Lots of stuff going on lately.  Jack is potty training, David got a new job (he starts tomorrow!), we bought a new car (Honda Civic).  I've been busy writing all over the place and work is busy, too.  I'm going to BlogHer in August in New York and excited.  Another busy year ( Read more... )

I'm a planner, always have been.  I plan everything, even conversations (and then I compare the results with the plans because it's interesting to me ( Read more... )

I'm so fucking stressed today!!!!  Guh, I need an outlet for this crap.  Anyone have any suggestions ( Read more... )

It feels like summer is already underway. Not only do we have awesome weather, but we have a million plans in the works. A cocktail/engagement party to attend this weekend, a trip to Colfax next weekend, a vampire ball to go to in May, a trip to Oregon in May, a Pink Martini concert in June, possibly a trip to Monterey and maybe even a trip to ( Read more... )

I had SUCH a good weekend. Friday was totally low key. We watched Star Wars: Episode VI because I haven't seen the original movies. I was totally entertained, of course. Jack liked the space ships and "aliens." I learned that I can indeed stand a movie with Harrison Ford in it as long as he is super young. I still don't think he (or anyone ( Read more... )

Life is good and I am finding it so weird, even though I totally love it. I'm enjoying things that I never thought I'd enjoy - sitting out in the backyard soaking up the sun and walking to the beach! I've never been an outside girl...when did this change? I've even been cooking dinner (I made chicken with a reduction sauce and it turned out ( Read more... )

I love that David and I cook dinner together. Most nights we have a real dinner and we sit down at the table to eat it. Last night we had lamb, roasted cauliflower, and butternut squash w/browned butter and thyme. It was soooo good ( Read more... )

My weekend was pretty fabulous! Friday night David, Jack and I walked to the store together. I love walking in our neighborhood. Jack was hilarious, too. He loves to run down the sidewalk. On the way back he and David played airplane (and David kept pretending to crash him into trees and bushes, which made Jack crack up). When we got home ( Read more... )

Man, I've been terrible about updating. My brain has been fuzzy and I can barely remember what I did yesterday, let alone provide a real description of what is going on in my life. What is happening is that all the stressful situations of the last year are just now hitting me (fatigue, body aches, random tension and emotional wackiness). I was ( Read more... )

Sounds like my friend Becky is doing better.  She was put on bed rest two days ago (after her fever spiked) and she told me today that the bleeding has slowed.  She's had an ultrasound and the little kiddo is still going strong.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her ( Read more... )
