I'm home safe in Salt Lake now, and I don't really want to update Livejournal because there are so many pictures and it's such a daunting task, but if I don't tackle it now I never will. And also I miss my friends. So, to the Asian Art Museum ( Read more... )

So I think the last I wrote was Tuesday morning, and we were planning to head to the Asian Art Museum and the Japanese Tea Gardens. Well, we ended up not going--after the excitement of the Muir Woods and Catching Fire on Monday people were feeling kind of tired, so we ended up just lazing about in the morning, and then heading out for sushi.

We got a late start yesterday, which meant a kind of lovely leisurely morning (for everyone except Zach, who had to go to the doctor). We headed out by 11 or so though for San Francisco, which is some sort of choke point on this peninsula; you have to go through the city to get anywhere on the other side, and oddly there are no main thoroughfares ( Read more... )

Occasionally in the last few months I've made up opening lines for the journal entries I never actually wrote. I thought about how I should probably record this particular event--like my sister's WEDDING, good grief--for my distant family, or at least for myself three months down the road when I'd forgotten most of everything.

I'm working from home today because I am sick, sick, sick. Went home ill from work yesterday, actually, because by noon my head was stuffed so full of snot that I couldn't even think straight. I spent the afternoon curled up in bed like a dying slug, alternately sleeping and watching School 2013 and 21 Jump Street (the 80s version. Hulu has an ( Read more... )

And because I never actually wrote about Rosalind's wedding when it happened, here is proof that it did, and that I was there, and that Rosalind was (is!) both sweet and gorgeous. And that my mom and I have the exact same smile. Rachael couldn't be there, unfortunately, because her family was sick sick sick. We missed her!

Yesterday after church I went down to Ruth and Jordan's for our semi-monthly family dinner. I had offered to host, but since Jordan was only home from the weekend (flew in Friday, leaving Monday) Ruth asked if we could have dinner at their house instead. So I brought most of the ingredients down, and Elise and Paxton and I made dinner while Ruth ( Read more... )

I can type again! And since froggee501 begged for pictures, I shall oblige...I must mention that my camera phone takes pretty poor pictures, and our apartment has worse lighting. It looks much better on the table than on your monitor!

We made Easter dinner together, in our apartment. phoenix_melody made her famous rolls, and tiarna_bronach made corn and mixed vegetables, and Chi made ( Read more... )

So I finally figured out after, what, three years? how to get photos off my camera phone. I'm astonished--they're actually pretty good quality! froggee501 asked for food porn; in the future, and with some practice, I may be able to oblige!
