Starting the year off right
I hope everyone enjoyed their New Year's festivities! I celebrated with a night of drinks and dancing 🙂 It was a perfect way to spend the evening, moving on the dance floor with both my good hip and my no-longer-broken one. The first day of 2013 was spent resting my tired legs, enjoying the fresh …

I smell tree
It's not every day that you walk around the office thinking, "hrmm it smells like the top of a mountain in here." That time of year has arrived, and while snow flurries and freezing temperatures are no where to be seen in the Bay Area, the holiday spirit is all around. My office is now …
WIAW – What I Wished I Had Eaten
