And they still hold them (since 1711). And [...]

This morning I’m having a broken filling replaced. I don’t remember ever being nervous about going to the dentist before, but I’m a little nervous this time.

I celebrated the auspicious occasion by falling again. Only this time I fell down the stairs. Not pregnant, in my house. And this time I was chasing [...]

We actually started with dinner at Ping’s Chinese Restaurant in San Rafael, which is consistently lovely and affordable at the same time. If you ever get to go, order mu shu [...]

Maggie had her 3rd birthday a couple weeks back. It was a transition of a few days for her. She had a family party (she got her requested mac&cheese, olives, and broccoli) two days in advance, then spent the day of in her car seat on our roadtrip to Utah, and proceeded to spend several [...]

Yesterday afternoon and through the night our power was out. I love temporary power outages because they force us to abandon the TV and internet for more social stress-busters. And it’s a little like camping, with the flashlights and/or candles! I had a feeling the power would be out for more than a few minutes, [...]
