Friday: I stopped off at one of my favorite places and realised..I didn't have my credit card. Luckily some nice people picked up my bill.
Saturday:Went to a Fourth Of July party..took a mango-cheese chipotle(dressing) salad which was a big hit.Also made saltine toffee-saltine crackers topped with caramel and chocolate chips-also a big hit.And very easy, too!
Sunday:My dad and I went to the fair for a couple of hours.We had free tickets and it was the last day of the fair so thought it'd be a good idea to go which we did.I only need a few hours which is exactly how long we spent there.
Monday:I went to UTC(University Town Centre) a local mall. I thought I wasn't going to be able to get home from there because they had the buses in a different area. I figured it out(thankfully) and was able to get home safe.
In the evening we went to Shakespeare's Pub in San Diego, which is one of my favourite, if not my very favourite, English pub in San Diego. I had a curry on french fries(delicious!) and a pint of Stella Artois. My dad had one of the happy hour deals-a $5 hamburger and a pint of Newcastle Brown.
Then we went to the Old Globe and saw Twelfth Night. Rutina Wesley, who is in this season of Hannibal, was supposed to be playing Viola, but last night there was an understudy.The understudy was really good fortunately so Rutina taking a night off was not such a big deal for me.

[Oh such a perfect day..I'm glad I spent it with you]
Yesterday was Mother's Day. I made cinnamon rolls with real cream cheese icing, and my dad made bacon and a scramble with spinach,mushrooms and cheese.It was delicious.
Then, we went to downtown San Diego, to the central library. By the time we got there it wasn't quite open yet so we walked around and walked to Petco Park, our baseball stadium. Yep, it's right downtown(and also right by the trolley tracks..they figured that right for sure.) There is a sort of parkway for people to walk and bike on right by the stadium, and on the other side of it is a hill.You can watch the games from there(I've never done it,but I so would if I got the chance!)
The library is REALLY nice, pretty much brand new(has been open for less than a couple of months). They have an amazing selection of periodicals(and back issues of magazines-twice what most libraries do!) It's really nice inside, too, very open and bright with lots of windows and lots of cool artwork
Then, we walked to a restaraunt which was a little further than I thought it was going to be. I got really tired all of a sudden on the way there-I think it may have been a low blood sugar issue as I was fine after I had something to eat. Anyways, we went to a place called Cafe Chloe(which is my 10-year-old niece's name!)We sat at the bar and we all but took up all of the seats.
The food was really good-I had a hamburger with grilled onions and cheese-my niece had the mac and cheese-it looked really good! My brother also had the hamburger, my mom had granola and yogurt, my sister-in-law had the Croque Monsieur , my 14-year old nephew had a chocolate croissant and an order of fries(carbo loading!) my 17-year-old nephew had tomato soup and my dad had charceuterie(a bunch of different types of meat and pickled carrots and mustards).
Everyone LOVED their food.My burger was especially good.

Friday:I met a friend for coffee. My nieces and nephews came over to my parents' house and spent the night which was fun. Watched Tootsie(which they didn't like) and The Sound Of Music, which they did.
Saturday:I went to Pt. Loma with my mom and hung out at Liberty Station, the old Navy Training Centre which is now mixed use(restaraunts, galleries,shops..and even a school and a church!)
We went out to dinner at a local Japanese restaraunt for my sister-in-law's birthday.
Sunday: A chilled out Sunday. Went to Panera, and then over to Barnes &Noble for an hour or so.

Friday:We went to Brett's Barbecue for my brother's birthday(which was actually Saturday). SO good-I always order the same thing:A brisket sandwich and fries.Then to my brother's house for presents and cake(a spice cake which was different-and it had frosting with a bit of lemon juice which gave it a really good flavour.)
Saturday:Went to the grocery store-it took the cab *ages* to get there because the traffic was so bad. I actually thought about trying to find some way to get home on the bus(Have I ever written about riding the bus?I will one of these times. I have some interesting stories to tell-hell, I could write a whole book about riding the bus.
Sunday:I started walking towards downtown Oceanside-going to have some breakfast-but then I remembered that the Local Tap House does brunch. And I am glad that I did. They don't have a huge menu, but I was able to find something that I liked:A Elvis waffle: A chocolate chip waffle with peanut butter on the top of it with glazed- something had a cinnamon flavour-it may have been the bananas-bananas,fresh blueberries, fresh raspberries and fresh strawberries. And a side of maple-agave glazed bacon. It was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten.

[weekend report January 9-11]
Friday: Went to UTC(University Town Centre, a local mall). Later on I went to a talk given by the Civic and Historical Society they belong to(the town they live in has a lot of historical places!)
Saturday:We went to Point Loma Seafoods(which I wrote about the other day).The weather was really nice and we walked around a bit before we took my aunt to the airport..that night though,the weather changed, and it rained!
Sunday: A lazy rainy day..I went to Whole Foods to get the makings for my eggplant parm.It always takes me *ages* to shop when I go to Whole Foods because I am so unfamiliar with it! The making of the eggplant parm hit one snag but it was fixable(didn't really matter, to be honest!) and it tasted SO good! We watched the Golden Globes whilst we ate dinner.

Sunday: We celebrated my niece's 10th birthday(her birthday was Saturday but she had a party that we didn't go to.) Also,I got to meet my niece Remi's boyfriend.She's been dating him a while, but this was my first time meeting him, if you can believe that!)

[weekend report, december 5-7]
Friday: I went to UTC(University Town Center) -my favorite shopping centre.
Saturday:I went to Barnes And Noble. Wrapped gifts(well, more like I threw them in gift bags. I don't do wrapping. )We went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner.I ordered chicken fettuccini which was pretty ho-hum.
Sunday:We went to IKEA so my mom could get a Christmas present, then to Coronado to see the Hotel Del Christmas tree. We drove along the Strand which ends at the border between the U.S. and Mexico. You also go right by the Navy SEAL training centre on that drive. They don't advertise that it's there, but it's a known thing. Coronado, or North Island,is home to a large Navy base.) Then we went to Miguel's which is right across the street from the Hotel Del.
One of the reasons I love going to Coronado(apart from the Hotel Del tree and the Del itself and Miguel's) is Bay Books which is a great indie bookstore. It's the sort of place which has employee recomendations written on notecards. Looking around, and reading the cards, I have to say that I agree with their taste in books :)

[weekend report nov. 14-16]
Friday: Headed down to my parents' house. Had navy bean soup for dinner(it was cooler and cloudy that night so it hit the spot) and garlic bread.) My mom was setting up for her holiday boutique which was Saturday, so I just got everything ready so it was no stress for her.
Saturday:My mom's Holiday Boutique was today. My parents belong to the Civic and Historical Society for the town they live in. The boutique is their annual fundraiser.They always have a lot of great stuff there(and make a ton of money which they definitely did this year!) My aunt and one of my cousins were there for the day-They hung out at the bazaar for a while and then the 3 of us went to lunch at one of my favourite Mexican food restaraunts. They wanted to do some shopping so we did that.
Then, my brother and his wife and kids came over to my parents' house and my dad went and got pizza. I went back home that night.
Sunday: Went to Barnes and Noble and had my coffee then walked over to my gym(which is within walking distance) and worked out for the first time in quite a while(my muscles were letting me know they were not happy with me later but as my dad says "it's a good kind of sore".
No Hannibal Rewatch yesterday-I spent a long time at the bookstore,then I wanted to spend plenty of time working out,but not so much I was really feeling it, then I went to Trader Joe's and did a little grocery shopping.

Friday: Went to Coffee Bean And Tea Leaf. That was about the extent of my day. It was cooler and cloudy-appropriate weather for the day, I must say! I got a TON of trick-or-treaters-get this:I had 3 big bags of Costco candy and I got rid of all of it.
Saturday:The weather was inclement(rained on and off all day) so I stayed indoors for the most part.I did a couple of loads of laundry though.
Sunday: I went to the Laurence Welk Theater in Escondido with my mom and dad and my niece and nephews and saw a production of Oklahoma! It was really good-long-2 plus hours-but I loved it. Then we had a early dinner at In &Out Burger(the perfect end to the perfect day!)

[weekend report(with added thursday content)]
Thursday: I flew to Oklahoma City. Can i just say that the TSA pre-screening(where you don't have to take your shoes off, etc.) is the best thing ever? I got to Oklahoma City, hung out with him and my sister-in-law and bonded with her Frenchie Clarence.
Then we went over to my sister-in-law's parents' house so my brother could open his birthday gifts(it was his birthday). For dinner we went to a place called The Ranch which was a very high-end steak house.
Friday: My brother and I went to Panera. Then we went to the mall so I could pick out a Christmas present at Pandora(the charm store) I hung out at the mall for a few hours then came home. Dinner was at Kevin Durant(a basketball player for the OKC Thunder)'s restaraunt. It was really nice-they have menus that light up when you open them. I ordered honey chicken which came with cheese grits which were delicious. And since we were in the neighbourhood we had to hit up Bass Pro Shops.
Saturday:Panera(again), and Sam's Club. Later on(since I'd never been there and wanted to go to a museum) we checked out the Oklahoma City Bombing museum. It's a must-see.
My sister-in-law tried her hand at making pretzels which turned out really good. Dinner was home-cooked(chops). Then we watched 3 episodes of Hannibal which they really liked.
Sunday:Church, and Tex Mex food afterwards. Tex Mex food is so good but it's quite a bit different than Mexican food in California. I wanted to find a Christmas gift for Clarence so we went to Petsmart(and took him with us-I think he was a little overwhelmed!)
After dinner, we watched 3 more episodes of Hannibal :)

Friday: I went to UTC, and went to my parents' house afterwards. I got to see their remodeled kitchen which looks great. I love their fridge-you open it up and you can actually find stuff in there. They also got a new light fixture in their living room, and a new light fixture(which is really bright!) in the entryway.
Also, I got a new bed, which I love :)
Saturday:Went to Point Loma with my mom. Kinda changed up my routine.Went to Con Pane which is a bakery. There was a long line to order but it moved quickly. Whilst you're in line you can see all the pastries they had. I had a brioche twist with chocolate which I thought was just so-so-and a cup of coffee. I sat and drank my coffee and people watched for the best part of an hour.
Then I went to the Corvette Diner for lunch which was busy(there was a birthday party(or several?) going on.
Of course the highlight of the day was the Paley Hannibal panel :)
Sunday:I got a pre-trip haircut,a flu shot(my arm kinda hurts as I'm writing this but not anything I can't handle).Then,after dinner we went to my brother's house for dessert-chocolate fondue-he had all sorts of things to dip in it-pretzels, pound cake,and strawberries to name a few things. :)
This was one of my busier weekends in a while. When I'm at my house, my weekend reports are like "laundry, went to the gym". I need to vary my weekends at home a little more, I think :P

Friday: I went to UTC(University Town Center)
Saturday: I went to Starbucks,the grocery store and did a load of laundry.In other words, a busy weekend Saturday!
Sunday:Went to the gym(after having not gone for a while.. I have to take the bus there and the weather's been hot. Which makes me NOT want to go to the gym. And I totally would take a taxi there but that could get expensive.Which makes me very glad that the weather is starting to be more typical for this time of the year.

[weekend report]
Friday: Didn't leave the house until late because I wound up hanging out at my house so that I could watch Claire Danes on Kelly And Michael-it was a great interview-the first thing they asked her was about Cyrus(and they talked about Hugh, too). She was on there to promote Homeland(which had its season premiere last night)
Then, I took the bus to Encinitas, but the driver didn't run the a/c. And it was HOT that day. WTF.
I did some Christmas shopping(yep..I try to get some of it done on the early side-I just can't go to the mall at Christmastime. Too many people!
Saturday:I went to Encinitas again and hung out at Barnes &Noble.Then later on we went down to Kearny Mesa and went to 99 Ranch Market which is a pan-Asian(Chinese-Japanese-Thai you get the idea) market.
It's incredible! They have all this stuff I've never seen up close(rabbit! durian!) and they have a tank full of live fish, and whole fish(on ice ) available to buy. Several people on Yelp(I checked out some reviews before I went) and they said it smelled fishy-well, it would, they have a fish market-but I didn't think it was unpleasant though!)
We went to Jasmine, which my parents had been to before, but I hadn't. Ever since the place down the street from my parents' house closed,we've all been looking for a replacement. Jasmine was pretty darn good. Yep, it's a drive, but it's worth it.
Sunday:My parents and I went to IKEA(usually I'm good for one trip a year but I've been twice recently!) and we ate at the restaraunt. I branched out and had the baby back ribs(usually I have the meatballs). I have to say, the ribs were REALLY good.I would order them again. for sure.

Friday: I went to UTC(University Town Center) a local mall. There were a ton of people in line to get the new iPhone.
Saturday:Went to Liberty Station(the old Navy training centre) which they have turned into an area with lots of shops and restaraunts. There are these big open grassy areas as well as courtyards and there is *always* something going on, especially on the weekends, I went to Luna Grill and had a disappointing lunch.
Then, friends of my parents' stopped by and brought some appetisers, all of which were garlic-y(I especially liked the garlic pistachios-those things were *tasty*.)
Sunday: Waffles(as is usual on Sundays at my parents' house) and a trip to IKEA(about which more tomorrow!)

Friday:Went to Beach Break for breakfast..headed down to my parents' house. We had pizza from a local pizza place(with REALLY good veggie pizza) and saw a Noel Coward play(Fallen Angels) at the local theater. I stayed at my parents' Friday night.
Saturday:Had donuts(yum!), went to Peet's and had a dirty chai(chai with a shot of espresso). Then the grocery store and a load of laundry. I had a beermosa(beer and orange juice.)Tasted so good but thanks to the combination of the alcohol and the heat, it made me sleepy.
Sunday:Got a late start to the day.. My brother and niece came up my way and I got to show them my gym(suffice it to say that they were impressed.) Just hung out at home and went to my brother Steve's house around 5 for a barbecue. I ate too much though :P
Then, when I got home I listened to The Dinner Party Show with Christopher Rice(son of Anne)and Eric Shaw Quinn. I've listened before, when Bryan Fuller was on(and he was on again last night-promoting High Moon,his TV movie which was supposed to be a series which is on SyFy tonight actually.) But.. he talked about Hannibal a fair deal.. he said that filming starts October 20th and that the S3 airdate won't be 'till April or May of next year. I just have to tell myself that the wait is going to be worth it.
They have a party line where people can call in and ask questions and I recognised several of the people that called in-my fellow Fannibals-my people!
