Next Time, Bring Me Some Pants With an Elastic Waist Band

When Scott told me that he and Zach were coming into town a few weeks ago, I had no idea what I was in for. I mean...I'd only seen both of them twice before in my entire life. All I really knew was that they make me laugh. A lot. With that knowledge alone, I was ready for them to come. I'd been needing a weekend full of laughs for a while, so it was just what the doctor ordered.

We started the weekend off right with dinner at Tasty Curry. Pants down, it is my favorite Indian Restaurant in San Francisco. I could seriously eat it every day. I've blogged about it before, so you know how I feel already. We saw some familiar faces there too.




Later on that night when we got back to my house, Rebecca and I introduced Scott and Zach to The Twins. Hello, Chuckie. Scary! We had many more photos from this little photo shoot, but I figure that this is enough to give you nightmares for a few days.

For lunch on Friday, I met Zach and Scott down at the Ferry Building for lunch. While we were waiting for everyone to arrive, we sampled these amazing dipping oils. At $14.95 a bottle, we figured it was best to just sample and not buy our own.

Sometimes you see something and you have no idea that its really foreshadowing your next couple of days.

Finally, our entire party was there, so we went to the Slanted Door for some fine Vietnamese cuisine. I'd never been there before and had always wanted to go; and let me tell you. It was worthwhile. The company was great too. Erica and I have a mutual friend from Utah who was in town for a few weeks, so she met up with us too. Our moms are good friends and neighbors in Utah, so it was great catching up!

Though I don't have any pictures from Friday night, we went to Cha Cha Cha's on Haight and wow. Being with Zach & Scott on Haight was quite an experience. I've never been offered drugs so often in my entire life. The food at Cha Cha Cha's was great, but since I was with 3 guys, we went to the Crepevine for dessert.

Saturday we met up with Rita at The Grove on Chestnut before heading out to Muir Woods. I hadn't been there since I was a little girl, and it was awesome.

So awesome in fact that we acted like Roman sculptures while standing on a big rock.

Just kidding. ha! I'm sure that everyone who goes to Muir Woods has this picture, but what can I say? We're inside a tree! Hello!

Since I hadn't been to Muir Woods in quite some time, I don't know if this is a seasonal thing, but hello, LADYBUGS! They were everywhere...and lucky for us, they weren't flying. I did feel them crawling up my legs though after we'd been standing there for a while. Sick! Don't they look like little candies?

And here's the Power Point that we arranged for this photo.

Somewhere beneath these ladybugs you can see Zach's nose and facial hair.

Our next stop was Muir Beach. Scott swore to us that you could find sea anenomes there, but all we saw were huge waves and some people braving the cold water.

On our way back into the city, we stopped for a group photo. It's weird thinking that I just met these guys within the past 6 months. I love things like that.

For dinner that night, we met up with some friends of Scott & Zach's at Jackson Fillmore. We were due for some much desired Mitchell's Ice Cream. By the way...are Scott and Zach making my butt look big??

And don't you worry. Italian food & ice cream were obviously not enough because we had an 11:30pm reservation at Mexico DF for some tacos.

On Sunday afternoon, we had one thing left to do before Scott & Zach left town. It involved peanut butter and one slice of bread each.

FOLDYOVERS!!
This is where our friendship all began.


Don't be confused. This is not a half sandwich. Maybe a distant relative though.

Man I love these guys.

And you know, a lot of girls may have been running some type of marathon this weekend, but I was running a different type of marathon. In fact, I called it the "Lane Bryant Eat Your Way Across San Francisco Marathon"...and I won a pumpkin pie trophy.

On more than one occasion, I looked at Zach and Scott and said "You guys....I'm going to be bulimic for a few weeks after you leave." Don't worry...just kidding, but really, anyone have any ex-lax?
