Visit 3 new states (#8)
Posted on November 4, 2011 by KK in 100 things, travel.I’m on a ROLL with the accomplishing of things lately. Considering that I am now on a countdown of less than a year (eek!) to finish as much as possible on my list, I need to keep this roll going. During the first week of October, Dan and I took a trip to Boston to […]

This could really be a good life, a good, good life
Posted on November 2, 2011 by KK in Berkeley, family.So, yesterday morning, I had stayed home from the office to get some administrative work and some staff gift-making done free from office distractions. At some point, I looked around and thought “this is basically our day to day life personified” so I documented the moment, for your viewing pleasure. Here is Dan, attaching baskets […]

‘Sunny Fields’ California*
Posted on November 1, 2011 by KK in friends, travel.In mid-September, I took Dan on a ‘thank you for keeping me sane over the summer and during RA training’ trip to Palm Springs and Santa Barbara.

The jumping off point: This […]

Posted on October 25, 2011 by KK in 100 things, food.I mentioned a couple of posts ago that I made some cupcakes 2 weekends ago, which I realized later was the 4th new kind of cupcake I had made. So, this past weekend had to include cupcakes so I could finish up this goal. Clearly. That makes sense to you, right? Of course it does, […]

The earth moved under my feet…
Posted on October 21, 2011 by KK in Berkeley.You got the song reference right? In case you heard, we had two earthquakes today, both about 4.0, both actually centered in Berkeley, on the Hayward Fault. (Yes, for as great as it is to live here, I live 2 blocks off a major fault.) One was actually centered at one of our residential complexes […]

Wednesday: an evening in short stories
Posted on October 20, 2011 by KK in kitties, random, work.I bought a blanket at Pottery Barn last week that I have been eyeing for about 6 months now. Is it weird to be obsessed with a blanket? Anyway, it’s cable knit and then one side is lined with super soft fleece. I brought it home and tonight curled up under it to read. I’m […]

Domestic-ness
Posted on October 17, 2011 by KK in food, random.Today was a super productive day. Feeling really good about it. I’ve been in PJs and sweats…all day. We did not leave the house. We cleaned, did laundry, organized, folded laundry, unpacked (since we got home last Tuesday) and other random house type chores, which I normally dread, but today made me feel incredibly accomplished.
