Here is my quote for the day:

Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to tell you that the practice of afternoon tea should be resurrected as the cure to all that ails the mind, body and soul. If it is possible to be in love with a place, the <a href="http://crownandcrumpet.com/"><b>Crown & Crumpet Tea Salon</b></a> is my forevermore heart-throb. Perched on the second level of Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, this tea shoppe (it MUST be spelled with the "e") is a girlish fantasy of whimsy and femininity that cannot be missed. The tea selection is stunning, the scones are evil, and the tea sandwiches fill you up in a surprising manner that is delightfully unexpected. I thoroughly enjoyed my day out with the girls wearing tiaras I found at Target, and am sitting here as I type with a satisfied smile on my face. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite, and though the calories and fat and carbs are tipping the scales on the side of overly decadent, I timed it so I could enjoy myself. Huzzah! Long live the Queen.

And there's Kara's Cupcakes right next door. The caramel filled Fleur de Sel cupcake was DELICIOUS.

Needed to get something in me earlier than I did today. Felt like I was rushing all morning as a result of going to bed so late...AGAIN. Need to change this habit, am hoping this will change in hawaii. Walked up & down stairs this afternoon as we shopped. The 1 lb weight loss/fluctuation from yesterday seems flukey, and I expect I'll see a gain tomorrow morn.
