Weekender...

It was a pretty eventful weekend.  My sister was in town for work and we met for dinner on Friday night...WITH GQ!!!  Yup, he's meeting the family...starting with my sister.  We had such a great night of sushi, sake, and stimulating conversation.  GQ was great and I could tell they both enjoyed meeting each other.  *whew*

Saturday, GQ and I head down to Union Square to watch the Chinese New Year Parade.  I was shocked how many people were there and how people totally lose their minds at events like this.  There were near stampedes and crushed crowds on every corner.  GQ and I got stuck at one corner and I was literally being pushed at first and then just squeezed to an uncomfortable, unbreathable crowd.  It was scary!  But, at the end, GQ got us through and we even found a great spot on top of a parked firetruck to watch the rest of the parade.  What a blast!

Sunday we went to check out some open houses in Castro, Noe, and Cole Valley.  What cute areas.  I really, really like it down there!  If I do find a place in the city, I'm gonna try and focus my efforts to those neighborhoods.  I just like the people...the vibe.  

After a pretty drama-filled, stressful week at work last week, I'm looking forward to hopefully a more laid-back week ahead.  ...and on to share my first Valentines Day with GQ.  I'm not a "go big or go home" type when it comes to V-day...so hopefully, we'll keep it simple and casual.  I'm pretty sure that's his hope too.  

Oh...and by they way...his name is Graham.  :)  I thought it was time to share...
