New KitchenAid Mixer

Got a great KitchenAid stand mixer from a nice guy on Craigslist! Already made white chocolate cappuccino mousse! Delish!! He only wanted $61 for it since it was missing a couple of attachments. Next? Mashed potatoes!

New Socks!

I cannot say enough good things about the O Basic over the knee socks from Sock Dreams (www.sockdreams.com).They are comfy, fit very well and actually stay up! And, at $6 a pair (that may seem a lot for a single pair of socks but they are worth it and actually very affordable if you check out some of the other socks at the site), I got 5 pair and am really pleased with my cozy socks. I grabbed black, grey, cream, plum and hunter green. Cause you gotta have green socks. :)

The bathroom

Got my Oder of decals from tasty suite on Etsy! Love them and I think "Get naked." sums up the bathroom nicely.

Happy Chinese New Year! Well today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Ox. We missed the Flower Festival last weekend (D'oh!) but we will be sure to catch the Chinese New Year Parade and we have to find some good dim sum somewhere.  YUM!!! Barbara brought stemed BBQ pork buns to work last week, thank you Barbara! I'm hoping to swing by one of the Chinese Bakeries early enough to get a good selection of sweets one day. Happy New Year Everyone, From Suzi and justin in the San Francisco Chinatown!

Christmas toy

Thanks Santa (Justin) for the Nintendo Wii and new boots! I think the most enjoyment though will be from the squeaky squirrels inside this plush log Brodie got! Happy Holidays everyone!! Love and best wishes for the new year (Go Obama!!!)!

To boldly go...

Still in Arizona but it isn't all cacti and jackrabbits. Today Justin Willy and I went to the Phoenix science center for their Stsr Trek exhibit. Here you can see us on the transporter deck "materializing". Actually they took our picture and one option was the lenticular format which changes depending on the angle of the picture. Heading back to my foggy home by the bay tomorrow. I really miss home though visiting Justins family in Arizona has been great. More pictures once I get home and download. :)

Best. Boots. EVER.

I have wanted a pair of Frye Harness Boots for a while. they are gorgeous boots (in my opinion) look like they kick butt when worn with jeans, but look just as awesome with tights and a skirt or dress.
I have seriously wanted a pair for a long time. So last weekend I was helping my neighbor Samantha have a yard sale since she was moving to Istanbul. Here was something like how it went:

Me (internal comment): Are those boots? Those can't be for the yard sale.
Me (aloud): Samantha are these for the yard sale?
Samantha: Yep!
Me (internally): Wow, those are great they look like Frye harness boots but I bet they aren't Frye's.
(Checks tag and logo inside)
OMG. They are Fryes! These are awesome! They cannot possibly be my size
Me(aloud): Samantha, what size are these?
Me (internally): pleasebesize7, pleasebesize7, pleasebesize....
Samantha: They're size 7.
Me *GASP* (trying to sound cool): Um....how much do you want for them?
Samantha: Uh....$20?

And that, my friends,. was how I came to own an awesome pair of $228 boots for $20. They are a tiny bit scuffed, but with these boots wear only adds to their beauty. They have a nice square toe box so there is room and they are fantastic. I have worn them to work twice. I can ear them for my walk to work and there is no problem.  Love. These. Boots! :)
