It’s kind of like a little angel on your shoulder
I pull up to the drive-through coffee hole today. I've been there a million times and always order the same thing but I guess since I've dropped my visitations significantly in the last six months my standing order is a challenge because this particular barista always guesses and keeps getting it wrong the last couple months, which gives me a ( Read more... ) -
Speaking of parfaits
So I had a yogurt-berry-granola parfait at Whole Foods a few weeks back and it got me all parfait crazy. It was in a 16oz cup which turned out to be a perfect size to share between myself and the kids. That's how I ended up deciding on parfaits instead of a birthday cake this year (I looked but none of them really struck my fancy anyway ( Read more... ) -
Lay off the poor Komodo dragons already
Didja hear about the scuba divers who got swept out to sea in Indonesia and luckily made it to an island where they spent two nights before being rescued? Certainly a traumatic ordeal and thank goodness a happy ending, but I really can't take any more of this reporting about shark-infested waters and fending off Komodo dragons. It's just not fair ( Read more... ) -

Gronk gronk! Thinking of Tammy...
From NPR:
The documentary A Seal's Life shows the annual return of elephant seals to the beaches along the California coast after months at sea. Filmmaker Drew Wharton and seal expert Burney Le Boeuf talk to Liane Hansen [and] discuss the migration - as they stand on a beach among thousands of seals.
If you listen to the show (10 minutes) you get to ( Read more... ) -
email snarl
If you sent me email and it bounced, please resend. Our email server was down for a week (Wednesday 1/9, 4:30pm to Tuesday 1/15, 8am). Sorry it took me so long to deal with it. I noticed I couldn't connect but I've had so many network and computer problems lately I blew it off. Turns out the machine was just powered off, probably after one of the ( Read more... ) -
The Perfumer’s Apprentice this week
I'll be going to The Perfumer's Apprentice in downtown Santa Cruz this week if anyone wants to join. I selected Wednesday the 13th, 7-9pm (which is special by-appointment hours). Let me know if you are coming so I can get a head count. It's upstairs next to the Thai restaurant which I think is near Bead It! but am not positive. It's a wee little ( Read more... ) -
iGeek therefore iRSI
Santa snuck an 8GB iPod nano in my stocking. I've been wanting an MP3 player since at least 1998 when I was very close to getting a Rio but it just wasn't quite there. Then of course the nano came along with it's dreamy solid state self and I was like "finally!" except then I figured I wasn't really in a good place for listening to music what ( Read more... ) -
missing person
I'm feeling unsettled and heeby jeeby. We stopped at the local market today and they have fliers up about their employee, Asha, who is reported missing. She's a really sweet woman and my favorite person there. I feel a little bonded with her as I talked to her about her name when I was pregnant last year and working on girl names (Asha is a ( Read more... )
