Happy New Year!!! I can hardly believe that 2010 is gone and I suspect most of you feel the same. I swear it’s something about the 2000s….everything just keeps getting faster and faster! Last year around this time, I set a few goals for myself in 2010. Walk to work as much as possible. Take [...]

Oh, the things we do to look good.

I’m in pain. I’m in serious pain, my butt muscles are on fire, and when the instructor says, “Only 10 more of these!” I think I am going to die. I’m in the middle of my 4th class at Pilates ProWorks, and all of a sudden, I’m really regretting signing up for a 4-month contract [...]

She works hard for the money

Okay, confessions time. I’m bad at saving money. Really, really bad. Wait, let me amend that. I’m not so bad that I’m in severe debt or anything like that. I pay off my credit card bill each month. I even have an IRA and a 401k. I’m just terrible at putting money aside for that rainy [...]

But I’m cutting myself some slack. I bet [...]

Postcard from…

Cabo San Lucas. I’m not there anymore, but uploading the beachy images I snapped there two weekends ago made me wish I were. There’s a lot to be said for weekend getaways, my friends.

Alexander Valley, Sonoma County

Ten points to whoever can guess the winery. If the colors in these pictures vary a little, it’s because I made my first attempt at post-production edits! After looking through the pictures, the colors seemed a bit saturated, so I toned everything down and aimed for something that sort of hinted at vintage. Low saturation, [...]

My other Valentine

Oo-ee. This was quite a grand weekend. First off, it was a LONG weekend. Long weekends are never a bad thing. And new furniture arrived. And there was dim sum. And braised lamb shanks. And an awesome new book that a co-worker recommended. And, there was a very lengthy ten mile walk on Valentine’s Day. [...]

“San Francisco is still a city that likes to have a good time, and will proceed to have it, as soon as it finds a place to park.” – Herb Caen, “Herb Caen’s San Francisco,” 1957
