Sometime's Sundays are spent on the couch. Yesterday was a day of recovery from our party Saturday night and I only stepped outside for food. The morning outing was to the farmer's market for samples, fresh veggies and eye candy: Yummy dinner creations are on their way... I also put the dehydrator to work to …
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 …
Thai Night
Do you find yourself with stacks of magazines and you never remember signing up for any them? Yesterday, I went through a whole bunch of magazines that I have accumulated through free trails from race registrations and pulled out the workouts and recipes before I recycled them. Now I have the essentials and I don't …
A Sprinkling of Treats
Most days are fairly routine: make meals, work, gym. And while Thursday involved all three of these activities, there was definitely a sprinkling of treats to mix up the day. (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 …
Friends, Fish and Funnies
You can't go wrong when you end your day with an old friend, sushi and laughs. Last night after another relaxing and torturous pilates class (yes those two adjectives are exactly how I would describe pilates classes), Dave and I met up with a college friend who was in town for the night. These are …
WIAW Birthday Edition
Happy Birthday! No not to me .... but to my wonderful boyfriend Dave! Yesterday he turned the big 25 and we celebrated in style. First I had to make it through the workday... 50 minutes on the elliptical, showered, made lunch and breakfast, out the door before 7:30 am - I was on a roll …
Patience
Patient, as defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary: - steadfast despite opposition, difficulty, or adversity - not hasty or impetuous Being patient is the name of the game these days. Like yesterday morning when I was making breakfast and lunch at the same time before work and I had to relax and be patient with myself as I made …
Sleeeeepy Sunday
Sundays are usually a day of resting, grocery shopping, gyming and walking. And all of these things were accomplished yesterday. My body was exhausted from my pilates class on Saturday and all of the exploring we did, but I knew I still wanted to get to the gym, so I fueled myself with some breakfast. …
pastries + beach + cows = Best Day Ever
Dave and I always love exploring the areas outside of San Francisco when we have the chance, so we took a day trip to Point Reyes, for some food, fun and adventure. Our initial stop involved a bakery that has incredible pastries - baked goods that are truly worth breaking Passover a few hours early …
The sweet sight of a treadmill
There are treadmill people and there are non-treadmill people. I never minded the treadmill, but only for my early morning workouts when I needed the distraction of the television and the safety of the brightly lit gym in the early hours of the day. Friday I was so excited to finally join the fellow treadmillers …
