Last night I drove 80 miles south to have dinner with my college friends and to celebrate my friend Gloria’s birthday. Everyone is scattered and living all over Southern California, so the good half way point for everyone was the PF Chang’s restaurant in Carlsbad. (I was just there shopping last week). The drive wasn’t […]
The day started out really foggy. This was how the road looked on my way to meet my friends before the race. I stayed warm before the race wearing this cool sweater from Lululemon (clearance) that has a hole for my ponytail. The hoody stayed in place and kept my head warm. My friends Gaby and […]
Happy Super Bowl Sunday! I am up early today to run at the beach. Oh yes, I am running under the sun, bright and early today at a 10K (hmmm, that rhymes). Today’s forecast calls for mid 70s. This is my second year running at the Redondo Beach Super Bowl Sunday 10K. I love the […]
To keep my workout from being boring, I am always looking for new cardio routines. I’ll try them at the gym and will repeat the ones I love. Currently,I have about four HIIT workouts that I’ve printed and keep in my gym bag. I found a few workouts from a recent Shape magazine, the one where […]
A few weeks ago, I cleaned out a ton of boxes in the garage. I’m trying to sort everything out, clean house and make a dent in organizing all the stuff I’ve kept all these years. I kept my bib from my first half marathon race in Las Vegas. Ever since I found it, I […]

Eleanor & Park Synopsis: Two misfits. One extraordinary love. Set over the course of one school year, this is the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds—smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. Wow, I loved, loved this book. This is now in my top […]
Thank you everyone for your well wishes about my mom. She was in good spirit when I visited today and is looking forward to getting out of the hospital. I spent most of my weekend spending time with my mom but once visitor hours were over, I was able to enjoy some sushi with Chris. […]

Cu-cu-curry House we went. Curry House is a Japanese-style Curry and Spaghetti Restaurant. They are known for their great tasting curries and huge serving entrees. I’ve never seen so many variety of curries. You can choose between beef, vegetable, chicken and seafood curries. We haven’t been to this restaurant for a long time (more than […]
Here’s what we have been up to lately….. We try to spend a few hours over the weekend to visit my sister, brothers and nephew. We are all grieving my mom’s death differently but for me, spending time with family as much as I can feels good. My mom used to live with my sister, […]
We went to a pumpkin patch and Hawke loved banging on the pumpkins and he really enjoyed being surrounded by pumpkins. Our Fall project life pages looks so festive. This is our first time visiting an actual working pumpkin farm and it was really neat to see it all. We want to visit during […]
Another fun weekend in the books. What a great way to start the month of April. Chris’s bachelor party was this weekend so I stayed busy by planning some fun activities with my girlfriends. On Saturday, bright and early, we met at 6:30 am to go hiking at Peters Canyon. Same hiking trail that Chris […]
I am going to continue doing Project Life this year. I jumped right in mid summer last year and have completed plenty of layouts/pages for 2013. I wasn’t as consistent as I would have liked, but I did complete the big moments and the holidays. I enjoy the process a lot and love the finished […]
