Swimmies!
Sunday, January 17th, 2010Rachel and I finally checked out the local swimwear boutique yesterday–she, to get something more suitable (hah!) for our frequent swimming schedule, and I to scope the possibilities for the next time I need a new suit. (And to buy great new flip-flops. And a cruise-worthy straw bag. And we both tried on hats, but [...]
New York, Day 2
Sunday, December 9th, 2007Day 2 kicked off with brunch for the whole group in the hotel restaurant. Judging from the hearty appetites and lively conversation, it seemed all had enjoyed a good night’s sleep. Over eggs and French press coffee, we got into a very interesting discussion about politics and economics–contravening the rules of polite conversation, [...]
New York, Day 1
Saturday, December 8th, 2007Our trip to New York last weekend was just about the most perfect vacation we’ve ever had.

A couple of weeks later, I answered to her belated response with a quick, “I am thinking of you, and don’t want [...]
Bookish Summit
Monday, February 5th, 2007After years of discussion, planning and almost-meetings, we madcap ladies of the Bookishdark are finally getting the much dreamt of vacation we deserve. And the best part? It is just one short month away. Well, the best part might be that it is in San Francisco. Or the best part of it may be that [...]
Bookish Vacation
Sunday, October 8th, 2006Sorry about the gap in posting, but I’ve been working a grueling 2-days-a-week schedule for nearly a month now; I’m sure you can imagine how fast that catches up to a person.
Hee hee! Okay, first I was on vacation, then I went back to work for three days, then I went out [...]
