My mom got me My Life in France by Julia Child for my birthday! I am really excited to read it as I love Julia Child, I love France, and have been interested in reading biographies and memoirs lately. She also knitted me a shrug. Which reminds me, I should probably try to bang out […]

The rain dissipated as soon as we pulled out of the dock at Bainbridge on our way to Seattle. When we arrived in the city, we walked to the Seattle Art Museum to check out the “Japan Envisions The West” exhibit before it leaves town later this month. After that we grabbed coffees and walked […]
real age

This morning around ten minutes to eight, I completed another lap around the sun. I really do not feel like I am my “numerical age.” But then, how would I know what that feels like? I don’t know. I just feel younger than I am. I know I look younger than I am — I […]

Here is my current knitting project: fingerless gloves. They are so soft and will be so pretty. The yarn is baby alpaca! If you click on that pic, you can see the extra large blown up version. I am knitting them “in the round” on a four-needle frame, which means they will be seamless. It’s […]

We went running in the rain. My shoes were already soaked to my socks by the time we reached the quarter-mile oval. I circled the track three times, alternating walking and running, but on the final lap I jogged the whole way. I guess after a while I didn’t notice the rain as much. Our […]

Despite sore muscles, Brian and I worked out in the garage again today. Same strength training stuff; crunches, push ups, planks, lunges. After three sets of each, we took a short jog, very short, only a half mile. We walked out to the main road and Brian said, “I want you to jog all the […]

Here’s a fun writing exercise: create a livejournal or other blog for a fictional character, and write a journal in that person’s voice. I decided to do that today and just see where it takes me. I know a lot of people on LJ have “side” journals that are anonymous where they are more free […]

This is what I made for breakfast this morning: French toast made with fresh French bread and an egg custard infused with orange juice and nutmeg. It was delicious. Later we went for a run. Total distance was three miles, though I probably only jogged for a third of that due to my lack of […]

The way I’ve spent my new year’s eve: + working out with Brian, which was good and will give me sore abs tomorrow. + cleaning the house. It’s always good to start a new year in a tidy home. + going out for dinner — we went to our favorite Mexican place downtown, which was […]
