Off day

Park to Park was awesome....10 miles amongst friends and acquaintances. Trimphant.
Yesterday, I took a day off to recover from said race. Met a friend for lunch at Encore. Jean and I have been trying to meet for a few months. Her schedule fills up, quickly, and so we selected Tuesday, the 7th, and I remained committed to it.
Encore was lovely. I ate a blt with avocado and roasted vegetables. Good sandwich and wine list was decent.
Purchased tickets for San Francisco, bought earrings and truly enjoyed a relaxing day. Sara Jo, Lindsay and I had not bought our tickets to San Francisco. Last week, the price shot up to $268. Yesterday, they decreased to $209 and I believed that would be our best price option. I spoke to the girls and bought the tickets. San Francisco--here we come!
Mid-afternoon, I texted a few friends to see if they could meet for happy hour. I wanted to continue the easy going vibe.
Jenn agreed to meet me, but only, if it was an easy night.
Right. If only that were the case. My friend, Jenn, and I tend to always go beyond an easy meet for dinner/drinks. I do enjoy her company.
Last night, I wish we would have stayed the course. This morning would have been productive instead of couch surfing and watching an episode of Covert Affairs on hulu.com. Red wine dominated and the conversation continued to flow.
We met at Il Posto and enjoyed the cheese course, pasta with arugula and corn, followed by the scallops. The cheese was nice. A welcoming introduction to the meal.
The pasta was a little bland. The corn intrigued me and that is why we chose that particular pasta. They always have a gnocchi and a meat pasta. Typically, the food is consistent.
We concluded our coursed meal with the scallop and it definitely made up for the blandness of the pasta.
I was home around 9--early--but it wasn't an easy night. We should have met for happy hour and ended it at that point. Like I said, this morning would have been more productive minus a few glasses of wine.
Oh well, life is short and I like to enjoy it.
Plus, there is always this afternoon to be productive. Work is calling and so I must conclude this. Enjoy your day!
