March 4: Bedside
 |
| My nightly routine: Earplugs, carmex, water bottle (no glasses of water for us -- cats tend to knock them over, which makes for an unpleasant wake up), and 3 books to choose from (not that I've read any books besides bar books recently). |
March 5: A Smile
 |
| I feel creepy taking photos of people besides E and me, and I'm self conscience of my smile so... photo of a wedding photo on my desk it is. Btw, my first day back at work was awesome minus the fact that I got a TON of work and ended up working late and not working out all week. Hence no blogposts since last Wednesday! |
March 6: 5PM
 |
| The cherry trees outside my window are blooming and look amazing. Such a pleasant thing to greet me on my first week back at work. One of my partners mentioned on Tuesday about getting me moved to the wing with my group (I'm in a different wing), but I don't want to leave my cute little office (and have everyone know my comings and goings). I always get my work done; people don't need to know what time I leave. |
March 7: Something You Wore
 |
| I decided to get a little crazy and wear both this giraffe necklace AND a leopard belt and flats. It was a safari-theme kind of day. Also, the giraffe is taken in front of a CCH binder containing federal securities laws. That's just how he rolls. |
March 8: Window
 |
On Thursday, I took the train into San Francisco to see my cousin, Kim, who was visiting from NYC. We went to an awesome restaurant/ wine bar (Marlowe). What I particularly loved about it was that it was across the street from the train station, which meant that I didn't have to brave rush hour traffic to get to dinner in the city AND I didn't have to try to find a cab in Soma (SoMa?), which looked like a rather sketchy area. At any rate, I love this picture because it has a lot going on—both the sights you can see through the window (notice how it looks like I have a bus phone cover) and the reflection of the inside of the train (my hands with a highlighter because I did work on the train and the coats in the side bin).
Side note: It is an absolute travesty that this train in SILICON VALLEY does not have free wifi. Just sayin'. |
March 9: Red
 |
| Tomatoes are red... This one is a stretch, but my lunch looked so pretty! Expect a blog post on Wednesday about this recipe. It's definitely being added to our menu rotation. |
March 10: Loud

Again with the earplugs. To be honest, there were several things I could have taken a photo of this Saturday. However, they would have been creepy. Runners up: Zumba class at my gym (seriously, they need to shut the door to the class—it echoes everywhere). Costco in general, or our dishwasher. Seriously, we have the loudest dishwasher ever. We end up having to double the tv volume if we are watching tv in the living room and/or shout at the other person if they are in the kitchen while it's running. We have a small place. So this is shocking. At any rate, I picked ear plugs for this day because I do wear earplugs every night, which I have been doing since 2005. (Don't worry. I've asked my doctor and this is fine). Erik snores sometimes, we have cats, and I'm VERY sensitive to sounds. In fact, I don't think I ever got a good night's sleep in NYC. I kept waiting to acclimate and it never happened. Fortunately, since we live in the 'burbs now, most nights are quiet and the planes from SJC don't start running until 6am (same for the commuter trains) so I sleep much better in California. Probably also has to do with the fact I upgraded to better earplugs. Seriously, these things are the best ear plugs I've tried (and believe me, over 6.5 years, I've tried a ton).

Quick announcement: I've had some computer problems over the weekend (and late last week) in addition to being slammed at work (too soon!). So, I'm a bit behind on posts. I'm hoping to remedy that tomorrow, but I didn't want you to think that I was slacking off! Expect me to be back on track with my weekly schedule if not this week then next.
