A Must-Go to Girlfriend Day




Forget about homework, taxes, laundry, running, everything. I had to pay my friend Ann some much-overdue visit. The woman got married, bought a new, house, got pregnant, had a baby - all in a year's time. With our history together? Going to the wedding was simply not enough - did I mention she also just had her birthday? ARggghh - I owe her some major social call. So off I went to the bay - two hours drive, smoggy, gloomy weather, cold and dreary. But seeing her with the new baby was such a treat. The baby is so cute and cheeky - see picture--

ohhhh, don't they look lovely? I love brand-new families! Anyway, the photo was taken at glam Chinese eatery on the very upscalish Santana Row in Santa Clara. Check this: we saw a gleaming Bentley park along the Border's Book Store and an Asian couple went in it. But Vince (that's Ann's hubby) pointed out: if you have a Bentley, you should have a driver! Right, no?
Well, anyway, here is one of those trendy Sinoese dim sum item - spring roll (lumpia) with shrimp, mango and a mayo dip - avant garde and yummy.


Afterwards, we sent Vince home to tend to Emma (the baby), while Ann and I did a walk-about the Row. And as it usually happens with us, we found the best deals ever to commemorate our shopping day forever. I found a heavily discounted dress (although tad too big, but who cares? It was down to $20 from $189!!!!) at my fave store - Antropologie! I love this store!


Afterwards, we ended the day with shots of caffeine and gratuitous plate of four layer-chocolate mousse that I swear tasted like ice cream.
It was a good day.
