Thor & I are going to New York tomorrow. I have never been to New York. Seriously.
Okay, I was there once, but I was three and all I remember was looking out at the Statue of Liberty with my Dad and some old guy next to us saying “I’ve lived here all my life and […]

This morning Quinn read his first word. For real. (Well, okay, actually he read the word “DOG” first but I didn’t get my camera out in time. So for posterity we’ll just say “CAT” […]

The Hyatt Omelet Surprise. Smothered in extra special Velveeta. Just what a girl with a hangover wants first thing in the morning.
More on Day Two of BlogHer to come… Must get sleep. NOW.
p.s. Was SO good to see Quinn. More on that later too…

During cocktail hour around the pool Ani & I ventured into the hotel bar for some margaritas. We met a very sweet (and very cute) pit crew member from Canada who was in town for the Grand Prix taking place in downtown San Jose. (Yes, Thor, all those big race car transport trucks we saw […]

Yay. After a less than insipiring start to my day things vastly improved.
A great keynote from Caterina Fake and Meg Hourihan.
Heather Champ’s session on digital photography was interesting and educational. Loved the tip about selective sharpening of photos.
Then sat poolside with some of the girls. Aside from having to settle for white wine rather than […]

Why did I decide to go to the Blog in a Box session this morning? Perhaps for the same reasons I took beginner level dance classes semester after semester in college.
I’m in a breakout session about Wordpress blogs. Right now the others in the group are learning how to link their text and open the […]

When I come home from a trip I love nothing more than returning to a clean house. It makes me exceedingly happy. For this reason I always make a point of leaving my house clean when going away. This time I did not come home to a clean house. I did not come home to […]

Thor & I made an amusing observation on our two days of driving up to the Northwest.
On previous road trips we’ve been sure to have plenty of on-board entertainment: Books on cd (guilty pleasure indulgent stuff usually like “Davinci Code”, “Ender’s Game” and this time “A Scanner Darkly”); episodes of “This American Life” on cd; […]

I’ve been a slacker with writing the past couple of weeks. But I blame it on the fact that we’re closing in on finishing two client projects(that we’re really excited about, btw) which means serious crunch time; we threw our Valleyschwag Hoedown party last night (more pix will be posted by many) with over 300 […]

A series of conversations with Quinn this morning that left me, well, speechless….
Quinn: If Daddy, you and me die who will live in our house?
Me: ??!!
Q: Because somebody has to live in our house, huh, Mommy?
………………………………………….
Quinn: When I grow up I be a daddy, huh, Mommy?
Me: If you have a child you will be.
Q: Well, […]
