Roland Garros

After the luck we were struck down with on the RER commute to Versailles, our trust in Paris’ train system wasn’t great.  And since Laura would rather self-amputate her defective toes than miss part of a tennis match, we were out of the gate excessively early.  I think Wozniaki herself slept in longer than we did. Once caffeine and carbs were had, we were off to Roland Garros. Weee! Having been to the US Open before, I knew tennis fever was going to hit me the second we stepped into the stadium.  [Who am I… Read more >

Our first weekend back in LA

It’s so weird that we haven’t been back to LA since we left back in April.  We’ve seen several of our so cal friends since but not all of them so we decided to pop in for a quick visit. Honestly, we’ve been trying to squeeze a weekend in since this past fall, but then all this (good) stuff was happening with Kyle’s business…and then the holidays came along…and you know how it goes… But we finally got this in the calendar and what a fun time it was! Now.  As much as I adore… Read more >

For our baby boy

On Saturday, December 8th, Kyle and I were joined by some of our best friends to celebrate our little bundle of joy. In just 8 weeks, he will be here…unless some of our friends’ guesses are correct… His due date is 2/7/13, but I’m a numbers freak, so I’m hoping it’s a multiple of 5.  Unless it’s the 15th.  I have a gut feeling about January 30th, but who knows.  I bet a dollar on it though.  🙂 Our friends also tried to guess his length & weight, as well as his name. I can… Read more >

What can I say?

This weekend was just plain awesome.  I don’t know what else to say.  My sister came to visit.  My friends threw me a baby shower.  And I just felt so loved.  And fortunate.  Things are good. Thursday night was tree decorating and burrito bar. On Friday, my sister arrived!  Hooray 🙂   While she was doing the oh-so-hideous I-5 drive, I woke up early, made breakfast (the standard egg and GF bread with Earth Balance), and read.   I had a snack a little later.  Rice cakes with nut butter & dried fruit is becoming… Read more >

Adios Madrid

Our final day together in Spain was only partially spent in Madrid. To anyone considering a day trip to El Escorial – go!  It’s an easy excursion that’s interesting even if you’re not a history geek. We started at a non-Starbucks cafe (called Faborit) that actually had soy milk.  It was maybe 25 steps from the hotel lobby so we kinda felt like idiots for dismissing it the entire time.  Oops! Croissants. Cafe con soja. I was psyched to see a new city since I’d already been everywhere else we’d travelled thus far.  Plus, I… Read more >
