Living in the Bay Area is something special. I have said it a lot: Here and Here and Here. But where can you enjoy the whirring liveliness of the city and then drive less than an hour and be surrounded by the serene beauty of nature. With some out-of-towners in toe, we spent the day …

Staycation
It would be lovely to dip my toes in the warm lapping waters of the Caribbean right now, but unfortunately I do not have the money or the time to escape on that kind of weekend adventure. I can, however, explore the Bay Area and all it has to offer with the wonder and awe of …
Things that make me smile
Trying to pull out of a parking spot with a "not-so-cute" red car pinned behind me does NOT make me smile. But being physically able to walk all over the city for 3 hours certainly makes me smile 🙂 Trying to reconnect my DVD player with possibly the wrong wires, leaves me with a frown. …

Last night we visited Japan Town for a delightful seafood meal with friends. Here is what happens when you sit here long enough... (and that's just the …
I am thankful
that the world did not end today. 2012 might have been a very tough year, but I am determined to have a brighter 2013, so thank goodness when I woke up I found the Earth still intact. In addition to my life altering running accident, I was forced to change jobs due to an office …
WIAW – In the cold
Let's just say that the boiler at work is broken, so that means everyone wandering around the office looks like they are about to ski off a mountain in their winter gear. I have not taken my coat off this entire week of work - I think I might just wear pajamas underneath one day! …
