These copper and glass votives from Anthropologie would be a great addition to a Thanksgiving or Christmas table. This is the wave pattern and they also come in a forest design. At $36 for two, the price is a bit steep. You could probably create something similar with a set of these six votive holders…

Gourmet this month has a great feature with recipes for different types of Thanksgiving celebrations. My favorite was the menu designed for four guests to celebrate. The best part was replacing the traditional roast turkey with a stuffed turkey roulade. I love cooking up pork loin roulades for dinner parties because it is so easy…

I wish I had a sweater coat like this to wear today. It was so cold and foggy when I went to vote at Fire Station No. 6 (Pride of the Castro!) this morning. A chunky cashmere sweater would have helped me get through all 10 pages of the ballot. Actually, I am really kicking…

Along with voting and getting the results of my MRI, I also have a trip to the opera scheduled for tomorrow. I bought two tickets to the Barber of Seville back when we went to the free opera in the Civic Center with Jordan and Paul. It’s going to be a big day! Dress –…

What a fun weekend! Rob and I drove down to San Luis Obispo on Friday night, stopping at In-n-Out on our way. The family dog, Penney, greeted us and we tucked in to bed in the guest room pretty early. On Saturday morning, it was up early to go to farmer’s market, the native plant…

What happened to this week? I can barely even remember Monday. I guess we spent that night recovering from our crazy weekend. And the next day was Halloween. And then came my MRA and now we are here! Let’s see what I learned: See Canyon braeburn apples really are the best. Especially good when combined…

Rob and I are going to a wedding reception for our old neighbors in San Luis Obispo this weekend. You may remember them from the wedding photo shoot back in August. We’re not sure what to expect because it is being held at their house. Either it will be very casual inside the tiny apartment…

Well, that was not pleasant! Rob and I drove over to the UCSF hospital on Parnassus at 9:00 in the rain. I signed into the radiology lab, got my hospital bracelet and was pretty quickly taken back to a tiny x-ray room full of four young doctors and nurses. Two preliminary x-rays before the handsome…

I have my MR Arthrogram tomorrow and am going to be unpluged from the internet for the day. Four blissful interrupted hours of radiology, sandbags and six inch long needles await me…lovely! Luckily, Rob is also taking the day off work to keep me company. If you are interested you can read more about this…

No need to spend over $500 on the black and cream Trina Turk outfit! Anna found a replacement skirt and the rest was easy. We even recreated some of the set too: Sweater – BCBG ribbed sweater on sale for $39.99. Skirt – In black taffeta for only $27.99 from Target. Bracelet – $12.50 from…
