Cafe Victoria

Reading: Finally finished “Fly Away Home” by Jennifer Weiner. I really liked the ending. Before I find a new book, I want to pick up the matching nightstand that goes with our IKEA dresser. Look out IKEA, here we come
Watching: Sam play all over the house. He loves playing in the kitchen.
Sam update: Sam is pulling himself up. Oh, and he is totally banging everything together…we might have a drummer on our hands.
Thankful for: my health. I need to find a better way to take care of my back. Sam will only get heaver.
Looking forward to: my birthday and our annual Superbowl party.

Reading: Still reading “Fly Away Home” by Jennifer Weiner. Been spending more time writing before going to bed.
Watching: “The Good Wife” and “Glee”, love it!
Sam update: Sam is crawling!! I just realized it has been over a month since I updated. The best part is when I pick him up at day care, he sees me and crawls right to me!
Thankful for: my job at Cañada College, hands down! It gives me the opportunity to do so much else in my life.
Looking forward to: Christmas decorations, Christmas lights, and Holiday parties

Reading: “Fly Away Home” by Jennifer Weiner
Watching: World Series Baby! Go S.F. Giants!
Sam update: (new category) Sam is right there on the crawling. Any day and he is going to take off. I am appreciating every day where he just sits there and plays. He loves to bang things to make different sounds.
Thankful for: living and working in the same city
Looking forward to: Maui! A well earned vacation with my husband. I’ve learned to always make sure you book a vacation, even if you have to do it months in advance. When you are working on a college campus, you need a week off in the middle of each semester. Makes us all wish they had a “fall” break, similar to “Spring break”.

Reading: Whole Living and Parent Magazine.
Watching: Go S.F. Giants!! As of today, they are still in 1st place. Loving that “America’s Next Top Model” is back.
Thankful for: My baby Sam’s smiling face.
Looking forward to: First day at my new job. It’s been a while since I’ve had a first day on the job. For some it comes often, for others once in a great while.

Reading: Finished-“Best Friends Forever” by Jennifer Weiner. Great summer read. Next buy will probably be her new book. Going to see if I can get it used.
Watching: Master Chef…not much else on t.v. right now.
Thankful for: Last weekend’s spontaneous night away in Half Moon Bay thanks to Missy and Rob stepping up to baby sit!
Looking forward to: Melissa Ethridge Concert tonight with my sister. Yay! Live music!!

Reading: “Best Friends Forever” by Jennifer Weiner (Almost done, really enjoying it)
Watching: Sam playing with his toes.
Thankful for: The chance to live in Larkspur and the great weather we are having.
Looking forward to: Our friends Grant and Virgina’s weekend wedding in Seattle!

Reading: “Best Friends Forever” by Jennifer Weiner
Watching: Giants Games and the new season of “So you think you can dance” (for the all-star dancers)
Thankful for: Being able to stay in touch with Friends and Family so regularly through Facebook
Looking forward to: three day weekends this summer

Reading: The Daily Word
Watching: “Glee”
Thankful for: All the amazing help my sister, mom and dad have given us
Looking forward to: Any time Sam is “talking to  himself”

Reading: Slowing, Meg Whitman (running for the California Republican Governor nomination) book “The Power of Many”, it is not that easy to read and take care of Sam as I thought. My magizines have been getting more attention-Real Simple, Oprah and Body and Soul.
Watching: Time fly by. 6 weeks left of my maternity leave.
Thankful for: Baby Sam’s smiles and laugh.
Looking forward to: weekend hikes. Come on spring warm weather, stay with us!

Reading: Went back to Dan Brown, then saw Meg Whitman (running for the California Republican Governor nomination) book at Borders called “The Power of Many”. So far so good.
Watching: Sam discover shapes and sounds.
Thankful: For living in walking distance to restaurants, a Starbucks, and the San Fransisco Bay.
Looking forward to: Easter Sunday “Meet Sam” family lunch and anytime I can catch up on some sleep
