There has just been too much going on around here&#8230;or I&#8217;ve just been too lazy to post.<\/p>\n<p>So after all that vacillating on whether to tweet or not, I opened my account, and as I had expected, probably 2 weeks into it, I was finished. Officially, I&#8217;m following a few friends here and there, oh and the beloved food carts of SF. But that&#8217;s the extent of my Twitter experience.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see what else has been going on&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Mads starts her weekly summer field trips with her day care this coming Friday. This time, they&#8217;re asking parents to volunteer for at least one outing &#8211; which could be a lot of fun, but I&#8217;ll let you know.<\/p>\n<p>Which brings me to a related topic &#8211; since Mads is getting on to her 3rd birthday this August (where does time go?!), I&#8217;ve reluctantly started looking into preschools. Starting slowly, I&#8217;ve only gone so far to request information &#038; admissions packages from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.internationalsf.org\/Default.asp?bhcp=1\">this school<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lelycee.org\/top_pages\/index.en.php\">this school<\/a>. These are our only two choices really &#8211; especially since she will need to learn French. Sigh&#8230;I still can&#8217;t believe my little girl is en route to preschool.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, lest I forget, we were in Carmel the weekend after Memorial Day weekend for T &#038; JC&#8217;s wedding. We drove down Friday afternoon, settled in and made our way to the rehearsal dinner <a href=\"http:\/\/www.holarestaurant.com\/\">here<\/a>. It was a fun night with decent Mexican food and a mariachi band. The ceremony itself was at the beautiful <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carmelmission.org\/mission\/baslica.html\">mission basilica<\/a>. The dinner reception was held at Il Fornaio with a hilariously narrated slide show by the bride&#8217;s brother. I skipped the post reception festivities at the beach &#8211; but S tells me it was good times.<\/p>\n<p>We packed up Sunday, grabbed brekkies at a diner and decided to stop at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Now, we had been to the temporary Academy of Sciences with her, and thinking it&#8217;s the Monterey Bay Aquarium it HAS to be at least 10x better than SF&#8217;s aquarium. Um, yeah, no. I was a bit disappointed as I felt there was much more to see at the Academy. At least we know we don&#8217;t need to go back. The stop at Ghiradelli&#8217;s for a sundae made up for it. <\/p>\n<p>And now, here we are in (mid-late) June. We had a low key birthday celebration for S &#8211; a &#8220;special&#8221; dinner for papa, as I told Mads: S&#8217; favorite lasagna, salad, birthday cake and home made strawberry ice cream. He was gifted with a bottle of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lagavulin_Single_Malt\">Lagavulin<\/a> 16 and Apple store gift cards.<\/p>\n<p>I promise I&#8217;ll try to update more often, we&#8217;ve got fun filled weeks and weekends ahead of us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I apologize for a blog-less May (and I&#8217;m well on my way to a blog-less June if I don&#8217;t step up!).
