Yesterday was the Brenda Donato Rainbow 5k Run/Walk to honor our dear friend. Brian, Lindsay and another TNT Manager, Leslie, have been working so so hard for the past few months on this race and yesterday it all came together. They had 214 people registered and 177 offical finishers. It turned out to be a beutiful day and the perfect way to remember and honor Brenda. It was like a small family reunion. We saw people that we haven't seen in years who'd come out to do the walk/run. I volunteered for the event so I did not walk but Rocky's band played and my mother-in-law ended up walking with our friend M and our niece and newphew in tow in the stroller. They had a great time as well.

Other weekend happenings.
Originally I had no plans on Friday but after chatting with Brandy a bit throughout the day we decided it'd be fun to meet for happy hour after work. Then right before I was leaving work she emailed me to say that her BF had gotten 4 tickets to the Giant's game. She invited Rocky and I to go so we ended up making an evening out of it. I took BART out to SF and met Brandy at Embarcadero Center at Sen's Restaurant . The boys had to work later so they were just going to meet us for the game. It was such a gorgeous day in the city that no sweaters were needed and we sat outside on the rooftop patio of Sens. Service was horrible because they had not expected the mad rush of people that this awesome weather would bring out, it was 83 in SF at 5:30pm, you know it's hot if it's that hot in San Francisco. Anyway, Brandy and I had a few drinks and appetizers and her BF showed up a little later and had a cocktail with. Because the server was actuallly the manager and he could not provide us good service because he was running around like a chicken with his head cut off, when Brandy went to pay he said NO WORRIES and comped the whole evening...YAY US! Rocky arrived right in time to head to the game.
Had a great time on the game and we all feasted on some baseball park food. Brandy and I shared some yummy cheesy nachos and the boys on some sandwiches. I'm not sure how much of the game we Brandy and I actually watched but Brandy was cracking me up. If we scored a run Brandy we say "ooh we got a point" and if we didn't "oh, no point". She is hilarious. Anyway, we left right before the end which I think was about 10 ish and it was still super warm out.
We had such a great time with Brandy and Sam. THANK YOU for a wonderful evening and thanks to Sam for the Giants tickets :o)
Saturday we had plans to go back to SF, this time with Ms. Olivia and have a nice lunch at the Ferry Building. It was once again in the 80's out there and we thought it'd be nice to enjoy the weather.
At 9am I recieved a text message from Brandy which said, I WANT MORE NACHOS!! haa, haa! See I told you she's funny!
Anyway, Rocky had a bunch of errands to run in the am and I had a bunch of cleaning to do around the house and Olivia had a run so we didn't leave for SF til about 1pm or so. By this time it was scortching out there. We had a very nice lunch at the Ferry Plaza Seafood Restaurant. We sat outside which wasn't bad at all since it's right by the water and the seating area is shaded. All of our meals had crab in them and they were all so fresh and super yummy. Afterwards we decided to walk around. That didn't last long though :o( we made quck pit stop at Pier 23 and used their restroom and I had a soda. We were super hot and super dehydrated. None of us were to happy. We stopped to get some water at a small store and then headed back to the car. Rocky had a few stops to make to pick up things he needed for Sunday and I didn't feel like going to all the guitar places so he dropped Olivia and I off at Union Square. We only walked around a little bit though before we decided to just plop down somewhere and relax and wait for Rocky. We got a few drinks and sat at the Cafe right in Union Square. We people watched for a little bit and then Rocky came back to get us. We were all whiped out so we headed home. The rest of the evening Rocky and I spent a bit miserable. I think we were both super dehydrated. I loved the warm weather over the weekend but holy smokes we went from 60 degrees coldness to 85 degress hotness. YIKES! It was nice though to bust out the summer clothes and feel the warm sunshine. It was a great weekend.
Tonight, swimming :o( and of course it's not warm anymore :o(
