The Dinkiest Saturday Of All Time
Jeff and I are DINKs, duel income no kids...and we proved it this weekend. We went to to the San Francisco Symphony to see and hear the marvel Studios Infinity Saga. It was 23 clips from Marvel movies with this amazing symphony playing along, It was so wonderful I cried. Then we strolled over to Morton's for martinis and steaks. #DinkLife

Things Your Party Guests Are Judging You On

• Relying on store-bought desserts 
  
• Not communicating key details - Make sure guests feel prepared and comfortable. 
  
• Waiting for guests to ask for refills - They may not want to “bother” the host, so they’ll wait with an empty wine or water glass, and that can be frustrating. 
  
• Avoiding the topic of dietary restrictions - Ask your guests about dietary restrictions so your menu includes options everyone can enjoy.
• Overserving light bites - Appetizers should help tide guests over, but they’re not a replacement for the main course.
  
• Turning dinner into a cooking show - Don’t wait until your guests arrive to start cooking. Get as much done ahead of time .
  
• Requesting shoes off without offering alternatives - It’s fine to ask guests to take their shoes off, but don’t leave them barefoot, which can make them feel awkward. Follow Martha Stewart’s lead and have a basket of washable slippers or cozy socks .
  
• Forgetting the farewell - People don’t always know when it’s time to go, so you can announce a “last call” or try Martha’s method. To kick guests out, she explains, “I just say, ‘I’m going to bed, I’ll see you.’”

Second Date Update
Vanessa contacted us about Omar. They matched on Tinder and met for happy hour in Lafayette. Vanessa said they shared small plates, talked about music, and ended up staying longer than expected because the conversation was good. She told us Omar even walked her to her car and gave her a hug, so she thought a second date was basically guaranteed. But Omar never replied to her messages.
