Sweet Blog o' Mine

Weekend Roundup

Pizza, wine and laughs, biking on the West Side bike path, still taunted by the puppy, Num Pang deliciousness, Whisk & Ladle, quality couch time, slow cooker prep, new cell phone ring, lazy lazy Sunday, possible trip/escape planning.

And clearly not feeling much like blogging.  Sorry.

Mysteries of Life

- Why is the sky blue?
- What is the meaning of life?
- Where the hell did this bruise on my knee come from?

More Puppy Love

Please Take Me Home!

This guy was trying really hard to get me to take him home on Sunday. Sigh.

Puppies for Sale!

Puppies!

It is pure torture to come home and see this on the bulletin board in my mailroom.

It Was Bound to Happen

since I made it through most of the winter with no major ailments -- I've got a touch of the plague.  Blech.  I'm armed with the proper supplies and leftover soba in broth from Soba-ya, so I should be set.

The Cure

It's time!  Remember the way back before pictures?  Well, there has definitely been progress since then and am making more, albeit very very slowly.  I promise to post some updates.

Cozy

Can't I work from my bed today?  Please?  I'm so warm and comfy and it sounds very windy outside.  Oh, and please bring me breakfast in bed.  I like one sugar in my coffee (although skim lattes are even better). Thank you.

Spring Ahead

Last Wednesday, I took a train down to DC with my big, puffy down coat.  By Saturday, when I left, it was close to 70 degrees, and I had to lug that big, puffy down coat with me.  The warmth felt magnificent and made me realize how much I've been yearning for spring -- for outdoor runs and bike rides, long walks, lighter evenings, and more energy.  The daffodils have started to appear, which is always a good sign, but spring can't come soon enough for me.

Looking Back

Over the weekend I did some looking back at the archives of my blog.  I've been blogging regularly since 2003, and I have to say that it's fascinating (at least to me) to have an electronic record of that time.  Granted, it's only a limited sliver of my life, but it really does bring back all kinds of memories.  I'm sort of a fan of my very first post, back in 2002:  "So here goes -- it's the first posting on my new weblog. Tune in and see what happens . . ."
