Yearly Archives: 2006

I have a new rug for the living room on order from Pier 1. It should arrive on the 4th. Luckily it matches perfectly with this inspiring color palate I just discovered today from the Hotel Therese in Paris (thanks ApartmentTherapy!). I love that pear green color and it is especially fresh with the raspberry…

The Hawaiian madness continues. Last week, I reported that four people I knew were going to Hawaii at the same time. That number quickly turned into six. Now the official “everyone is in Hawaii this March but me” count is up to 11 people! While I continue to bundle up and brave the rain in…

Finally! A chance to relax on the weekend. With a bunch of people out of town and an empty social calendar, last weekend was a break from out hectic schedules. Friday night we went rock climbing at the gym for a few hours and then home for a cozy dinner. Saturday morning was a much…

Earlier this week, I got completely wrapped up in a New Yorker article by one of my favorite contributors. Calvin Trillin usually writes about food and travel for the New Yorker and has published several clever books. The most recent piece was about the death of his beloved wife and frequent “straight man” Alice. I…

Rob turns 32 tomorrow! (Doesn’t he look like James Dean in this photo?) Here’s to another happy year full of travel, rock climbing, photography, goldfish, Yosemite, rock shows, camping, pedicabs, skateboards and more! Happy Birthday!

Another crazy week…another set of important lessons learned. Each Monday I think to myself: “I don’t have any big plans this week. Looks like I finally get a chance to relax.” Each Friday I think: “What happened!? I went to a reggae concert? Oh well, at least I don’t have any big plans next week.”…

Rob just told me that our friends Matt and Amber have extra tickets to a show at The Fillmore tonight. We are going to see “Toots and the Maytalls” which is apparently a very famous reggae band. This will be my first time seeing a show at The Fillmore! I’m not a huge reggae listener…

Kickball season is back! With Trent as our coach, a bunch of us are signed up for the CA Gold Rush League of the World Adult Kickball Association. Kickball is huge in San Francisco. There are four leagues in San Francisco alone, each with more than five teams. Rob and I played on Trent’s team…

Rich has posted his photos from last weekend’s Yosemite trip on Flickr. I am the one with the funny nordic beanie, Nicole Richie sunglasses and so many layers of clothes that I look like I recently gained 150 pounds! Here is a great shot of that delightful ensemble. Hey, at least I was warm. I…

Macy’s is having a spring sale on all sorts of things online. The sale even includes my new Tommy Hilfiger “South Hampton” bedding set. I ordered an extra set of sheets earlier this week. I recently updated my bedroom with this bedding, an oriental rug and two antique celadon green porcelain lamps. It sounds crazy,…
