| Hello people. As you may (or may not) notice, I haven't been updating the site for like, one week already. I'm so freakin' tired! I'm probably not gonna have time to update the site for quite a while because 1) I just started my full-time job (FINALLY!!!) and 2) I'm moving to a new place (just a tiny little studio, but at least it's mine). I'll be so ridiculously busy it's not even funny. But once I settle into the new place and get used to the commute, I'll hopefully be able to update this site regularly again.
Until then, hasta la vista baby!

| From a previous entry, you can get free wedding favor samples here. So I placed an order for my 3 free samples, and I got my boyfriend to order another 3 for me (hehehe...hehe...). I've received all 6 of them!!! Yay!
Here's what I got:
"Two peas in a pod" salt & pepper shaker
"Cut out for each other" cookie cutters
"Love beyond measures" measuring spoons
And here's what I got my boyfriend to get for me:
"Key to my heart" bottle opener
"The perfect pair" salt & pepper shaker
And last, but not least, heart bottle stopper
And let me just say, the two peas in a pod is very, very, very, very cute. I cannot emphasize enough. Oh and everything else is also very cool, maybe except for the cookie cutter. They just look like ordinary cookie cutters.
All in all, good deal.

| In all my years of living in the city (12-is that a long time?), I've never even heard of the SF Chocolate Factory until today. It's moments like these I feel like such a homebody, don't know anything that goes on in the city, even though I live in the city. *Sigh* My boyfriend thinks I'm sheltered. 
Anyhow, I think this would be pretty darn good desserts, for rehearsal dinners, for wedding favors, or a Saturday night. 
I give you...Double Chocolate Vodka Earthquake Cake.
"You’ve never had a cake quite like this before: buttery, dense chocolate cake is drenched in StolichnayaTM vodka to give it a moistness and flavor that will jolt your taste buds!"
Man...I can't wait to go try it out. Heck...I'm not waiting until Saturday night. I might just swing by there tonight...
Maybe it's a good thing I never knew about the Chocolate Factory. And now, it's too late.
The San Francisco Chocolate Factory
286 12th St., San Francisco, CA 94103. Open Tues to Sat, 12-6pm. | | |
| Having trouble deciding on a date? I can't tell you which days are good, but TheKnot does give advice on which days you should avoid:
-Major Holidays (MLK, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Thanksgiving)
Why? "Holiday weekend wedding have pros and cons. You've got an extra day for
the festivities (and recovery!), plus it's easier to host the affair on
Sunday, which is often less expensive than Saturday events. However,
costs of travel and hotels may be higher. Also, having your wedding on
a holiday weekend might adversely affect your guest list. Some families
have standing holiday weekend plans or traditions that they'd prefer
not to have disrupted."
-Religious Holidays (Palm Sunday, Easter Sunday, Passover, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa)
Why? "Be mindful of religious holidays (yours and your guests') when planning
your wedding. There may even be restrictions at your house of worship
as to whether you're allowed to marry at these times."
There are other notable holidays as well, such as Valentine's Day (costly!), Mother/Father's Day, Halloween, etc.
