Weekends

Ugh, the weather this weekend was the pits. Super cold, rainy and overcast. On Friday night, it was in the 40’s and rainy, so Rob and I just went home after work instead of trying for a movie. The next morning, we had a quick breakfast and braved the rain to run an errand in…

This was a great weekend! Lovely weather, lots of time with friends and plenty of relaxing. I stayed at work late Friday for my annual review. Rob and I had a quiet night at home that evening. On Saturday, we had a nice breakfast of egg-in-the-basket with sourdough bread and a heart shaped cut out.…

I know it’s a snowy mess in most of the country right now – so I hate to point out the record-breaking warm temperatures we had in San Francisco for the weekend. Highs in the mid 70’s…in February?! Well, best to enjoy it while it lasted. On Friday night, I left a work event celebrating…

I tried to rest-up this weekend after last weekend’s Scottish epic. But, as always with me, I don’t slow down very successfully. On Friday night, the temperature dropped so Rob and I cancelled our plans for the evening to stay home instead. On Saturday, I spent the morning exercising, washing laundry, baking and cleaning house.…

What a weekend! We were lucky to have the first geniunely nice weather in months pass through town. On Friday, Rob and I went to see The King’s Speech after work. What a great movie! Helena Bonham Carter was awesome. On Saturday morning, we went for breakfast at the new Grove down the street. Cute…

What a nice Christmas! This year’s holiday was a smash hit – nary a glitch despite being a packed house. Rob and I arrived down in San Luis Obispo late Thursday night and joined up with the family on Friday morning. Some much needed Christmas Eve laziness, plus a hike to the top of Bishop’s…

I have a life-hangover from this weekend! So much fun and so many parties. (And so few photos, they’re all on Jean’s camera). So, my sister Jean arrived Thursday night and on Friday morning I took off for the holiday celebration day at work. All the women in my office were treated to massages, pedicures…

The weekend got off to a rocky start when I woke up Friday feeling rotten from a fresh cold. With the big party on Sunday, I had to get better, stat. I hibernated immediately. Homemade chicken soup, tea with honey and 20 hours of sleep. I woke up on Saturday miraculously cured! Immune system FTW!…

This was a quiet, pleasant weekend with yet another giant rainstorm passing through the city. On Friday, Rob swung by my office for my company’s monthly office dinner. It’s always fun to eat together, listen to music and see everyone’s friends, kids, spouses, etc. Home relatively early to rest up. Egg tacos with jalapeño sausage…

Back in the city late Friday night with some serious back pain from my old injury flaring up (pinched nerve that makes my whole left side aching, nothing serious but it slows me down). To bed with a painkiller. Rob had to work the next morning and left me with lots of pillows, ibuprofin and…
