Pomegranate Harvest

-
I didn't bring my camera with me on Saturday because we were trekking across San Francisco but it's a shame because it was such a beautiful day.  We spent time at Kim's apartment in Cow Hollow, then got gourmet sandwiches from the Blue Fog Market, had a picnic and watched the Blue Angels flying from Fort Mason park.  Then we watched the rest of the A's game at Kim's place before having dinner and then heading home.  It was a perfectly clear 70* day in San Francisco, which is really really rare.  We got spoiled.

Matt left for his business trip to Russia on Sunday morning and Kim and I took Lily & Mitzi the dog to the park.  Then we harvested pomegranates from their tree.  They're a little underripe but I think they'll ripen after a few days of being in a dry, cool place (or so says ehow).







It took us about 7 hour to get home today due to a long lunch and construction that brought the 5 down to one lane for a stretch.  Now that we're back, Lily is happily watching Dora the Explorer while I finish unpacking.  I'd like to promise that I'll be better about posting this month but I just know that I won't.  4 days after Matt gets back from Russia, I have a 4 day business trip to Long Beach.  Matt will be in Long Beach for 2 days and then goes to Korea for a week.  I have 3 days at home before I then head to St. Louis for another 4 day business trip.  Matt gets back from Korea while I'm in St. Louis.  After I get back from St. Louis, we are at home for a bit and Jess comes to visit us right after Halloween.  But the day that Jess leaves, I also leave for another 4 day business trip.  After that, I think we're free for the rest of November.  With all that travel, we're definitely staying in L.A. for Thanksgiving.  :)  Until next time...

Holy smokes, I haven’t blogged since our November vacay to French Polynesia!!!!  I knew it had been a while but didn’t realize how far off the blagon I was! So much has happened in the past 2 months for us all & it feels a bit silly to blog about anything but at the same time, we all probably benefit from a little distraction, right? There have been a ton of tips out there about working from home.  Having given my share  already , I didn’t really read anything that I wasn’t already generally aware of and for the first month of quarantine it was pretty much business as usual for me. All that changed until almost 3 weeks ago when Matt reentered the corporate world.  His desk in the cave wasn’t going to work anymore.  With COVID-19, the kids are all home all day except for a brief walk or two and they need that space to play.  Plus, even if we could get them to stay out of the cave, he would still hear them ...

Good gods, it's been so long I almost don't know where to start!  Despite 2020 being 2020, we still had a really nice end to the year.  That period from Halloween to Christmas is always my favorite and still felt special even though we didn't get to do some of our traditions like the annual Christmas tree lighting on the Pier. In some ways I'm actually finding 2021 to be rougher than 2020.  We've turned the page on the year but in LA we haven't really turned the page on the pandemic yet.  As of a few days ago we were still hovering above the 15% ICU bed availability so it's hard to feel a sense of progress, even as so many other places seem to be on a path to normalcy.  We're also in the midst of our umpteenth COVID scare of the past year with our umpteenth suite of negative test results to match.  I don't understand how it's possible for our family to get so many colds when we barely leave the house. Despite all that, we've been keeping busy...

Gettin' Back in Shape

After losing most of my Jason-weight pretty quickly, I've stalled hard the past few months.  I don't have any excuses but I have a ton of reasons: I really enjoy having wine with dinner most nights. I really enjoy having something sweet after dinner most nights. I really don't enjoy running or any sort of cardio-aerobic activity. I really hate counting calories or keeping a food journal. I seem to always have morning calls, which cause me to miss the exercise class that I like the best.  Every time I got into a rhythm, I would get interrupted with another project that requires morning calls. I can lose weight pretty easily when I actually get my butt in gear so I never feel a sense of urgency about it. I was still nursing and hungry all the time. I could go on & on b ut after weaning Jason about a month ago, I lost that last one.  Since then, I started working out with a trainer every Tuesday afternoon & going to her group class every Friday morning. I...
