Yearly Archives: 2012

I flew back from my business trip in Tampa late Friday night and arrived home at nearly 11:00.  Three long days of travel and event production with our media partner left me wiped out. It took me most of the weekend to shake off the jetlag feeling – so this was a pretty mellow one.…

My July recipes mostly come down to: feta cheese + any summer produce.  Feta is such a nice match with tomatoes, white peaches, zucchini, etc. Last night I added baked figs to the mix.  Just split the figs, stuff a bit of feta in each, top with pepper and broil until cooked and brown on…

My sudden burst of summer fitness continued this weekend. Another 57 miles of riding added on bringing the total for the week to over 125 miles! On Friday night, Rob added construction paper mohawks to our helmets for the San Francisco Bike Party’s punk rock olympics night.  The brit punk costumes were impressive and there…

I saw someone pair seafoam green jeans with a neon yellow belt a couple weeks ago. Such a fresh combination for summer! T-Shirt -Basic white tee from Gap. Jeans – Is that seafoam or melon? Awesome pair of pants either way.  Belt – I love all four neon colors of this belt from Shopbop. Shoes…

Did you have a nice mid-week break? It was so strange having a Wednesday off from work.  Rob and I got an early start to get out the apartment before the housekeeper arrived. We rode the tandem bike around the water, over the Golden Gate Bridge, down the Sausalito 4th of July parade route, over…

Waking up early on foggy mornings to watch the last 30 km of the day’s race through a tiny Belgian town before work. Tour de France season is such a true sign of summer.  And there’s a new batch of posters from UK designer, Crayonfire, to celebrate!

We started this weekend at the opera. A new production of Mozart’s Magic Flute was the final show in our summer series. They really pulled out all the stops!  In addition to a new English translation of the lyrics, the production had costumes and digitally-animated stages designed by the Japanese ceramic artist Jun Kaneko.  His…

I love my crazy life! This has been a particularly busy week: my company announced our Series C funding yesterday. Plus, I went to two networking parties, helped put together a “squirrel princess” themed party for a member of my team, painted a poster, negotiated a five figure donation, sewed the rest of my LAC…

I looked down today and realized I’ve been wearing an exclusive mix of red, white and blue for about the last two weeks. I think it started with that red, white and blue maxi dress outfit.  It’s been so easy while traveling since everything coordinates. Plus, the combo just feels like summer. Here are some…

Rob surprised me last night with the gift of a new (old) bike!  He had been bike shopping for something to replace my Globe, which was too heavy to ride frequently. My new Austrian-made Sears bike is probably from the 1960’s. It has a great leather saddle, quick steering and three gears. But the best…
