Happy Halloween! Had such a busy weekend that it feels like it already happened yet here it is today! Stay safe everyone. Time change coming

Happy 40th Birthday to my little sister!

It is some rediculously gorgeous weather!

Dog tired!

Protests, school closures, and earthquakes. Hope tonight a bit calmer...

That jolted me awake! http://ping.fm/djBJE

Oakland school closures passed 5 to 2.

Too many important things to watch tonight: Oakland Unified School District board meeting on school closures and OccupyOakland protest...

iPhone fail! I went to turn it on for my GPS tracking using Runkeeper and it was DEAD. It didn't do anything but sit in my pocket today. WTF

Listening to helicopters over head and watching the Oakland protest on TV. Hope it stays peaceful.

Today is not my favorite day. Not my worst day but FAR from the best day ever.

Just completed four loads of laundry. Hazel is down for a nap. Next up, a trip to Costco. Fun times! I know you are super jealous! :)

The Arrowsmith family is heading to the Beach today! Fun in the sun and sand. Gotta take advantage of this sunny weather. Hazel can't wait!

My new ringtone: Super Bass by Nicki Minaj http://ping.fm/OGWfN LOVE it!

Another Earthquake. SO loud! http://ping.fm/nE52s

Dropped Hazel off at her new preschool table and she had a big smile on her face. I think she likes being with the big kids! What a relief!!

Roasted carotts want to come to the party in my tummy=so yummy, so yummy http://ping.fm/bJmH5

We made Teacher Chao cry when we gave her our thank you gift. Next thing you know all of us were crying. Transitions are difficult but good.

Hazel is moving up & leaving Teacher Chow today. I am so sad for her! She loves her preschool teacher. I am sure she'll love the older kids.

Daddy is at work. H and I are stranded at home with no car but the sis and nieces are rolling to Oakland today! Hazel happy :)

Got my 1st CamelBak to carry water on my long runs-Flashflo/waist. Getting ready for the Oakland half marathon! Next I guess I should get Gu

I decided to watch the Oakland USD Board Meeting on cable channel 27 instead in the comfort of my livingroom. Video stinks but audio is good

Oakland school board meeting tonight to talk about school closures. To go or not to go? That is the question! It will be long and emotional.

The meeting tonight at Lakeview was much more difficult than I anticipated. School closures are hard, even if it's right, it's still sad :(

Lakeview school closure meeting tonight. Where will Hazel's new designated Elementary school be: Crocker Highlands or Cleveland? Can't wait!

Make no mistake, jumping in a jumpy house at 40-somethin is a GOOD workout! Thank you Maia for turning 5, I needed that. SO much fun for all

Had a great day yesterday catching up w/ Jenn W., Erik Z. & Marisa. Even saw Peter Brunn in EC. Today is Maia's birthday party-H can't wait!

Phew! All is well!!! My boobies are all clear. That wasn't much fun.

I have a follow-up mammogram tomorrow morning. Feeling a little anxious. :(

Watching Ken Burns Prohibition episode 1 recorded last night & within the 1st 5 min. a visual from Oakland's Jack London Square: Heinholds!

It was so nice to have a Monday morning sans the 7AM conference call. Ahhhh, everyone got to sleep in a bit. Great way to start the week! ;)

A rare night home alone w/ hubby at a poker game. Wish we were watching Ken Burns's Prohibition but I'll settle on a Hanger Rye Gin n' tonic

I am going to keep an eye on this! Lakeview Elem. is on the closure list: http://ping.fm/v46cZ
