Cleaning and Catching Up
This week has been all about cleaning up the house (like dusting the bookshelves in the corner that never get any attention) and catching up with friends. Now that I’m 12 days away from my due date I’m not supposed to travel too far from home.
On Tuesday morning, I met up with Elaine. She was brave enough to meet me in the city by driving to Millbrae BART Station (from Sunnyvale) and then taking BART to Powell Station where I found her. We had a snack and some coffee while we chatted before I had to go to my doctor’s appointment. It’s so nice to have an old friend around. We’ve known each other since 2002 and we both got married the same year. Wow, that was 10 years ago! Happy 10th Friendship Anniversary, Elaine!! 🙂 Thanks for coming all the way up to see me!!!
On Wednesday, I drove across the bridge to Oakland. I stopped at Target to buy some cleaning supplies and then Babies R Us to return some duplicate gifts that I received. Then it was off to Genova Deli where I met up with Teresa and Steph for lunch. It was like our usual Thursday lunch except it was a Wednesday and Nicole and Patty were too sick to come out that day. Although we only hung out for about 40 minutes it was nice to just hang out with friends again. I miss them.
I also stopped at the local children’s store next to the deli. Turns out they have used clothes for sale in the back. I bought Kumquat a little 3-month outfit: a cute Old Navy white knitted sweater for $8 and a pair of Old Navy jeans for $6. They also buy your used clothes for 50% of what they think they can sell your items for in the store. Good to know for later when it’s time to purge again.
Later that afternoon, I got a manicure and pedicure at the place down the street from home. Let’s just say it was time to clean up my fingers and toes too. I had always wanted to take advantage of mid-day/mid-week specials and I totally did because I finally could!
Last night, Patty texted me and we also got caught up on things. I love iMessage! Free text messaging is always a good thing.
This morning I also got a photo from Steph. It was a photo of her Greasy Food Friday breakfast. For as long as I can remember, the two of us have been going to the cafeteria on Fridays to get a tasty breakfast like a pancake and sausage patty or an egg sandwich with bacon. Yum. She sent me a photo last Friday and was right on time this morning too! I think I’m going to have to keep Friday mornings sacred for her. I ended up making an egg sandwich with ham today.
OK. This was a random post. Just thought I’d keep you all updated on my day-to-day activities while Kumquat is still cookin’. Jesse has the day off today so I’ve have some company today. Yay! Have a nice Friday!

Friday, April 6, 2012Ah yes, that’s right. Of course that would involve convincing her to download the app. Nice plug for Voxer though.
