One of the best things about being on maternity leave is having time to catch up with friends on the weekdays. 

On Thursday afternoon, my two old friends, Elaine and Elaine, rode Caltrain up from the South Bay to have coffee with me and Kumquat.  I hadn’t seen one of them since 2006!

Then on Friday, Stephanie had the day off so she took BART in from her home in Livermore to hang out with us.  We went out for brunch (and mimosas) and Stephanie also fed Kumquat her noon bottle.  Looked like they both had a nice time together.

Do I REALLY have to go back to work in August?!
