The Nickname Stuck
2007-11-14 16:11:00 The stop in Vegas on the way home from Austin where I meet the husband is a redo of this one, last year. These people are our San Diego friends, to whom I’m still “the Firecracker”. No one remembers why, but still thinks it’s hilarious. I’ll take it, I’ve been called worse (!) I love, love, love ...

The Whole Problem
2007-11-11 16:03:00 There’s a simple, simple answer - why I’m sucking so bad this year. And it’s not spending all my time at the beach, it’s been a little gray this week.

Logical Or Wasteful?
2007-11-10 17:30:00 I see how these could be true, but why waste the good stuff? 15 Uses For Vodka (source) 1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka.

Can?t Sit Still
2007-11-08 17:02:00 Apparently, over the last 11 months, I have lost the ability to be on the computer and not on the internet. Finding this makes me think I need to pull the connection.

That?s A Wrap
2007-11-06 17:49:00 That’s the trip! It was a blast. We’ve been here about a week now. I’ve enjoyed runs on the beach, settling in to our new place, exploring La Jolla, mansion ogling, spending Halloween downtown in San Diego (as a pirate) and making new friends. The view of crashing waves is remarkable calming and centering. The ... More About: Shopping , Life , Wrap
I Love La Jolla
2007-11-05 18:46:00 The fire situation didn’t really affect us. On the way in we drove near the fire near Castaic, staying away from the coast and LA due to the helpful traffic updates from my family, and only really noticed smoke and the smell of fire in the car near Escondido, but since it was night we ...

One Last Break
2007-11-04 12:06:00 We made it that day all the way from Oregon to San Francisco. It’s crazy, I know. I wasn’t driving. In fact, MK drove the whole way. What a good guy.

Ambitious Driver
2007-11-02 10:40:00 California flew by us. We had to find a home. We did stop, of course, at various parts of the Redwood National Forest. It was out of season, but I have to tell you that even IN season, I don’t think that the park was even close to anything we saw in New Zealand. It ... More About: Photos , Driver , Adventures , Ambit

And We Were Gone To Oregon
2007-10-31 18:15:00 It was hard to leave. Literally, difficult. We had to cram all our things in the car (clothes hangers, I miss you, I’m sorry you couldn’t come).

Nerd Workout
2007-10-24 11:39:00 For 3$, I decided it was worth the investment to purchase and attempt a second hand “Power Half Hour” workout DVD. I’m pretty skeptical of things like these. Would it work?
