January is an odd month, isn’t it? I find myself trying to get motivated for the year, feeling pressure to meet goals and get things going while sometimes having the blahs and lacking motivation with the winter weather. It’s been a productive long weekend so far while we tackle house projects and I’ve been doing […]
Good Company for the List
Wow, this weekend flew by too fast. Miko agreed, he jumped out of bed so excited for his long walk Saturday, he dragged his blanket with him. Of course there was a deal hunting trip to Grocery Outlet where I scored cheap cans of organic beans, hummus and almond dips, and Kite Hill Vegan Yogurt […]
Delicious Eats for the List
It has been a lazy weekend here with my sweet home office buddy enjoying a warm blanket under his space heater. That’s because it’s been cold, windy, and rainy all weekend. Besides going to the gym and running errands, we’ve been spending time indoors eating leftovers, organizing, playing games, and watching movies. And my last […]
Wrapping Up 2018 for the List
2018 was an odd year, something I feel like I been saying too much the last couple of years. There were a lot of ups and down and I’m ready to move onto a fresh year. There were adventures and fun. But also sadness and negativity. I think I’ve learned to deal with that and […]
Holiday Spirit for the List
Another weekend whiffed by and whoa, it’s December! 2018 is almost done, that is crazy. We’ve been getting so much rain here lately that things are starting to look green and clear which is such a welcome change after all the smoke. Miko has been happy to snuggle in his blanket and skip the cold […]
Rain and Celebration for the List
It’s been a great few days off for Thanksgiving, so great I’m a little sad about going back to work tomorrow. Oh well, back to the grind. Thanksgiving started with an easy 4-mile run in the chilly wind. I didn’t mind, so great to see clouds and fall lease everywhere after smoke and dryness during […]
Comforting Eats for Tough Times
We’re still here with very frustrated dogs! Currently our air quality status is hazardous from the Camp Fire just north which is the worst rating I’ve ever seen. That rating basically means don’t go outside without a mask and it’s been consistently bad every evening since Friday so no evening walks for us. I’ve been […]
Smoky Weekend for the List
As you’ve probably seen, California is on fire again and it’s horrible. I can’t even imagine what the victims of these fires are going through. It’s hard to consider that a fire can move so fast and take out entire cities today, but that’s the reality of climate change and my heart and support goes […]
Keeping Busy for the Weekend List
Whew, it has been a week and a crazy weekend! And I still have a lot to do which I’m thankful for. It’s been cold and foggy here too and the views from our morning dog walks have been gorgeous. Miko’s idea of a good weekend is plenty of fireplace toasting, especially in the chilly […]
Wine Party & Tapering for the List
Just wow on Thanksgiving almost being here! I’ve been invited to a couple of vegan Thanksgiving dinners through local vegan Meetup groups which is awesome, it’s so great knowing there’s a large group of vegans in the area that want to celebrate together. This year we’ll be spending it locally with family, but it will […]
