doublin' up

so - the scale says I"m continuing to gain weight. (sigh) Now I realize - gaining 5-6 pounds at a 33" waist vs. 2006's 38" waist is different. (as my trainer admonished me for using the "f" word (fat)) but - I think I'm going to break out the point calculator and go back on the Weight Watchers routine for a little while. Just as a refresher - and I need to reaffirm the place of the gym in my life. I've been making it there 2 or 3 days a week rather than my normal 4 or 5 for the last month or so. I'm not sounding any alarms - I just now how I feel about myself if I gain any substantial amount of weight back. I fought really hard to lose those inches and pounds. Time to double up and keep them off.

SFMOMA thrills!

Today - as a continuation of the "All About David's Birthday Weekend" we went (by his request) to see the Martin Puryear exhibit at SF MOMA. His work as dazzling - and is a sparkling debut for the museum's 5th floor gallery (as they continue to build their rooftop sculpture garden on the same floor). We also did a docent led tour on the topic of "women as art objects" with surprise guest PDX Lj'r bobalouche. A tremendous day at MOMA - the collection and exhibits there always leave me truly inspired. Puryears use of different woods - and his way of communicating were just stunning. Some pieces seemed to defy gravity! He had woven pieces that he called "brumhilda's lungs" that were just amazing. He also made these intricately laquered and woven rings - he described as pictures only without anything in the middle. David and I are now heading out to Paul and Curtis's schwindig. :)

Holy Radicchio Batman!

Prosuitto twists with goat cheese, shredded radicchio and fresh roma tomatoes

We both agreed this recipe would be lots better with spinach - and that we can safely pass on the radicchio next time. Now we're settling down to watch the movie 'TRAFFIC'.
