weekend highlights

1. The woman I sat next to on the way to Dallas for my 3-hour layover offering to get me into the Dallas Admiral's club. The other half does live better.
2. My brother-in-law cooking delicious, perfect fish and grilled asparagus the first night I arrived. Served with the most delicious wine ever
3. Buying a dress that I would normally never buy if I weren't on vacation
4. Returning said dress the next day.
5. Going to a benefit auction for the San Francisco Children's museum. A spectacle. I declined to bid on the $34,000 vacation
6. Watching the Bay-to-Breakers race Sunday. Lots of naked people. It's really funny to see naked people wearing shoes and socks and sunglasses.
7. Walking up hills, which don't exist in the midwest. I discovered that I indeed have calf muscles, although my leg is shaped like a wrapping paper tube from knee to ankle.
8. Playing with my adorable and hilarious nieces.
9. Feeling brilliant when I thought of a way to make one niece stay in bed at night (the nightime fairy will bring a treat in the morning if you stay in bed all night).
10. Feeling really bad when brilliant idea backfired and niece clutched at me and cried in fear of the strange "Fairy" (insert SF gay joke here)
11. Spending lots and lots of time with my beloved sister and bro-in-law
12. Chuckling to self as security asked if I would take off Ellie's booties and put them through the scanner. Ellie the shoe-bomber. I mean bootie-bomber.
