R's Happy Day Post: August 6
August 6th was the evening of Gravy Train's surprise party - small and intimate, we started with a private tasting at Press Club, then headed to Mexico DF for dinner, and concluded the night at their loft.
The best part of my day was seeing how truly surprised Gravy Train was. I've never been involved in a surprise that worked out that well!

R's Happy Things: August 5
I have a Friday night routine that I love which incorporates food, wine and pajamas. The last few weeks have been crazy and therefore, I have not been able to have my routine. Well kids, this was finally the Friday night that I did.
My happy moment was sitting on the couch with G$ and N, with egg drop soup, a bottle of Cinnabar Malbec and a bottle of Downhill Barbera, and Food Network.

August 4th is Ms. Gravy Train's Birthday - so a belated happy birthday shout out to her!
I was so happy on Thursday to have a social event with some of my favorite co-workers. It was fun to pre-game before the Giant's game and have a good time outside of the office.
Even better - I was able to crash at N's house and not have to worry about getting home. I did have an incident where I thought she forgot about me, but we won't bring that up here :)

OOOPS - I've fallen behind for a bit. I'll make it up today.
My happy moment on Wednesday (August 3) was coming in second place while playing Mexican Train Dominos with the in-laws and my husband. My husband's cousin came in first place, and we took our revenge on my husband who was in last place :)

R's Product Review: Neutrogena® Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover
So, I've spent a good amount of time and dinero trying to find the perfect sensitive facewash that will also remove all my makeup. Whenever I do find one, its expensive and then I feel bad for spending so much money on facewash. After all, that's what it is - its facewash. And eventually, all products have failed me. I'll wash my face, and then find all this makeup when I apply toner.
SO - that's why I've used this product for almost a month and still have positive words and find that it does work. Are you ready for it? It's Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing and Makeup Remover. Its $6 at Target, works well and smells nice. It's a must have!

R's Happy Day Post: August 2
We all have qualities that we know we have, but sometimes we forget and it takes a kind word from a coworker/friend/stranger to make you remember.
But, yesterday's happy day moment was sitting outside at B Street and Vine with Gravy Train, N, and G$. It was a great way to end the day - with multiple bottles of wine, a bruschetta sampler, a grilled cheese, and an antipasto plate.
YUM.

R's Happy Day Post: August 1
YAY for August! Well - first, let's freak out on how its August already. Seriously, where did the time go (especially the summer since its been short lived here in the Bay Area).
But my happy moment yesterday, was getting a note from Delta confirming that they took 12,500 miles from my account (50% off promotion they are running) and confirming my business class seat on the way back from Barcelona. YIPPPEEEE!!
I'm getting so excited that I can barely contain myself.

R's Happy Day Post: July 31
Sunday was a great day. It was beautiful weather with the right amount of "warmth" without it being disgusting hot. G$ and I met up with an old coworker and his wife and went wine tasting thru some of our favorite vineyards 5 miles away from our house.
My happy moment of yesterday was sitting outside at Mountain Winery admiring the view (it was clear enough to see Stanford, HP Pavillion, etc) and having a chilled glass of Chardonnay (a non-buttery one, mind you).

R's Happy Day Post - July 30
I spent the day on Saturday doing something I've wanted to do for a long time - a FULL tourist day in SF. Typically, the days in SF are spent doing "normal" things - shopping, spa, dinner, drinks, etc.
My happy moment on Saturday was having sorbet for breakfast. I had a lime mint sorbet on Saturday morning - it was SO refreshing.

Fridays are reason enough for it to be a happy day :) This past Friday my happy moment was around getting an email from a client (my favorite one) complimenting me on my work, work ethic and energy.
It's funny how what I consider to be my "job," clients see it as my going "above and beyond."
