Summer Memory: 3 Years

William and I met three years ago (July 27, 2019). When we met, it was before COVID was a thing. And since then, we've experienced all aspects of the pandemic together, including being quarantined together at home on our third year anniversary yesterday. His quarantine is over, and I have ONE MORE DAY!

We had a lot of fun moments this year, too, from celebrating the holidays, drives up to Julian to drink wine and pet wolves, and of course, our summer events that I've shared here. We also got to dress up for Dinner in White (September) and for a Gala Event at Petco.

Here's to outstanding health and lots of happiness as we dance into our fourth year together.

Fall Adventures: Hound of the Baskervilles

Last weekend, we wrapped up the trio of birthday celebrations for me! We started off the evening at a great wine bar in Coronado called "Wine A Bit," where we enjoyed appetizers and Cabernet. William even tried a glass that was $35! They have a nice little area where you can sit outside, and on Saturdays, they have live music. We enjoyed the local singers who were in our age range and performing hits from the 70's and 80's. No dance floor, unfortunately! After, we walked over to the Lamb's Player Theater for the performance. The theater holds 350 people, and the performance was outstanding...90 minutes of non-stop action with 39 roles played by just 5 people. I highly recommend this experience and am hopeful we can attend Legends of the 60's in early 2023. (It was a little dark in the theater and that's why this selfie is blurry!) I was happy that the weather was cold enough to wear this wine-colored sweater dress with the cut...

Fall Thoughts: "98% of All Diets Fail"

There are lots of numbers associated with the idea of trying to change your body size or composition. The obvious numbers like the number of the scale, your waist measurement, the size of your pants or your body fat percentage. There are the numbers associated with a best guess for how much of what food you should eat, i.e. 800 grams of fruits and vegetables or 13 ounces of protein (at least for a woman of my size.) And there are numbers connected to how you move your body: how many hours you should strive for per day, how many steps you should take, how many reps you should "leave in the tank" during a weight lifting session. There are also other numbers, including "the facts." For example: 80% of Americans aren't eating the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables. 70% of Americans are overweight or obese. And, my new favorite fact: "98% of all keto diets fail," which was what Dr. Robert Cywes, the Carb Addiction Doctor, who advocates for a...

Fall Adventures: Nick and Aurora Teagarden Costume

We enjoyed a fun pre-Halloween weekend. I also shared our PINE day, and now I'll share photos of our Nick and Aurora Teagarden Halloween costumes. Although not an exact replica, I do think we captured the essence of our two favorite sleuths! William surprised me by picking up a pink lipstick called "Romantic" that I think was the perfect shade to match Aurora's lip color below. We had a great idea to set up a red table with champagne glasses and get a photo similar to their photo at the library event during Heist and Seek. However, the lighting was weird, and I think my cell phone camera was smudged, which definitely took away from the look I was hoping to achieve. Mostly, with this type of adventure, I think it's important to be open to the idea that the fun is in the planning and the photo shoot itself, even if the final image didn't work out exactly how you planned. How-To: Aurora: blue sparkly dress from A...
