• "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" --Mary Oliver

  • Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs, and the little voice inside you the yells, "can't!" But you don't listen; you just push harder and then you hear the voice whisper "can" and you realize the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.

Quick, before I fall asleep.

Img_0670 I swear, I have sleeping sickness.  Or, uh, hmm, maybe I'm anemic.  That just now occurred to me.  WTF?

Tonight was FANTASTIC!  I managed to coax one of my coworkers into giving up her ticket to this year's Pink Out! which is a celebration and tasting of all wines pink.  No, it wasn't a giant White Zin tasting- it was more about the Roses which are supposedly a little more upscale. 

Img_0675 Dean and I drove down to Pier 33 to Butterfly, the restaurant where the event was being held.  They checked us in at the door and we collected our glasses and wine list.  We tried a few wines and almost immediately ran into a few of my coworkers. We stayed for a bit.  The appetizers were good but lots of seafood.  Eventually, Dean and I decided to take advantage of our babysitting and go get some dinner.  I called Aziza to see if we could get in, only to find they were closed on Tuesdays.  So we decided to do what we used to do- just drive until we found something that struck our fancy.  Sure enough, we ended up in a little place we'd never been before- Eritrean Food served family atyle and eaten with our hands.  It was a nice dinner.

Img_0676 I especially enjoyed driving home in the car an jut talking until I got too sleepy and Dean took over.  I ended up dozing off, waking as we pulled into the driveway with our two little kidlets peeping out from behind the curtains.

Dean and I had fun tonight,  You know, we've been working hard and everything, which is good and all... but this was even better because it wasn't hard work.  It was just easy and fun.  The city was beautiful tonight after a beautiful, sunny day.  And it was nice to remember how it is to be happy and have it be easy...  Tomorrow, Vi and I ride since we are starting a new tradirion of Wednesday afternoon rides.  Looking forward to that but now it is time to sleep )
