Weekends

Rob and I usually like to volunteer for MLK Day of Service, but this year we had different plans. Instead of working at a national park, I volunteered with my office at a community center on Friday and then we drove Sean and Margaret to San Luis Obispo for the weekend. She was introducing him…

I’ve been wearing a FitBit for a work project. It counted that I hit over 50,000 steps this weekend! Whew, this was a good one. On Friday, Rob and I dressed up to the nines for the birthday of Bike Party, complete with bow tie and faux fur coat. We met up with a big…

This was a lovely inside kind of weekend. After a month of parties, dinners, travel, etc. it was grand to spend quiet time inside drinking tea, doing chores and relaxing. Aside from the New Year’s Eve party on Saturday night, we barely left the house! On Saturday morning, we had a bit oatmeal breakfast. Rob…

I don’t know how it was in your neck of the woods, but here in California – Christmas was almost cancelled by what seemed to be a massive outbreak of cold and flu. All told, we missed out on seeing 9 different people this weekend due to illness – not our finest holiday. It hit…

I’m still recovering from this weekend. As seems to be holiday tradition, I come down with a fresh cold on Friday before the season’s biggest social weekend. I blew off two really fun sounding Christmas parties and barely recovered in time for our big brunch on Sunday. Despite the cold making me pretty useless and…

The holiday season arrived in full force this weekend, whether we were ready for it or not! On Friday, I spent the day at the amazing Nob Hill Spa with the women from my office. A full six hours of lounging in a bathrobe, sitting on the terrace, hot tubs, saunas and facials. That night,…

Very mellow weekend after working like mad on Friday. I helped organize a user conference for 1,000+ attendees. It was a lot of fun, but tremendously stressful. On Friday night, I came home an exhausted heap and Rob cooked me dinner. Saturday morning, we had a lazy breakfast and then went to return the u-Haul…

This was a very mellow weekend thanks to the freezing cold weather and just generally feeling burnt out. We took it pretty easy. I’m working on learning to use the Bamboo Pen Rob bought me for my birthday, so I went for sketches instead of photos for this post. Bear with me, I have no…

On Friday, I cleaned up dishes from the pumpkin carving party by candlelight during a neighborhood power outage. Rob came home and the lights came on, so we made a poster to virtually-cheer Jean during her Ironman race the next day. We packed up early next morning to drive to Samuel P. Taylor campground for…

What a great weekend! A little bit of everything and perfect, warm weather. San Francisco is a wonderful city for letting everyone live the life they choose. In my case, I get to choose a goofy mix of opera, archery and French bistros on the beach! We kicked things off on Friday with a night…
