Kind of an off-kilter week. That’s what happens during the days in-between semesters since my routine is turned on its head. Had a visit from a new puppy named Nelly. Grabbed a beer with Dany. Got Ragazza with M+M. But the highlight had to be a test drive of the new BMW i3. I’ve been tracking its development. And now that I’ve been behind the wheel, I definitely want one. Hopefully soon.
Lots of ranting this week. Catholic school fires an employee for marrying another man. Guess how I feel. iTunes Match makes fixing album art a pain. Rich and I talk about the so-called threats to bicyclists from evil evil cars. Moments later a bicyclist hits us. I bemoan our college student neighbors who just got a Ferrari FF. And I critique the state of retail. Fun for the whole family.
New Year and all that. Spent a lot of time with Matt and Miguel. Rich entertained us with the story of how he realized he was falling for me—so romantic. Right. We also took a jaunt down to Monterey. And, as required, plenty of cute cat shots.
Christmas Week. It was just the two of us plus the cats again this year. Because we refuse to travel at this time of the year. So a quiet, relaxed holiday. Just the way we like it.
Final week of the Fall semester. Guess it’s time to get started with holiday stuffs. And fight a cold. Bleh. Dinners with Matt & Miguel, and Jessie & Justin. Plus surprise, same-day delivery from Amazon.
Big week. Our anniversary. 26 years. Hard to comprehend. Semester wrap up and commencement. Then a mini crisis involving a cut finger and my OCD husband.
Oddly cold week for California but great for food. Our pals Jessie and Justin got married. Invited us to a small celebration at Flour + Water on Monday. Lovely. Lots of cats during the week. Then we got takeout from Ragazza. Yum. Rich wanted the tree up. Lights were trouble so we sprang for a new, pre-lit one. Even though I’ve been grumpy, I’ve got to admit he did a great job.
It’s Thanksgiving week. Shari came up from LA. The guys came over. And we had way too much food. Rich regaled all with some amusing stories, including his plan to become a big drunk in 2014.
Almost a full week behind on my edits and uploads. Opps. Lots of cute cat shots, me bitching and Thanksgiving prep.
Is it a holiday if you have to work? Not in my book. In other news, we got the 3-series back. Feels so good after too many days with the Chevy refrigerator. And picked up wine from my friend Kent in Santa Rosa.
