Ziggy Wong-Gun Kim Teare. Born March 19th at 9:07pm at 7 lbs. 12 oz. He came 2.5 weeks early. I didn't even realize I was in labor when i went in for my routine doctor's visit. She was like "you need to go to the hospital now". All the ladies in the waiting room cheered. Mark and I crossed the street and checked in around 3pm and tah-dah! this guy just popped out 6 hours later.

Thank you everyone for such a fun baby shower! Extra special thanks to Michele and Amy for putting it all together. I had a great time!

Hole-in-the-Wall Review #2

Quickly
2201 Clement Street

I stopped by this cute, modern little place on the way back to the office from the doctor today and it was such a nice treat!! They have strange asian/american fast food style snacks and bento boxes. I ordered the Sesame Balls, not knowing what they were. It turned out to be little fried mochi cakes filled with sweetened crushed seasame seeds inside. Kind of expensive for what it was but warm and gooey (6 of these quarter sized balls and a milk were $7!). Worth trying for sure but be careful, i needed to change my outfit in the parking lot before returning to work because the seasame seed goo got all over my shirt, i'm not kidding, then again, you might not be as clumsy as I am :) heehee. http://www.quicklyusa.com/

Denny's Café
5530 Geary Blvd

This place is awesome! Even though you feel like you're sitting in a sweaty armpit, the food is yummy and cheap! You can get cafeteria style american food, weird french cuisine (like escargot) or chinese food. I usually get the minced beef cilantro congee (the best i've found in the city yet). Mark gets the sweet and sour chicken with rice which is HUGE and is served with minstrone soup and garlic bread, WTF?! I've also heard that their ox tail curry is really delicious.

Zipper man = Brave boy. My niece Sadie drew this. Thanks Sadie!

Shana made this grainbow-scarf. Thanks Shana!

Schmeegal.

Amy Sedaris Cupcakes. They were yummy. here's the recipe: http://www.amysedarisrocks.com/recipes.htm

Some deer. I'll show you more on a rainy day.

I love Markiepoo!

Bunnies need to chill out sometimes too.

this baby is BAD!

Two dolls I made.

I made this after I found out the real ones on Valencia street were $800. You should make this too, plastic rhinestones, gem glue and deer antlers.

Hana made this for me, Mark has a poop crisis every time we go in the city. Thanks Hana.

lady on nitrous!
