What I’m looking forward to this weekend….

1. Happy hour at one of our favorite places on Friday afternoon (Café Chloe or El Dorado, most likely…still working out that detail. San Diego just has too many great happy hours!)


2. Heading to LA for some food, folks, and fun!

3. Making Boston Cream Pie cupcakes!!

4. Giving S his birthday presents! (Yeah, his birthday is on May 21…let’s hope that the world doesn’t end!)

5. Hanging out with an old friend who is visiting from Baltimore.

Total eclipse

Today there was an eclipse, which was apparently only visible if you were on a Pacific Island or at sea somewhere off the West Coast. I was disappointed that I did not see it, but kind of happy to know that it occurred.

I remembered in second grade, when my teacher told me about the eclipse that was to occur the next day, and how it would become completely dark in the middle of the day. Our class excitedly asked her if we could watch it, but of course, we couldn't. We did have the windows open so that we could see that it was dark outside. To my seven-year-old brain, it was delightful.

I'm writing this down to remember. It made me happy to remember something from my childhood, and to feel that excitement once again. To remember that despite everything that may have gone wrong or has been painful, it's been a good life.

I don't remember but it's all right

Anybody up for going to see the cherry blossoms this weekend? Argh, I think that I need acupuncture. All of that toxic stress from the wedding seems to be slowly seeping out, and I'm left feeling immensely tired and sore all the time.

Married!

Pictures to come!

Happy New Year!

It's the year of the Ox.

In my opinion, the best holiday. :)
