Weekends

That’s right, I haven’t done anything at all in several days. My brilliant plan to take a few days off in between jobs was thwarted by a very bad cold. I barely got in a few errands and a dinner party during the whole week. Adding insult to injury, my illness only got worse as…

I had a lovely time on the train! I boarded the Coast Starlight first thing Friday morning and rode down to San Luis Obispo. I did wear tweed 😉 Just a mini skirt with black tights, though. I enjoyed a coffee along with a cheese plate in the observation car: It was so nice to…

This weekend I learned that crafts not only stimulate your creativity, but can also work out your abs. I’ve practically earned a six pack after spending two days Gocco-printing. Rob left early Saturday morning for a day-long mountain bike ride. I walked around the neighborhood running errands and prepping the my sister’s save-the-date designs for…

What a great weekend! Just the right mix of doing a lot and doing nothing. On Friday, Rob and I had plans to go to the gym but blew them off at the last minute for two events with coworkers. The first, Timbuk2’s 20th anniversary warehouse party. The messenger bag company opened up their production…

Rob and I seem to be kicking off the summer by spending a lot of time down in Half Moon Bay. We biked to Point Montara lighthouse, spent a short week with the family at Moss Beach and this weekend rode down to Pescadero. If only all these lovely rough beaches and wildflower covered bluffs…

Ah, long weekends. Rob and I loved this opportunity to relax in the country. We drove up to Weaverville early Saturday morning to spend time with our friends, Rich and Molly. First stop: Cottonwood. We met Rich and Molly there with some of her relatives, all working on rounding up cattle that had been grazing…

Gorgeous weather this weekend! Hot but with a nice breeze to keep us from melting. On Friday, Rob and I walked home and then took the bike to Civic Center to register for Bay to Breakers. We had a mellow dinner of leftover lasagna. The next morning, we had our usual oatmeal and coffee breakfast…

Our poor friends! It’s a wonder that they still talk to us after all the crazy adventures we take them on. This weekend, we invited Seth and Amy along on our first overnight bike tour. It was epic. Of course, the ride seemed like it was going to be a cinch. Only 25 miles each…

The rainy weather this weekend was just right. I need the bout of inside time to relax and recuperate. And to spend some time with lovely friends! On Friday, Rob and I ran some errands on our way home, picked up a second fondue pot at a friend’s apartment and spent the evening cleaning and…

Whew…we did a lot of biking this weekend. It’s great training for the tour, but -wow- am I tired. On Friday, our friend Jackie came out from Davis. Critical Mass was on her list of 30-things to do before turning 30 and we were glad to help. We joined up with the other bike riders…
