Baby Panda. That is all.
Okay, so as a reward for (finally) having a functional (and neatly organized) closet again, I got myself up earlyish today and went to the San Diego Zoo during the morning BABY PANDA viewing. I’ll just leave this here… I would say that I could just quit the internet for today… but I really ought…

Fog at Cape Hatteras: a weekend at the North Carolina Outer Banks
I moved to North Carolina when I was fourteen. I have spent countless weekends in the North Carolina mountains (and up into Virginia and over into Tennessee), be it for day trips or camping weekends or summer vacations, but until I was in my twenties, I had never been to the Outer Banks. In fact,…

Things for which my sister is too tall.

Halloween Kitties and other shenanigans
Wow, it’s been a long time since I last posted. No internet in our new residence has posed more of a restriction than I thought. So here’s the mini-update: J and I rented a place in San Diego– YAY! We went to Disneyland for 3 days for my birthday weekend (first time he’s spent my…

September rains
Well, I’m sitting in a coffee shop to access wifi and generally realizing that during moves I drink way too much coffee and tea and whatever else I get at coffee shops. Probably not great, but wifi is awfully helpful. We got places to stay lined up in California (including four nights in Anaheim!!) until…
