Year: 2007

August is my least favorite month. It’s so hot and there are no holidays. I’ve been reduced to eating ice cream sandwiches and taking pictures of the dog.

I’m tempted to move my postings over to Facebook… but then again. I might not. I know Doris would be sad. Tho for those of you who aren’t on facebook, it’s quite fun.

I know Frank will like this post…

$300 increase in annual car insurance
$60 for annual parking permit
$20 in DMV forms to get parking permit
$250 for moving van
$500 in miscellaneous one time costs – shelves, router, etc.
$100 this week in gas.

not to mention
$400 increase in rent
long commute time.

Ha. I haven’t had much chance to explore the city yet. I think commuting by caltrain will be a bunch funner. 🙂 This weekend I’m off doing some races and rides, and next week is still unpacking and settling in. Sorry for the delays on the photos. I know some folks are interested. But. yeah. lame.

The internet was down all day today. So the kids were at school and we couldn’t do anything, we are so addicted to the internet. Lazed around like fat pigs when suddenly we said, hey! let’s go for a walk! So that is what we did, headed to the woods and took the doggie for a few dips in the creek.

I dropped my mother off at the airport this afternoon where she took a flight to Boston to start her new job tomorrow. Hopefully, she made it to her hotel room and is taking a nice long bath and watching some good TV and eating good takeout. We had a nice time together and now that we are on the same coast, hopefully we will see more of each other.

 

My old roomies and JT took me out to eat tonight. Now, I’m not religious or anything, but they are Christian. It’s never been an issue, but tonight I felt really touched. JT made a prayer before eating, and he prayed for God to watch over me in SF. It was really nice. Now usually, I don’t join in prayer, simply because I would just be some faker, but i couldn’t help saying, “Amen” tonight. Hrm.. isn’t that a bit self serving tho?

JT is off to taiwan tomorrow for a cultural exchange. Good luck and have fun out there man….

Well. It’s so open ended.

1. I like to be early for appointments. It usually has to be at least 10 minutes early. I sit in parking lots a lot.
2. I prefer salty over sweet. Doritos over ice cream any day.
3. I am a sucker for European comfort shoes even though they are totally ugly and geeky.
4. I have a secret fantasy of being single and living in NYC and staying out very late and going to parties and being some sort of artist.
5. I loved college and I hated graduate school.
6. I do one cartwheel every six months to prove I’ve still got it.
7. When I’m old, I’m buying a sports car and will drive it very slowly.
8. I want to get a bird that talks and sits on my shoulder, but I don’t think I can bear to take care of another thing in the house.

I’m tagging only Donald, I know, I’m a party pooper.

We had to fire a therapist today. She didn’t have much experience working with Rett girls and it was pretty apparent she was in over her head. I was going to do the chicken thing and call her office tomorrow and talk to the admin, but then I thought it wasn’t very nice not to have a chance to say good-bye to Edda. So at the end of the session today, I told her that we’d found someone with more experience and that I appreciated her hard work during the summer and she actually seemed kind of relieved. Whew.

Look at this beautiful outfit that my mom bought for Edda. (The graffiti at the park is getting more colorful, the orange dot looks almost fake, like a film error.)
