Yesterday I got my new beach cruiser bike! It isn’t red, like I thought I was going to get, because they didn’t have a red one in stock, and the owner said that it would be at least a month before they could get one. He showed me a picture of it, and [...]

I just got my first paycheck from my summer fellowship, and it’s burning a whole in my pocket! I’m really excited about this one, because it’s my “mad money” for my upcoming trip to Boston/CT! I’m going to put most of the money aside to save for my vacation expenses, although my airfare and hotels [...]
Weekend To-Do: Farmers’ Markets
Posted in Italian, cooking, family, fun times, health, home, life, new beginnings, summer, weekends, tagged farmers' markets, fresh vegetables, organic on June 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This summer, one of the things I’ve vowed to change is the way that I buy vegetables.
Growing up, we always went to Cosentino’s Market to get the freshest veggies possible during the non-summer months. Owned by a local Italian family that had acres and acres of orchards and produce, they always had wonderful produce. In [...]
Get my books where? A Library!
Posted in books, changes, happiness, life, new discoveries, reading, summer, tagged library on June 24, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I love to read. No matter how much I have going on in my life, I always have a book (or two) started. I feel strange if I don’t have a current read sitting on my nightstand or tucked into my bag. My bookshelf is filled to capacity with all of my precious treasures.
I [...]
Not so brilliant today

Today was my neighbor NC’s wedding. She and her fiance are two of the best people you could ever want for neighbors, and I was really flattered that she had invited me to celebrate this special occasion with her.
Because of the fasting, and the fact that I wouldn’t have known anyone there, I told [...]

When I went to CTLB’s surprise goodbye party last week, I met lots of her SF friends. One of them, Mike, and I were outside sharing a smoke and talking about music. Mike is the drummer in the band Midnight Strangers, and told me he was playing a show on Thursday at Grant & [...]

This is, by far, the best summer fellowship I’ve ever had! I can’t believe that I was thinking about not doing a fellowship this summer — I would’ve missed out on so much.
Not only are the people here all really warm and welcoming, but they gave me a MacBookPro to use – exactly like the [...]

Last week was my last week of school, as well as my first week working from home for my summer fellowship. Talk about a whirlwind of activity!
Between the grading (essays and finals), the activities, the graduation, the goodbyes (several retirees at school this year), and the cleaning of my classroom, I was swamped with work. [...]
Addicted to Facebook Flair
Posted in life, procrastination, school year, tagged facebook, flair on June 9, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I spent at least an hour and a half today browsing through the flair module on Facebook. This time should have been spent grading more of the essays I have to finish before Tuesday.
What is flair, you ask? They’re little buttons you can post on your Facebook page. Think high school backpacks. [...]
Sex & The City party

On Friday night, CBCB threw a Sex & The City party for all of her best girlfriends, complete with flower pins, cosmos, the movie soundtrack that I had burned for her off of iTunes, and plenty of food. It was so fun!
By the time BFF and I arrived, the party was well underway and [...]
