I had a wonderful visit with my mom yesterday- drove over to the desert to see her before she goes back to Minnesota for the summer. We had such a nice visit! I stopped at a market on the way and was lucky enough to find some lilacs to bring her. It's my favorite flower and it is just about... Sign in to see full entry.

I think I'm just going to go into 'read and comment only' mode...
There are so many wonderful writers here! And so many wonderful friends. I am going to just read and comment for awhile and put this blog on a sabbatical. My life is pretty much free of conflict or strife right now and I don't want to bore you with the details. This might change in about a week when... Sign in to see full entry.

We were the only wild animals around...
We never made it to the Wild Animal Park yesterday. The beaches in Orange County were just too beautiful! We rode the bikes to Laguna Beach for breakfast and then wound our way by all the Newport Beach sites, stopping along the way to sit on benches and watch boats and read. So relaxing! Later in...

Wild animals in plain view!
Today we're going to see some wild animals at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego. We're taking a vacation day before hubby starts his new job and before mine starts as well. I love those big lions and tigers... and especially the elephants! Happy Thursday everyone! Sign in to see full entry.

Getting my body back!
Do any of you tend to live in your head, rather than in your body? It's an existential question of sorts... Well, I do that at times but since I've been on this diet, I've become much more 'in my body' and it feels good. I'm six feet tall, always have had a nice shape except when I pack on a few...

4:30 am is starting to feel normal
It sounds like the middle of the night, doesn't it? Now, it feels like time to get up. I guess because I fall asleep so early in the evening my sleep schedule has changed but I just love these quiet hours in the morning! I can listen for the first birds to start chirping and can also watch the... Sign in to see full entry.

My hybrid car is teaching me how to drive it...
Sorry I've been away... so much going on and I miss you guys! My hybrid car is teaching me how to drive it. It has a MPG meter that shows the mileage the car is getting depending on how I drive it. It also has a cool little meter that shows whether the electric or gas engine is powering the wheels.... Sign in to see full entry.

Help name nanaroo's new car!!! (cool photos!)
We always name our cars... this one is like a spaceship- it glides and seems to be almost other-worldly because of how it's powered. In slow traffic or at a stop- hey, it's silent- I'm not burning any gas. What should I name it??? Does anyone know if there were any spaceships in Star Trek with a... Sign in to see full entry.

I signed the papers yesterday for the new job.... and, I got the car! It sure was a big day for me. The job starts May 8th but the fun in the car starts today. It's a Toyota Camry Hybrid- the electric part of the engine is so quiet and it has a push button start! With the Bluetooth technology, I can... Sign in to see full entry.

Final negotiations today for the job... and the CAR!!!
I went to bed early last night because today is a big day for me. I'm meeting with the new company to look over their offer letter and I want to finalize those negotiations so I can get started.
