No More November

11.30.2010

Wow, it’s already time to say goodbye to another month and welcome the last month of 2010. Is this weird to anyone else besides myself? We’re about to enter another decade. Ahhh, sometimes I wish time would slowww down.  November was not a spectacular month for me. It was not nearly as exciting as was [...]

Get ‘er Done

11.29.2010

4 classes + 1 final exam + 3 hours scrambling to pick up my group’s slack for our oral presentation tomorrow = my 10-hour day at school after a week “break”. Welcome back to reality! 2 weeks and 4 finals to go. I got this. Time to “get ‘er done”! [Did I really just say [...]

Rain, Roots & [Sushi] Rolls

11.26.2010

I really don’t know where the week went. It seems as though it was just yesterday that I was eating a much-anticipated sushi dinner with my dad. I can almost taste it still. Ohhh… maybe it’s because I had sushi for dinner with the parentals again as my last supper in town. I probably could [...]

A Gracious Good Night

11.25.2010

I wish there was more than one day out of the year that we stopped to think about what we have to be thankful for. Nevertheless, if not every day, today I will remind myself of just a few things that are deserving of my gratitude: my mother’s patience, through sobbing phone calls and one [...]

Already Stuffed

11.25.2010

Oh, dear me. Before I got started on today’s main event – eating – I went on a traditional Thanksgiving morning run with my friends Amy and Stacy. We covered roughly 9 hilly miles in 84 minutes, a little faster than a turkey trots ;) It was a beautiful morning – the golf course was [...]

& the baking bonanza begins…

11.24.2010

I love to bake year-round, but my inspiration to tie on my apron spikes as the days shorten and there becomes a nip in the air. I love flipping through the holiday cookie magazines as I wait in line at the grocery store with my pound of sugar and bulk bag of dried fruits and [...]

Pizza for the Parents

11.23.2010

I know it isn’t Friday, but pizza and beer were on the menu tonight. The beer traveled all the way from Minnesota, courtesy of my aunt + uncle. … while the pizza featured local chevre cheese and a freshly-made crust from a [Bay Area] farmers’ market.   All in all: local basil pesto, caramelized onion [...]

Running Tuesday: Injury Episode

11.23.2010

Good morning! Running Tuesday is off to a great start around here. I met a couple of my girlfriends for a 55-minute run through the Redwood forest this morning. It was snowing lightly before we started! 32* is cold when you’re wearing shorts – silly me. It was refreshing to say the least. I do [...]
