Best sleep in weeks! 4 loads of laundry done. Ready to ring in 2012 early on the British timeline at Commonwealth in Oakland and home early!

Woke up feeling pretty run down & electrified. Looking for a calm, fun, relaxing day at my sisters w/ good friends/family & lots o' laughter

Just saw a gnarly moped pile up on the corner of University and Shattuck. A bunch of teenage girls. :(

The combination of Google Maps Get Directions by Public Transit and the Next Bus mobile iPhone app has changed my life. Buses demystified!

A rare day that I have my car all to myself with no work, Hazel in preschool, and Lawrence working at someone's house on a side project.

I have to say that riding the bus feels like a luxury to me but I could do without the funky smell of fellow riders - LOVE being a passenger

Merry Christmas!

Kids are in bed! Santa time: http://ping.fm/tl8I5

Anyone in the Bay Area have a Pack-n-play I can borrow for December 30th and 31st? I have sheets! Thanks in advance.

Thank goodness for older cousins & Grandmas! Hazel was so excited she wanted to get up at 6:45. She is usually a 7:15 girl. Now back to bed!

Mommy time is over for now but tomorrow morning we are headed to Grandma's on the train! Hazel & I can't wait! I am sure daddy can't either.

Had a fantastic evening catching up with old friends! Looking forward to another wonderful day of vacation: movie, food, friends and fun! :)

What a wonderful day! Early fabulous film, excellent lunch out, finished stocking stuffer shopping, and then finished wrapping everything :)

Watching Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas on Netflix streaming w/ Hazel. Thanks for the tip Cass-LOVE this movie! Memories of Christmas past

I go away for one night and I come home to my baby girl going pee-pee on the BIG potty all by herself. No help at all from adults! WOW!!! :)

Is ready for a day of wine tasting in Napa, a night away from the kiddo & hubby & a peaceful bus & train ride home on Sat. Vacay begins! :)

Weekend - Hazel by @SlumberlandRecs via soundcloud http://ping.fm/XeWsk

T-minus one more day in the office for me in 2011 and it will have booze involved. I got this!

I am mentally spent for the day! Only 2 more days in the office for 2011!!! Whoo Hoo!!!!!!!

Had a wonderful day honoring Raju Singh. The only thing good that comes from his untimely departure is reconnecting with long, lost friends.

Ugggg - insomnia, I hate you!

Uh oh! I think Hazel has her first ear infection. Just gave her Advil. What else would help her?

Just had the best sister to sister chat in a LONG time! Love you Cass!!!

My head is super stuffy today :(

We had a devil child among us this morning. Dropped her off at preschool & picked up a hyper angel child after work. What a day in parenting

Just wanted to let everyone know that the service for Raju will be held Monday at 11AM, Sunset View Cemetery, Colusa & Fairmount
El Cerrito

A combo of Zyrtec (Costco brand) & Mucinex DM is working for me at the moment. Hope it holds up today - at least until 2PM/my meeting's done

Uh oh scratchy throat! :( Maybe it's allergies...

ECHS has lost another great man: Raju. This can't be happening right now... :(

Hazel's pronunciation of waffle is the cutest! It sounds more like awfaa. More awfaa please mommy!

Happy December! Hope this wind dies down soon my lungs no likey! Had to take my inhaler after my run yesterday which made me all buzzy :(
