new home

UPDATE:

Ok party peeps! Merry Robin has a new home at www.merry-robin.com. 

Ciao tumblr, you’ve been good to us :) 

weekend recap

Lots of memorable events this weekend! I want to do a proper post, but Merry Robin is undergoing some construction so will just update with this photo. The first meal my baby brother has ever treated me too (with his hard earned money from a lumberyard!). It was the most delicious bowl of bun bo hue I’ve ever had. 

And now…it’s Monday : l 

thankful

Last Sunday, the hubbers and I were reminded that when we complain - we’re basically saying what we already have isn’t enough. Though this wasn’t the grandest of weeks, taking a look through my iphone I couldn’t count the number of blessings in my life because there’s just a ridiculous amount. 

Starting from the top left and zig-zagging my way down, I am thankful for:

• Parents who live an exit away and still cook dinner for this grown ass woman 
• Having much, and giving back to charities like Operation Christmas Child
• A hubbers who works tirelessly to make me happy 
• A sister to laugh and drink bottomless mimosas with 
• Quality time with the best besties around 
• Generous friends who cook 20lbs 30lbs of meat for their friends without asking for much
• Hilarious friends who order off the menu liquor at Chinese restaurants  
• My b’s who are having little b’s (and all my b’s from coast to coast!)
• An older brother who has my back, and a younger brother who is the thorn in my side (I jay kay)

What can I say? I’m blessed. Have a great weekend folks! 

oh fudgesicle

It’s just one of those weeks friends…just one of those weeks. I was digging around my old pencilbox and found the most appropriate eraser to describe my current state. On the flip side, I’ve been playing around with my new favorite photo editing app on the iphone VSCO CAM (what I used for the pictures below). What is also freakin’ cool is that the co-founder was my bestie’s wedding photographer Joel Flory. I love a good story like that :) 

Happy hump day! 

weekend recap

This weekend was all about keepin’ it simple. Minimal plans, but loads of fun :)

Is there anything better in life than soup dumplings at Shanghai Dumpling Shop? 

 

Is there anything better in life than a chicken sammie at Mr. Pickles with garlic spread? 

Went on a lil hikey hike with the hubbers in good ‘ol San Bruno. Not too shabby. 

In addition to keepin’ it simple this weekend, there was also a keepin’ it classy theme going on as well. At one point I drank beer out of a straw for faster consumption. #dontjudgeme 

And now…it’s Monday : l 

obsessed

Ok, so I wasn’t going to update, but after seeing this pumpkin on my Susiecake’s Facebook page…how could I not? Siccccccckkkkk. 

The hubs and I finally joined the 21st century and caught up with Breaking Bad. We started watching the show about 3.5 weeks ago, and finished Seasons 1-4 last week. We were glued to our couch, and I felt like a drug addict. If he didn’t press play for the next episode fast enough, I would yell and get crazy. It wasn’t pretty. 

Another show I’m obsessed with is Parenthood. If you take a look at my DVR, it’s basically all sitcoms because when I come home I just want to laugh. Is that too much to ask? Well, Parenthood threw me for a loop because yes, it’s a drama, but oh how it pulls at my heartstrings and makes me want more. I’m obsessed with Jabar, and realize this is one of the most underrated shows on TV. 

And with that I bid you adieu. Have a great weekend folks! 

huddler halloween

UPDATE: I can die a happy woman now. Have a great weekend folks! 

Because…today is just a momentous occasion, and this post deserves it’s own post!

Today was one of the best Halloween’s I’ve ever had. It was Sharon’s ingenius idea to dress up as the cast of Parks and Rec, and I don’t mean to brag but I think we pretty much nailed it? 

Oh Charlie boy, you were my perfect Andy. 

world champs!

It’s been a hectic morning friends! 2012 WORLD SERIES CHAMPS BABY! 

It was raining black and orange. 

Hi Lou Seal!

Hi Panda!

This year’s parade view from my office made up for missing it in 2010. Congrats CHAMPS! Happy Hump Day! Happy Halloween! 

weekend recap

Here are the few photos I took to capture this weekend :)

Saturday sampled Petey’s Porchetta and in my opinion it gave Roli Roti a run for their money. Oh mah gah, SO GOOD! 

Baby lion sighting. I may hate chick flicks, but I love baby halloween costumes (just trying to point out the few things that warm up this cold heart of mine…and NO Esther Chang this does not mean you can email me fuzzy animal pictures. NO!)

Happy thirty-something Joel!

Grabbed lunch with BOC and realized we were wearing matching vintage Coach purses. Great minds think alike. Durr. 

Last but certainly not least, the GIGANTES! WORLD CHAMPS!! I was so sad I missed the celebration in 2010, but I’ll surely make up for it this Wednesday during the parade. #unreal 

And now…it’s Monday : l

Where we live there are a ton of spiders. Daily we find these huge ass webs on each side of our side view mirrors (hehe Edmund’s worst nightmare!) 

DAT SH*T CRAY!

When I saw this at Trader Joe’s the other day, it reminded me of the first time I saw pineapple plants in Hawaii. I thought they grew on palm trees! Just me? 

DAT SH*T CRAY! 

When boys are in charge of buying snacks for the office. Pickled sausage? What in the world? Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ewwwww.

DAT SH*T CRAY! 

Last but certainly not least, Panda-monium! 

DAT SH*T CRAY! 

Have a great weekend folks!
