Can I have a cupcake?

We've been back from Cabo for almost a week now -- it's taken that long to unpack our bags, do the laundry, and really feel like we're settled back into our routine, but I guess that's just what vacations do to you.  I'd give anything to be back on that beach with a margarita in my hand.... But I digress.

I haven't gotten around to uploading pictures yet, but I promise they're coming soon!  In the meantime, I wanted to share with you an interesting interaction we had yesterday with one of the many Crazies on the BART:

(Shane and Taylor enter BART train and unknowingly sit facing a BART Crazy. Shane is holding a bag.)

BART Crazy: What you got in that bag?

Shane: Cupcakes.

BART Crazy: Can I have one?

Shane: No.

BART Crazy: Oh... You only have one in there?

Shane: No, I have two.  One for her and one for me.

BART Crazy: Oh... How much do cupcakes cost these days?

Shane: I dunno, 3 bucks?

BART Crazy: Oh...

(BART Crazy frantically exits at next stop.)

Who asks a random person on the train to have one of their cupcakes??? That is not normal.

Volunteering

Last Friday, Shane and his team at work volunteered at a soup kitchen!

That's Shane in the top right

I don't really have any details other than Shane had fun with his friends. I just wanted to share his good deed :-)

Life Lately

It's been almost a week since my last post and a full month since my last "Life Lately," so enjoy this half-hearted attempt at keeping you informed and entertained...

It rained...

Happy Thursday!

Crazies on the BART

As I've mentioned before, Shane and I ride the BART to and from work everyday.  Being such regulars, we both really feel like we've seen it all.  Oh, the stories we could tell -- the smelly folks we've smelled, the crazy rantings we've heard, etc.  I've been trying to collect photos of strange stuff I see on the BART (which is surprisingly difficult -- the crazies tend to sense when they're being photographed), and so far I only have 1 interesting photo.  But Shane came to the rescue with this video he took this morning of an interesting individual he was seated near.  I give you, the crazies on the BART:

Life Lately

Dear Captive Audience,

I am so deeply apologetic for my recent blog absence.  As I mentioned in my last post, I am finally employed!  Therefore, things (like blogging) that I used to do during my idle homemaking days have unfortunately fallen by the wayside.  I have several post topics in mind, but I just haven't had time to sit and write or upload photos.  I'll save those topics for eventual blogging and in the meantime hopefully you'll be temporarily satisfied with a few photos from life lately...

New coffeemaker! It's a MoccaMaster and so far we're quite pleased :-)

Archie is still as cute as ever (smelling my Congrats-On-Your-New-Job flowers)

TransAmerica Pyramid -- San Fran's famous skyscraper that I get to walk by everyday on my way to work!

We've been having yucky, foggy, rainy weather A LOT lately

I just discovered this ice cream at Safeway. Haven't tried it yet, but I AM on my 8th box of Thin Mint cookies for the season (and it probably won't be my last)

Since we'll be at work 8 hours a day now, Archie has a new best friend named Kathy who will walk him Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons

Teaser: The New Kitchen

They're painting our kitchen/living room accent wall today! "After" photos coming soon...

Weird and Random San Fran Stuff

So that's pretty much it for the interesting photos of San Francisco.  What I have left now are the random weird things I photographed.  Ta-dah!!!

Not weird really, I just haven't seen an electric car before

 

So charming!

Thriller?

Who left these? And why?

Gorgeous!

 

Reminds me of Austin's Cathedral of Junk

Yes, that is a PeeWee Herman doll

Interesting things I've done this week....

... I use the word "interesting" quite loosely, as you'll see:

1. Painted my toenails!

2. Made a fruit salad! (I actually do this everyday for breakfast, but isn't it a great photo??)

3. Took a jillion pictures of Archie!

As you can tell, unemployment is making me stir crazy.  Here's hoping I find a job soon!!!
