Monday: Pilates at the gym. My co-worker friend got us free passes to a swanky gym and we have been using them like it's the New Year. Pilates was a little tough, but we weren't even sore the next day. I feel like Jane Fonda.
Lentil soupie for dinner.
Tuesday: Zumba.
Wednesday: Met Mr. Craigslist Salsa in Diamond Heights. He wasn't the typical dancer. He's 40 years-old, white and really outspoken. He thinks Roger should have moved to the US a long time ago. He suggested that I tell Roger that I can do without him if he doesn't get on it. The reason is that I have above average looks in the states even though I'm a little below average in Amsterdam. I didn't think that was a convincing argument.
Thursday: Traveled to Daly City by BART, back by bus. Saw the episode of Seinfeld where George's co-worker tells him the shrimp store called and they are running out shrimp. Zumba.
Friday: Flamenco is tap dancing in beautiful dresses with way better music. Last night I attended the De Young museum's opening night of Balenciaga and Spain. Flamenco dancers opened the floor with a gypsy king esque band - really fun! Emily Katz, ex-Visalian and current friend happened to be a member which meant we got free drink tickets. We flirted with the guy who the gave the tickets and he doubled ours. Emily said by none of our power because he was gay. She says my gaydar is rusty, but he was totally checking us out, so maybe hers is rusty. Two drinks on an empty stomach later, Emily and I picked out our wedding dresses, and what we would wear as fashionable nuns, ate our share of free-member only hazelnuts and pistachios, then began our walk home. I donated my members sticker to a woman so she could see the members only exhibit. Emily disappointingly donated hers to a family, who was skeptical of its use and barely offered a thanks. Whereas, my girl was beautiful and Spanish, and really happy to not have to wait in line. Two points for me.
Saturday: Basically had an open house for the plumbers so they could fix something happening with the pipes. Finally met Toni from Sushi Toni. Cleaned the fridge, mopped the floors, and worked on removing the crap between the stove and wall - serious business. Talked with Roger for more than three hours.
whew, what a week. I'm envious: I can't wait until I can serious exercise again! However, I think I hate Mr. Craigslist Salsa. You're not just above average in the states. I say you are a hottie just like the rest of the Vander Kooi's.
ReplyDeleteWow, Chels, you sure are the true San Franciscan now. And here I was going to tell you that the Garden Show was in San Francisco. I read an article about it, and the pictures looked so neat, way more than just a display of pretty flowers. However, I passed up passing on the info because it was $20 to get in. And looks like you were busy anyway!
ReplyDeleteDid you have drinks and appetizers for the plumbers?
i chuckled a few times when i read this. for the record: we didn't flirt, you flirted with the de young employee.
