Daily fitness routine

Nearly every day I run through Howarth Park and then around Spring Lake (shown at right). Some days I bike, some days I walk instead, and some days — like yesterday — I forgo the parks completely in favor of our yoga class.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

VIDEO: Wedding Reception

“You just want to get me trashed!”



Wedding Reception on Vimeo

I’ve posted a clip from our wedding reception in July of 2005. Watch David feed me vodka and rum infused fruit, with bridesmaid Kate-Robin, best man Gavin, and maid-of-honor Laura. Yes, a whole minute and twenty seconds devoted to our kick-ass and oh-so-strong punch! (And, yes, after this clip, more alcohol consumption, much dancing, and even more hilarity ensued!)

Golden Gate Park

Christana and I stumbled upon the Golden Gate Park Botanical Gardens on our excursion south on Tuesday!

(The museums are free on the first Tuesday of each month. We also hit the Asian Art and de Young Museums!)

The gardens were beautiful–such species diversity and what a pleasant surprise! We walked and talked and took photos and enjoyed seeing giant tree ferns, flowering bushes, sweet smelling trees, ancient agave plants, and gigantic flowers the size of a hat!

I was pleasantly surprised by some of the plants that can grow here in California and even wrote down the names of several species to add to my when-I-have-a-garden wish list. (Yes, ever the botanist.)

We had a lovely afternoon.

VERY short hair

David (!) cut my hair super short over the weekend.

It’s so short in the front and even shorter in the back.

I LOVE IT!

In fact, I love it so much that I am planning on keeping it this short for a while.

Of course, I also love the idea of not having to pay for my haircuts. (Over the course of several years, that’s some serious money saved.)

Thank you for the trim, David!
