It’s been a few months since my last post. I could say its because I’ve been super busy (which I have) and just haven’t had the time (which I really haven’t. But the truth is, I just haven’t been feelin’ it. And the next thing you know it’s mid-April and I’m another year older. Holy [...]

Non-Laboring Day
Posted in life on September 5, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Saturday is my one day off a week. I have an adjusted work schedule so I can be home more with the kids in the afternoons. But that means I work 6 days a week. Because we’re a retail store, we don’t close for a lot of holidays. I mean, holidays are when “regular” people [...]
What would Elmer Fudd say?

Today was one of my blessed days off. Last Saturday I took the kids bowling, and to see the latest Spy Kids movie. The previous Saturdays were filled with birthday parties, a baby shower, and work obligations. I decided today required some much needed homebound vegging. I slept in, watch Food Network all morning, and [...]
They Bowled Me Over
Posted in life on August 27, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Today was the first Saturday all summer that I haven’t had other commitments or work (at least, that I can remember.) Obviously, the kids and I needed to go do some bondin’. I thought about taking them into the City, maybe the SF Zoo. But for those unfamiliar, late summer is heavy “marine layer” weather [...]

I’m reading Jillian Michael’s new book “Unlimited: How to Build an Exceptional Life“, cause you know, who doesn’t want to do that, right? At the end of the first chapter, there’s a quiz. The questions are supposed to help you figure out how to get the most out of your life. And the very first [...]
Getting back on track

I spent some time reading over my old Marathon Mom blog this evening. I miss my healthy, active lifestyle. I’ve been taking steps to get back there. I’m eating more fruits and veggies again, I’ve cut Coke Zero out of my life (again) and am drinking lots of water. I’m veeeerrrryyyyy slloowwwly getting back to [...]
Gilroy Garlic Festival 2011
Posted in life on July 30, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Growing up in South San Jose, the smell I associate most with summer isn’t sunscreen. It’s garlic! Gilroy “the Garlic Capitol of the World” is just 20 miles down the road. The Gilroy Garlic Festival has been held the last weekend in July since 1979. I can’t remember if I went there growing up, but [...]
Slumber Party

I’ve been working on getting Sean and Skye to sleep in their own room (they share one.) This is a war I’ve waged for… well, ever. When they were smaller, I liked having them close for my own comfort. Nothing lulled me into a peaceful sleep like the rhythm of their baby snores. Then there [...]
We Are All Neighbors
Posted in disaster relief, life on May 24, 2011 | 1 Comment »
The devastation caused by the tornadoes is like nothing I’ve ever seen. What the people there must be going through is just unimaginable. It must have felt like the end of the world. Living in earthquake country, this out-of-nowhere-with-no-warning kind of disaster scares the bejeezus out of me. My heart goes out to everyone dealing [...]
