Haha! I was gonna do a post here, then I thought I should Yelp. THEN I figured if I am going to write anything it needs to be on my own site. I mean really. I have so little content in me anymore so everything needs to filter through here. That’s why I avoid Twitpic too. All my content needs to be HERE.
Anyways, I just finished a small bowl or leftover mac and cheese from dinner at R Gang Eatery last night. I cannot believe how good that stuff is. (R Gang Eatery. If you haven’t been and live in SD, GO NOW! So amazing…) I know Wednesday is an odd night for me to be out. As a rule I like Mondays or my weekends off for being social, but one of my best friends is moving away so we are in a race against time to do stuff together before she leaves… She hadn’t had dinner at R Gang yet, just brunch, and doing dinner is a must. We like R Gang because it is the restaurant of Rich Sweeney. He’s like a local celeb after being on Top Chef. Also he’s just a really great guy. So there we were, doing a bit of a Food Parade (lots of different apps and drinks), chatting and having a big time when out of nowhere Rich comes over and sits with us. He had read a Twitter reply about the food and realized Joelle">Joelle was in the dining room. We figured he was just saying hi and chatted a bit. And chatted. It was nice because normally he’s to busy for more than a hello. Actually every time we go in we talk to his mom quite a bit and barely see the busy Chef! After a while he got called away, but still hung out for like 5 more minutes. It was awesome to get to know him a bit more. He’s a great guy with a lot of charm and personality! Easy on the eyes too, LOL. After he left we realized he had sat with us for a half an hour to 45 minutes. How cool is that?
Also all our food was amazing. As great as brunch even! We both got some mac and cheese to go, cause ya gotta have some! We were just too full after doing the whole app menu. LOL. So good tho! It was a great night.

what's up?
Oh look! I DO have a blog!
How is life? Mine, well, pretty good actually. My parents just left Saturday after a fun 7 day visit. Yes, I did say fun. My parents are young for my age as well as young for their ages (it makes sense, think about it). So we were on the go every day. I woke up early, well early for me, every day and took them on an adventure!
Saturday, after fetching them from the San Diego Airport we stopped off at C Level to toast their arrival and enjoy the view. Sunday we headed off to Old Town, where to my surprise there was an Art Festival! We looked at everything. After we were done there, Mom insisted on a trip to the Swap Meet. Ew… we capped off the day with dinner at the Turf Supper Club. Awesome place! What better way to follow up a meal in a dive than a trip to the shishy-est sky bar Altitude?? Monday was all about rest and a home cooked (by me!) meal. Tuesday we did the Geocaching with dad, since it was Richard’s day off. Plus, we wanted to try it with our iPhones. It works! So now we have a log in at the site and 7 caches under our belt. LOL. Obviously Mom had other plans, and was off for a Shopping Day with one of our friends. Later we de-parented at the big SDTweet-Up (#sdtweetup). That was, as always an amazing time! Wednesday my folks and I were off to Temecula Valley Wine Country for a day of tasting and scenery. Fantastic! Thursday was more Geocaching around town. That Geocaching is a great way to see some great sights you wouldn’t otherwise… That night I was pooped so Dad manned the grill and we dined out on the patio at home. Friday was when I finally had to sleep in! Well, till 9:30.. we lazed at the house till Richard got home. He had ditched work early so we shopped and hit up Bing Crosby’s Piano Lounge until it was time for the crowning jewel of the visit: dinner at Kous Kous. My folks got to eat well (very well! you MUST go to Kous Kous!) and meet up with our friends and generally have a great night out. Although we had drinks first at Martinis Above 4th, where the owner stressed me out when he KISSED Richard hello in front of my father. That’s when my father realized we had taken him to a GAY bar. OMG OMG OMG. He never would have known otherwise… Oh well. No harm was done. All was erased by the amazing food at Kous Kous!
As for Saturday… Well that was for packing and the Airport. Buh-bye!
You know what?
I already miss them.
