Baby wake up call at 5:45AM. No likey :( She had been doing so well sleeping in until 7AM. I guess the grow cycle is over & so is the sleep!

Today: grocery store, doctors appointment, finding out about Weight Watchers new plan, getting mentally ready to go back to work tomorrow...

Feeing kinda guilty but sending H to daycare tomorrow because 4 days in a row, mostly inside, with a 20 month old brought me to a bad place.

I lost a dear friend suddenly less than a year ago & today is his birthday. He would have been 44. I miss you Ben. Today I celebrate you!

Wizard of Oz, hot tea, rain, Hazel and me cuddling on the couch = heaven

A sickness is upon me. At least it waited until after Thanksgiving and I was still able to catch up with my good friend Debbie!

Uh oh, feeling sick. Don't want to miss my Debbie day. Gonna push through and at least have breakfast, maybe skip the horse races today :(

Happy Thanksgiving! I am grateful for my family, friends, and job today and every day! Hope you all have a wonderful and fulfilling day!

Today: Pick up pies at Bakesale Betty, Burlesque at the Cerrito, try to stay warm walking around El Cerrito sans car, brew at the Circus Pub

Today is massage & movie day! Breakfast at La Note, 90 min massage with Kelli, BART over to Walnut Creek, hang at Va de Vi/shop, then movie!

Went to SadieDey's Cafe for the first time and Hazel had a blast with her cousins! I'll have to do that again on another rainy day with her!

Celebrate the National Day of Blogging for Real Education Reform today! http://ping.fm/eCj8L

Lawrence just called Zoomer (his cherished favorite cat) Hazel. It really caught both of us off guard and made me totally laught out loud!

Fire, Arizmendi pizza, rain, dirty martini = a start of a vacation week with play dates, massage, movies, friends, fun, food, drinks - Yeah!

JOIN US FOR A PINT! Reunion Band Reunion at the Kensington Pub, Wed, 11/24th, 6:30pm. All friends, family, etc. welcome. Spread the word!

I just saw a crazy man riding a bicycle Northbound 880 on the shoulder. I felt like I should have called the highway patrol but I didn't.

A few more days of work left and then I have all next week off from work! Set up a massage for Tuesday with Kelli, now what else? Movies...

SO happy to have some Cole's Mexican Toddy cold brew in the fridge for a warm day like today. Gotta get out there - the sun is calling me!

Uh oh! Hazel just puked her morning milk all over herself, me, and her room. I hope this is a quick stomach thing that Lawrence and I skip.

Termite dude is here again. We have Western Subterranean Termites all right. Not in our unit but somewhere near the premises under ground.

I know I am a big baby about this but I worked Mon, usually a day off for me, now it is Wed & it feels like Thurs-this week is butt-kickin'!

Power is back. Shorter weekend than normal because I have to go to work tomorrow. Normally I have Mondays off. Hazel & I enjoying the fire!

Damn! We lost our power. At least I could still take a hot shower but can I get my car out of our garage or are we stuck? Rainy stroll?

Hazel was up a few times in the night after delaying her bedtime for a half hour to accommodate the time change. Final wake up at 5:45AM :(

Time change tonight. I have a feeling that Hazel will be going to bed at her usual time but waking up at the old time, now an hour earlier.

Sad for my city again tonight. Was hoping for a mature response but it was not to be! Love Iakland and will help in it's healing tomorrow.

Just saw a shitload of cops on the corner of Broadway and 10th from the free B shuttle.

Ahhh an extra hour of down time this weekend. If Hazel will allow, it will be face time with the pillow. Don't forget to fall back Saturday!

Listening to a podcast with DSC's President and Founder Eric Schaps on Developmental Science and Learning: http://bit.ly/9dg6pX

Oaktown peeps: This Friday 11/5, former BART police officer Johannes Mehserle is scheduled to be sentenced in LA County Superior Court.

So much to look forward to! The election results, tonight at Hanger One, Giants parade tomorrow, looking for more termites in my living room

Found 3 more termites on the carpet of our 4th floor living room this morning! YUCK! Mailed the live bugs to our Termite guy today in a bag.

Oh yeah baby! I screamed so loud I scared Hazel. Her word of the day (appropriate) is walk! Giants in TX - believe it.

What a game last night! Let's do it again tonight! Go Giants!
