well this morning was interesting. I remember waking up to the alarm at 530, only to roll over and see it was 6:29am a moment later. Jenkies! No meditation; no dog walk - just a mad dash for the door after a shower I could describe more as a rinse. (chortle) Kissed Dave goodbye and beat feet. But - the universe was shining on me because I got my cup of coffee (thank the universe!!) and literally was on the platform thirty seconds when the train pulled up. (whew!) so besides being a bit still asleep - I'm heading north to Thursday. YAY!
I'm having such a great week - seriously great workouts, creative projects at the office, romance and smiles the size of Texas with the beaufriend... and it was a short week! We have an action packed weekend coming up!
First is Scott Farrar's 40th Anniversary Bash - (our baby is growing up! (wipes tear away)) - with all the bearses that is sure to attract. then we're hosting a dinner party at Chez McGoldberg on Saturday night with the Pennisula Pack of the Shannons, The Gingells, Ms. Seity, and the Wienarts. I'm going to make Shannon Chicken (named after Shannon Adamson for whom I made up the recipe for several years ago) ---- boneless chicken stewed in a crockpot all day in tomatoes, mushrooms and balsalmic vinegar. It'll be my first foray into gluten-free cooking as two of our guests are gluten-intolerant. Diane is bringing a "chocalate tart thing" for dessert - and how can that be bad? It'll be good to have these folks over after all the times they've generously had us over to their home. Sunday I'll head out on my "sunday bike ride" with a Tim Learmont![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
apparentparadox approved route down to Moffit Field along the water then in on the Stevens Creek Trail to Foothill Expressway and home. I'm upping the mileage this week from 15 to 22.
and of course, Dave and I are getting ready for my Mom coming to visit next weekend. (YAY!) Dave is the first partner my Mom has wanted to meet - and her visit is a real exciting thing for me. She arrives at San Jose/Diridon on Friday the 26th on the 9am train. If we time it right - we'll do breakfast - then the "Star Trek" exhibition at the Tech Museum. Then we'll head home to let Mom hang out for a bit from her trip - and cook dinner together. A highlight of that weekend will be filming the 25th Episode of Bob's Kitchen with my Mom. (she was in episode #9 - linky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V51HzDQCcI ) Shawn Nethercutt is not only a nice friend - but a professional videographer; and he's going to come tape and film the episode so we can make it super special. I am still negotiating recipes with my Mom. She suggested "scotch eggs" - which is a hard boiled egg - wrapped in sausage and baked. I'm hoping we can perhaps pick something a bit more healthy. But - - - the visit and weekend are all about her.
anyhoo - as you can see, over the length of this note my caffeine has kicked in. (READY! OKAY!) so I best get off LJ and check my work email and get on with my day before arriving in San Francisco. Ya'll be well now!?
