This week has been busy, yet slow-moving. It’s been incredibly busy at work, but not as productive as I’d like. I’ve been spending a lot of time in wheel-spinning frustration while stressed that there’s so much on my plate. But tomorrow is Friday, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel. As […]
Cheezecake, More Squash & Raw Almonds
I’m all for starting the week with a positively, but it’s a little hard when I’m scratching my head wondering where the weekend went! Something that tends to happen a lot in our family are last minute, throw together gatherings that are casual and the food consists of what we can scrounge up in our […]
Vegan Comfort Food
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend so far. We’re actually getting a smattering of rain today, which is big news for this area since that hasn’t happened in months. I had to laugh watching the news this morning while in the gym, they were featuring exciting close ups of rain drops running off […]
Vinegar Drink & Summer Lasagna
Yay, almost Friday! And I have a fun-loaded weekend to look forward to of shopping for running gear, checking out the grand opening of a new vegan shop and a cooking lecture/demonstration. This has felt like a long week being my first full work week in 3 weeks and still adjusting to getting up at […]

Napa Day 3 – We’re Ready to Relocate
By the third day in Napa on our mini getaway, we were getting pretty spoiled by wonderful food, wine, perfect weather and amazing views. I woke up wired again at 7 AM ready to hit to gym, but had to kill a little time drinking coffee and surfing the net before it opened at 8 […]
Napa Day 2 – Wine, Wine & More Wine
We really had no agenda for our impulse getaway to Napa, just stay at a nice hotel for a couple of days, check out some wineries and eat amazing food. On Saturday, I woke up wired at 7 AM, got dressed and headed to the gym while hubby slept in. The AVIA Napa does not […]
Napa Day 1 & Ubuntu
I’m settling back into reality after a wonderful mini-vacation in Napa valley, where I could easily live if there were enough tech job opportunities or I could afford a career switch to viticulture. Until then, living a 2 hour drive away will just have to do. Labor Day weekend is a fabulous time to go […]
Shopping, Concert & Poop Cleaning
Hello and happy Saturday! I’m already a couple of days into my long weekend and loving it. To kick off our long weekend, we went to a Megadeth concert Wednesday night, here’s a crappy phone pic as proof: I know – me a Megadeth fan? Not exactly, but a supportive wife of hubby’s music and […]
