Let's just say it was an early early Sunday morning and sleep was not on the menu. The 4am wake up call left me plenty of time to drive Dave and our friend Jacob to the starting line of the Aids Life Cycle ride, where over 2,500+ road bikers ride from San Francisco to LA …

Wine Country Day Trip
With this map as our guide and our taste buds as our motivation we explored Napa for the day. Dave navigated in and out of fields of grapes to get us to various wineries and we enjoyed every sip, swish and swirl. With this gourmet playground only an hour drive from our apartment we are …
Hosting
Saturday was a day of cleaning. My boyfriend's birthday was earlier this week and we decided to celebrate with our friends last night, which meant good times AFTER we did a good sweep of the apartment. (It's always good to have people over - it keeps your apartment in check hehe). Of course before we …
A Sprinkling of Treats

(Treat 1) I normally ride the bus by myself, but Thursday morning our guest took the bus downtown with me. It was nice to have …

Kinda like a day back in college
Saturday definitely reminded me of a day back in college: some exercise, a lecture, free goodies and a night out. After another successful workout on the elliptical I showered and hopped in the car with Dave to head to an alumni event. This time it was a small lecture from a famed Brandeis professor and …
Flowers on a Friday
The weather has been beautiful this past week, and before the rain came today, it truly felt like Spring. And what comes out during Spring? Flowers! When I walked into work after a 6:30am pilates class I was met with these beautiful hydrangeas left on my desk by my coworker. This burst of color by …
