Tonight we headed up to Little Shop for Terra’s book release party. Little donuts, ginger ale, books and friends!
photo friday: golden gate park
We could spend days exploring this amazing park! From Koret Children’s Quarter playground, to the museums, the deYong and the California Academy of Sciences and thenonto all the hidden gardens, I loved being there. Lunch at the Park Chalet was relaxing and delicious. A stroll by the windmills and the bison ended at Sprekles Lake

I opened my notebook tonight to look at my notes from last week. Oops. Maybe I’ll take better notes in class this week?
working for the weekend
Scrambling, scrambling this week to clear out my to do list. Table returned to IKEA. White t-shirt bought for Chloe. Work caught up on. Most of the “Goodwill item pile” sent on to new homes. Web page backlog almost cleared. Plans to change address with school system tomorrow. My motivation? Having a weekend in wich

The dining room is looking better and better. A light, some plants, some decorations and even a nice bouquet of flowers….
happiness project: energy (may)
So, how’s it going, this happiness project topic for May? Unfortunately, not so well. I have “sort of” done the Whole Living cleanse. But when I don’t feel good, I lose any and all motivation and willpower that I have. And I’ve only felt good/strong for about a total of ten minutes this week. It

I had to go to Walmart today, so I treated myself to flowers while I was there.

I’m hoping that once I can find a bit more energy and balance, I’ll be able to get back to reading more once again….
celebrations: week 19 (6-12 may 2013)
I have finally resigned myself to the fact that we are not going to have the “ideal” daily holiday celebrations that I was so hoping to have this year. But if I can get a few ideas together anyway, then next year it will be easier to have even better celebrations, right? Last week, we
daily photo: foggy morning
What a foggy morning. Up at six to get a start on my crazy list of things to do, but it was worth it to see the foggy sky.
always behind. never ahead.
For years now, I’ve always felt behind on my to do list. Occasionally I manage to wrestle it down to size for a few days or weeks, but it always seems to get the better of me again, even when I give up various projects. The constant struggle is exhausting, overwhelming much of the time.

A very rainy day. Lovely for staying in, relaxing and tackling the crazy list of things that need to get done.
ikea, oh, ikea
IKEA. I fell in love back when I was a graduate student. Living on my own as a grad student in Houston, I was thrilled when IKEA opened. I could have fairly nice furniture at low cost. I could “decorate” with things I liked. Quickly, I knew all the shortcuts. Visiting IKEA was always a
photo friday: alcatraz island
The ONE thing the girls insisted on wanting to do while we were in San Francisco last month? Go to Alcatraz! They’ve both been before, but back when they were far to young to remember going. This trip, they’ll remember. Both enjoyed it for very different reasons. Camille loved the history. Chloe loved the natural

Camille and I took Phelix on a walk to the library and stopped by the art fest poster unveiling.
volunteering: cert training begins
In fact, it actually began last week while I was in New York City. Trying to fit in an eight week class, even with our greatly reduced travel schedule, is a big challenge. Especially for an anxiety ridden person like me. Will I fit in? Will I make a fool of myself? Am I going

Yeah! We have light in our apartment!
happiness project: Energy (May)
May is here! And now it is time for me to buckle down and retackle my Happiness Project. As I outlined last month, this month I’ll be focusing on energy once again. The main categories of items I’ll ba\e tackling this month are : sleep, food, drinks, supplements, exercise, and environment. The first week, I’m
