Gone Shopping
Posted on March 28, 2012 by Dan in Berkeley, family, food.Back in November, we showed you a bit of our day to day life. I was planning to just update with a relevant photo, but then I realized this how reflective it was of our life week to week. I hardly think of our life and work as anything but routine. However, recently we’ve intentionally […]

Feeling all accomplishy.
Posted on October 12, 2010 by Dan in 100 things, lists.Yeah, turns out that folding a fitted sheet is super easy. I recommend this video, if you want to learn. #51 on my list, check. *** #53 was learn more about world geography, until I changed it to learn all the world’s countries because that’s actually what I want to do. Europe and Asia – check. I’ve […]

Buffet.
Posted on October 4, 2010 by Dan in random.James is peeing more. As in, when he goes to the bathroom, more liquid is coming out. This is exciting progress! The bad news is that he’s peeing basically anywhere he damn well pleases right now. Not sure how to discourage this while encouraging the peeing. Quandry. *** I finished a book today about schools […]

Smorgasbord.
Posted on September 27, 2010 by Dan in random.This week, we had to take James to the vet because he’s having some urinary problems. Along with some other instructions, the vet sent me home to ‘monitor’ him peeing. I’m here to tell you that cats actually don’t pee that often at all. *** Today is my grandmother’s birthday. *** It’s finally hitting summer […]

Kristin is…
Posted on September 15, 2010 by Dan in lists.…a super fast speed reader. …surprisingly, almost alarmingly, careless about some things and incredibly rigid about other things. …almost nocturnal, but fighting it. …so emotional about animal cruelty that the sad ASPCA commercials are banned from our house. …a Gleek. …sometimes overly ambitious (see “100 Things, 1000 Days” list above). …happy being domestic with Dan and two […]

Right Now…
Posted on August 25, 2010 by Dan in random.…I am dreading reading the duty report for tomorrow morning because tonight it’s 80 degrees and there are no classes tomorrow. Cue hundreds of first year women wandering up to the fraternities in too tall heels and too short skirts. *heavy sigh* …I am playing four songs over and over. ‘Dynamite’ by Taio Cruz (which […]

Pixar fail?
Posted on August 3, 2010 by Dan in random.Did you see Toy Story 3? Did you like it? I saw it, and…not a fan. Even if I hadn’t seen Despicable Me a few days before (which was awesome!) it still wasn’t good. I never expected to not like a Pixar movie. My world has shifted a bit. —– Well that was her point […]

Progress Report: 8 Things Down
Posted on July 28, 2010 by Dan in 100 things, lists.A little while ago, my mom asked me how I was doing on my list. And I felt like I had been doing OK, crossing some items off completely, and making some progress on others. But when I checked to see how many days I have left, I may or may not have freaked out. […]

City Walk: Dolores Heights (#97)
Posted on July 25, 2010 by Dan in 100 things, city walks, San Francisco.This city walk is in an area that’s sort of in between a couple of different areas that we commonly visit. Before we did this walk, we’d never been to this specific neighborhood. I’m going to guess that it’s because it’s on the top of a big hill. But since I went ahead and wrote […]

A Day in the Life: Natural Disasters.
Posted on July 19, 2010 by Dan in Cal, work.So, I’m pretty sure that most of you reading this blog have no idea what I do. I think that a majority of you know that I work for UC Berkeley, maybe that I work in Student Affairs (maybe?) Some of you would get bonus points for knowing that my job title is “Resident Director” […]
