self indulgent? yes. necessary? of course.
cute little baby shower, right? really wish i could have been there.....
oh wait, i was. i totally spoiled myself and flew down to san francisco at the last minute to be at jocelyn's baby shower. i just couldnt imagine having to settle for pictures of the event. and it didnt dissapoint.
jocelyn was the cutest guest of honor. not to mention one sexy pregnant lady. jocelyn got so many adorable gifts from her amazing san francisco girlfriends. baby smith is going to be one pampered little girl. this was jocelyn's face as she opened my gift to her......
a baby girl quilt. i started to make this quilt a little over a week ago (with the help from my mom) and was binding it right up until i had to leave for the airport. it was fun to make but even more fun to see jocelyn's reaction when she opened it. 
pictures of the quilt.
the girls at the baby shower. they were all so sweet and did a fantastic job on the decorations and the food. it kinda made me wish that we would have gone to UoP so that they all could by my friends too.
the second we got home from the shower, i made jocelyn show brady the quilt. especially the label on the back that read: "look tagg smith up in about twenty years"
the next day, jocelyn had to go into work early. so i slept in and caught a bus into the city all by my lonesome. i was a nervous nelly about the bus situation not going smoothly so i laid out my bus money like an hour early.
by noon, jocelyn was off work and we walked/shopped around union square. i felt badly about making a pregnant lady tour the city with me all day (after a late nite out at the shower and an early morning at work) but not badly enough to let her go home!
we did rest our feet for a little while in the center of union square. until we had had enough of the mannerless bum.
jocelyn took to me one of the best restaurants i have ever been to. it was incredible. we pretty much ordered up the entire menu. but it was worth the hefty bill, i am still thinking about the chicken mac&cheese dish.
even though we were stuffed up to our eyeballs with food from dinner, i had to make caramel crack for brady and jocelyn. i even brought some of the ingredients from home because i wanted it to turn out just perfectly.....
yeah, but it didnt! the entire batch burned. i was so depressed. there is NOTHING like a failed recipe. especially when you are trying to impress.
the next morning, we enjoyed breakfast at one of my favorite places in san francisco, la boulange. it is so yummy. i wish they had it here in seattle.
look at the shirt i found! i didnt buy it because it was missing a "g". still cute though. whats up with my crazy eyes?
i LOVE street fairs. the crafts, the food......
and the people. the little lady in the background was modeling the "clothing" sold at her shop. san francisco has some of the craziest people i have ever seen.
this is on the balcony of jocelyn's place. quite the view. we were so lucky that the weather cooperated the entire weekend.
i was so excited to eat at taylors. my favorite part was the egg bun and the girl who almost lost her life because she made the pigeons fly towards jocelyn.
the smiths are some of my favorite people in the world. they are such a riot and i can totally be myself when i am around them. i really wish we lived closer together.....
THE picture. i will miss our traditional pictures behind the ferry building. 
"no, dont turn around, this is a candid!" kinda takes the "candid" out of it.
i was so glad to spend a couple days with jocelyn before they leave san francisco. and to be able to see her cute little pregnant belly. she is such an amazing friend and i love her so much.
