Sometimes I get a bit frustrated. I FINALLY got around to writing the commentary to go with these pictures and wordpress said “nope, sorry! not logged in” and when I went back Presto! Everything was gone. Well, I can’t be witty TWICE! So now this is going to suck. Awesome. You’ve been warned! A couple [...]

On Friday, I picked Sean and Skye up from school early and met my parents and grandparents at the Larkspur ferry building. We were all going to take the ferry into San Francisco to watch the Blue Angels praciticing for Fleet Week. One of our exotic locales, San Quentin maximum security prison. Sean and Skye [...]
Visiting Our Friends "Down South"
Posted in friends, vacation on September 10, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Last Saturday, I packed up my three youngest (how many people get to say that!) and headed South… no, not that far south. Just down below SF, to my hometown of San Jose… well, almost to San Jose. San Jose adjacent, to be more specific. We were going to visit my childhood bestest friend forever [...]
Around the world and back in five days

“I just flew in from Hong Kong, and boy are my arms tired!” Ba-dum-dum! I spent almost as much time on the plane as I did there, 14 hours going and 12 coming back. I was only in Hong Kong for 3 days, well, 3 and a half. But that half day is spent packing, [...]

We got home today. I could have used a few more days of R-n-R but I guess it’s good I don’t get used to it. I’ve got a ton of work waiting for me tomorrow morning. UGH. I don’t even want to think about it. I am feeling SO much better after my vacation. Totally [...]

This vacation has been so good for our family. We’ve had a chance to really relax and reconnect. I taught the kids how to play Pictionary, we’ve had ping-pong tournaments, gone for walks in the woods and skipped stones in the lake. I’ve gotten to sleep in, take naps and go to bed at a [...]

Travel-blog first installment
Posted in Lake Tahoe, RV, cabin, nature, ping-pong, vacation on June 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
For the next 5 days I’ll be blogcasting live from a cabin in North Lake Tahoe. A cabin with WiFi – totally awesome. I love getting back to nature, as long as that nature has access to high speed internet. Right now the kids are playing ping-pong upstairs. I’m sitting in bed, blogging and watching [...]
Oh Summer!
Posted in Lake Tahoe, reading, summer, swimming, vacation on June 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Today was officially the first day of summer, according to the school calendar. It was a hot, lazy, typical northern California summer day. Perfect if you’re a kid. Totally sucky if you’re a wage-earning adult. Since I fall into the second category, I didn’t enjoy today nearly as much as my first-category kids did. Yesterday [...]

It’s been a week since my last update. Wow, how time flies when you’re on vacation and then DYING!! Ok, not really dying. But it was a blecky cold and I felt like crap, so that totally counts. The SoCal vaca was totally awesome! Tuesday night, we got to see my uber-adorable neice Laney dance [...]
