  • The Long Walk

    I was exhausted yesterday, suffering from a late-night return from Long Island for seder (thanks again, Tamara!) and possibly still recovering from the salumi-fest on Monday night.  Although I managed to work out on Wednesday, I couldn't handle it last night.  Instead, I walked home from work, which takes about an hour.  It was lovely

  • Weekend Roundup

    Pizza, wine and laughs, biking on the West Side bike path, still taunted by the puppy, Num Pang deliciousness, Whisk & Ladle, quality couch time, slow cooker prep, new cell phone ring, lazy lazy Sunday, possible trip/escape planning. And clearly not feeling much like blogging.  Sorry.

    – Why is the sky blue?– What is the meaning of life?– Where the hell did this bruise on my knee come from?

  • It Was Bound to Happen

    since I made it through most of the winter with no major ailments — I've got a touch of the plague.  Blech.  I'm armed with the proper supplies and leftover soba in broth from Soba-ya, so I should be set.

    Can't I work from my bed today?  Please?  I'm so warm and comfy and it sounds very windy outside.  Oh, and please bring me breakfast in bed.  I like one sugar in my coffee (although skim lattes are even better). Thank you.

  • Looking Back

    Over the weekend I did some looking back at the archives of my blog.  I've been blogging regularly since 2003, and I have to say that it's fascinating (at least to me) to have an electronic record of that time.  Granted, it's only a limited sliver of my life, but it really does bring back

  • Musings/Thoughts of the Day

    Why on earth did I wake up at 5 a.m. this morning? I feel guilty that I GChat spammed people even though it wasn't my fault.  Oops.  Carrying my new lunch tote makes me happy (it's the little things). I'm excited to make meat loaf this week, and possibly even more excited for leftover cold meatloaf

  • Note to Self

    Best to schedule all future eye doctor appointments at the end of the day.  Going to work unable to focus on the computer screen and looking drugged out from dialated pupils is just no good all around.
