crowds (thankfully!).

Will was a sweetie and drove me, Tracy and her mom Laura down to the race start at wee o'clock in the morning. We were running the half marathon.

The race was really fun and it was nice to run with Tracy and Laura. Another half marathon down!

NERDS!!!!

October 8, 2013

I had a work meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday in SF, and for team building, we went...segueway-ing...

Despite the constant screams of "NERD!" echoing in my head, it was actually very fun and I'm glad we had a good excuse to try it.

Makli Chinese

On Wednesday, Key and I checked out the new Chinese restaurant in the Castro called Makli Chinese.

Sizzling rice and seafood soup:

Shanghai dumplings:

Deep fried chicken wings:

Mongolian Beef:

House special chow mein:

The meal was great, would love to live closer so I could get take-out from this place more often!
