Turkey Break (part 2): SF Academy of Science!

Last Wednesday, we went to the SF Academy of Science, one of my favorite places where I used to go when I was a kid!
..Of course, my camera battery was totally dead, because I forgot to charge it.
{But I did take a couple of iphone pictures!}
My favorite part was revisiting places I loved as a kid as an adult-- you see things totally differently!
The boy liked the fish and reptiles-- and learning about sharks!
And then we went to the extra special planetarium show and learned about the Big Bang and life and cells and stars and planets and stuff. It was awesome. We are nerds.

See the alligator?!

These frogs were just the COOLEST color IRL

That's a seahorse!!!

This was presh: all these kids wrote their ideas for improving global climate change.

The things they wrote were awesome! And adorable!

Great quotes.

Chameleons are awesome. Just saying. AWESOME. 

Fashionable, F*ckable, Friday: SF

I love being in the city, because of soo many reasons. Here are a few:
a) there're awesome places like this supercool mural to take pictures
b) it's cold enough to wear lots and lots of layers
c) people have really cool and interesting fashion.. it's inspiring!
d) there's so much going on, no one looks twice at me taking outfit pictures in the middle of the sidewalk.
e) it smells like home! and happiness! So glad to be back :)

Outfit Details:

Coat: Hollister Co.

Scarf: Cost Plus World Market

Dress: Forever 21

Belt, Socks, and Boots: thrifted

Tights: Capezio's dancewear

Please excuse the silly picture where my head is cut off.  The boy was playing photographer, and he decided to goof off and start doing "crazy hipster angles!!" etc (aka totally not flattering, hehe) and my face was a little... angry.  So I chopped it out.

This outfit is what I wore on Tuesday for exploring around the city.  We took a romantic walk through the park, and also had to walk a lot from all of our random parking places.  Good thing these boots, which I just thrifted over the weekend, are SUPER comfortable!  I'll probably be wearing them all week. :)

Turkey Break (part 1)!

I'm finally back in NorCal for some wonderful R&R.  Spent the first few days in SF with the boy, and then tonight we're heading home for thanksgiving (and he's going to meet my parents!).

Yesterday we did a little exploring.  It was fun, but apparently the boy has been afflicted with a terrible disease.  It's called dumbface.  It results in his utter inability to look cute, serious, or smile in a picture.  Especially if I look good.

On the ones where we're trying to be silly, he suddenly smiles, thus ruining another cute picture. Sigh. What a little goofball.

Sometimes, I give him a mean teacher look and he behaves. Sometimes.

We have a lot of fun planned for the next few days, so stay tuned.

And, sorry I haven't updated in a while, school/ work has been craaazzyy. Now that I have a couple of days off, posting should get back to normal. Hopefully.

Recently Stumbled :)

Every so often, I like to give you guys an idea for things that I have tickled my fancy recently (#whydoesthatsounddirty?).  So, without further ado, here are the last 15 things that I gave a thumbs up to on Stumbleupon, along with what I think about them:

This is how I feel about my boy when I finally get to talk to him after a long day <3

AH! Too cute!

This artist is so fantastic!

Great quote about love.

Oprah knows things?!

OMFG I love dance too much. Such great lines! So beautiful! AH!

Another great quote about love.

How I Met Your Mother is awesome.

How to transfer a photograph to a block of wood.

Love the earth.

Yet another great quote about love.

Dance <3

Interesting thoughts on life and the world.

Inspirational.

Great stuff no one told me.

Enjoy! Go Stumble your hearts away..

Berkeley Date Night!

Sunday night I took the boy out for Ethiopian food at this little place in Berkeley.

We had a great time!
Unfortunately, timing got messed up (BART took forever, and I went for an ill-planned hike :P), so although I dressed up in my new heels and dress, I didn't actually get any makeup on my face.  Luckily, he has seen me looking much MUCH worse, and also isn't a big make-up guy. The night was saved! Haha.

I liked the food well enough, but it wasn't my new favorite or anything.

Afterwards we went out to ice cream sandwiches with my sister. I got so excited/ distracted by cookies PLUS ice cream I forgot to take pictures. Oops.

I cannot WAIT to show you guys my new boots that I got (and wore on this date).

I made up a song about them and sang it as we walked through downtown Berkeley.

It went kinda like this: 

"I love my shoes! I loooove my shoes! My shoes are so pretty!" *hop* *hop* "nneeeeeww shoes! you are so pretty! I looooooveeesss you!!" *hop* *skip* *hop* 

Boy was embarrassed.
