Throwback Thursday: a slice of life in 1985
This week’s photo isn’t the best in terms of composition (you can’t even see my face), but I love that it gives you a glimpse into my two-year-old life, and triggered a lot of fun memories for me. I remember that carpet, and that the house got flooded and it had to be dried with…

Wildlife Wednesday: What are these ducks?
So this photo is from a couple of weeks ago when I went out for an afternoon at the lake with some friends. I’ve been encountering plenty of California wildlife that isn’t quite like the stuff I’ve seen other places, so I snapped this picture and saved it to blog about once I’d figured out…

Tuesday Zoosday: more from Saturday at the Safari Park
As I mentioned in my post from Saturday, I went to the Safari Park with friends that day, and I’ve got a few random photos to share. Mostly I noticed that they moved the zebra herd into a new (much easier to see) exhibit, and that the baby animals I saw last time I visited…

Monday and I have food in the house again.
So, yesterday I watched the Twelfth Doctor reveal and then went about my day, which mostly consisted of running errands because I was out of EVERYTHING. Seriously. When I told a friend that, and got back: “Oh, so you’re living on bread and water?” I said, “Nope, I’m out of bread.” And that’s just what…

Thoughts on the Twelfth Doctor
I kept the title basic enough, but you should know this post has SPOILERS, sweetie. So. Peter Capaldi is going to be the new Doctor. I think most of the world collectively said, “Who??” when they made the announcement, but he looked really familiar and it didn’t take me long to find out why. Peter Capaldi…

BEDA day 3: Saturday Caturday with the “invisible tigers” at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park
Well, today got away from me but it’s still before midnight so this counts! Today I went to the SD Safari Park with some friends from Orange County who came down for the day. The thing about the Safari Park is that I go on a fairly regular basis, so I notice when things change.…

BEDA Day 2: California Friday
Day TWO! Friday is going to be California Friday this month where I tell you about something local that I’ve done recently. When my folks were here last month, my dad and I visited Old Town. I’ve been there a few times (my tea shop is there), but I always enjoy it, and usually…

BEDA Day 1: Throwback Thursday
Well, it’s August 1st, and I’m going to try something a little different. There are going to be THEMES for different days of the week. Think you can handle it? Thursday is going to be Throwback Thursday (you’re welcome, Internet) and you’ll get whatever old photos (and maybe associated memories) I can dig up. This…

Day 29, and determined not to miss another post
This was supposed to be a nice post about the fantastic weekend J and I had in Monterey and San Francisco (sea otters! seafood! aquarium! Golden Gate Bridge! redwoods!) but we got in late last night and I want to show you pictures (which are still sitting on the camera, untouched), so you’ll have to…

Taste of Hillcrest
Last Saturday, J and I set out to explore a new-to-us (but within walking distance of our house) part of San Diego. Namely, we got tickets to the Taste of Hillcrest event, with over fifty vendors (mostly area restaurants) offering bite-size portions of their food along a walking route of a couple of miles. The…
