Seven-Two-Eleven

Hallie and Mitch are officially hitched! (I love, love this photo that Mitch’s cousin took.) We’re heading out to Kauai for our honeymoon in about an hour so the full recap will have to come later but suffice it to say, last weekend was one I will never forget. I don’t know about blood. but [...]

And What A Year It’s Been

The past few months have been all about school school school, to the point that I needed to look back at my blog entries to remember what else went on this year (OK, huge lie. The ring on my finger is a pretty good reminder too). But it turn out, most of 2010 was pretty [...]

Getting my Zen on at Kripalu: Part 2

Missed Part 1 of my recap of my two-day stay at Kripalu Center? Forgot I even went there at all since it’s been forever? Grr…I’m not going to apologize for my sporadic blogging, since it’s my blog and I do what I want, but still. When they come up with that 30-hour day, I’ll be [...]

Getting my Zen on at Kripalu: Part 1

Post subtitle: vacation recap #1 Once again, if you’re new to these parts, last week I took a trip to Boston, starting with a two-day (1.5 days, really) stay at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, located in the Berkshires region of western Massachusetts. My (and Mitch’s) flight, transportation to and from the retreat, [...]

Back Back in Cali Cali

Vacation over. Sad face. Although…I get to come home to San Diego so I can’t complain ever too much. Thanks to all my amazing guest bloggers! I left you with some good stuff, huh? Boston was lovely, the yoga retreat was very zen, and over it was great to step outside my normal routine and [...]

Guest Post: Clare and Healthy Living Abroad

Hallo! (This is the much more commonly used German greeting, as opposed to Guten Tag…Thank you very little Rosetta Stone) My name is Clare and I’m visiting today from Greetings from the Merritts. I moved to Germany in December with my (cute) military husband. We are here for a year and we absolutely love it! [...]

Pack it Up Pack it In

Hey! I’m getting ready for my trip but I wanted to pop in here first. I’m going to post my half-marathon recap tomorrow morning, since I took today off from exercise (which ended up being a good thing since I worked and was running around, and I kinda jacked up my shoulder yesterday so I [...]

Quinoa and Countdowns

Two more days…two more days…two more days of work until my vacation! I’m totally doing the pre-vacation dance. And the countdown. Actually, that’s not even true that I’m done in two days. I’m working overtime at my museum on Saturday and Sunday, and we leave for Boston on Monday. Somewhere in there I need to [...]

Eighteen Hours in Las Vegas

Last weekend, I went to Las Vegas for the night to watch my dad’s cousin Howard perform with his group George Galfo’s Mystics as part of the Doo-Wopp Hall of Fame of America performance at the Venetian casino. I basically invited myself to tag along when my dad told me he was going because come [...]

Crock-Pot Mulligatawny Soup

Super-cool news at the bottom of this post!! Well, cool for me, anyway. I had big plans to do lots of Christmas shopping today. Go ahead….ask me how much I got done. I did buy 1 1/2 presents online…so that’s something, right? I was really lazy today, and honestly,  it was nice. Except for the [...]
