When you come from a hospital stay after surgery you tend to forget about the pile of clean clothes you need to put away and the mountain of magazines that are piling up on your coffee table. You tend to focus on the patient's healing and leave general cleanliness for your imaginary housekeeper. Well yesterday, …

Fitting In
They Fit! My stretchy jeans that is. Fixing my broken hip came with a foot long incision on my left bum-cheek, a metal plate to hold my bones together and a very very very swollen left hip. Yesterday was the first day that I could squeeze into my pants without discomfort. It was nice for …
Working Girl
I may be stuck at home, chained to my couch and slave to my aches and pains, but that does not mean that I am not working hard on my recovery or on my career. I have an arrangement with my boss to work on some projects from home that don't necessarily need to be …
First Outing
Yesterday was a BIG day. I fueled properly with some eggs, facon and chives...mmmm. After breakfast, I finally reached the bottom of the stairs to my apartment complex and instead of hopping right back up to my apartment I made a left and headed to the car. The last time I was in the car …

The BEST wine ever!
My leftovers from Thursday night's dinner did not do the job to get me through an extra long day at work. When I walked through the door around 7pm I was greeted with a large glass of this incredible white wine we purchased on one of our adventures in Napa. I don't know if it …
Taking the Plunge
We all do it... Stray from the comfort of the known, the well-liked, the satisfying and try something new... a new restaurant that is. Last night we braved crossing the threshold of a new local eatery and were sorely disappointed. We took some friends and were lured by the promise of yummy mexican, space to …
Round and Round
Bicycles, Reduce Reuse Recycle, Life Cycles, well...you get the idea - there are lots of cycles in life, including food cycles. (Yes, this is probably something I just made up, but it makes sense to me: people cycle through different foods, eating too much food, eating too little, eating more of one type of food …
