Cipralex in Action
This past week was a rather busy one and thus I did not write too much. Yesterday in particular was not a great day from the beginning , but gave me a bit of a jolt to recognize that after about seven weeks on Cipralex, it does seem to be working. 1. Life dramas –…

Oddities in the Desert
[shashin type=”photo” id=”7459″ size=”medium” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] It’s been a very strange year in the desert with the weather and shakings of the earth. It really makes me wonder what is going on in the environment and if perhaps the true end times are near (if you believe in that kind of thing). For the…

On a Happier Note…
Now that I’ve gone down the scary dark road, I’m trying to return to the lighter ways…. Last night, a friend and I went to dinner and our second Andrea Bocelli concert. It was a really lovely night out and just what I needed in terms of conversation and activity. The concert was just okay.…

Vine Mixer: Old World vs New Zealand
Another Vine Mixer was not to be missed! This time the theme was Old World food – France, Spain, Italy and Wales – versus New Zealand wines. The food was definitely much more to my liking, though the wines did not quite live up to their fame. I’ve had a lot more pleasant wines from…

Spanish Night Winnings!
A while back, P and I went to a Korean restaurant in the Cristal Salam Hotel after getting massages. It is a new Korean restaurant and, of course, I wanted to try it out. It is good, perhaps the best in the city at the moment, but still not the real deal. It’s close, though.…

Container Gardening Update
Wow, it has been way too long since I last updated about my little garden this year. It has been a bit of a slow start this year due to the rather irregular weather with sandstorms, fog, rain and whatnot. Usually, the warm weather is starting in full force at this point causing my tomatoes,…

Wine and Tapas
Some new friends of ours have been talking about this wine pairing event for a few months. It has sounded fun and interesting, plus oh so posh, to do, so when the next one came up, I was totally in! So, a small group of us from the ZOO went together and had a really…

Negative Motivation
First, sorry for the font changes. I wanted to change it, but can’t seem to find one yet that quite fits…. So, there may be still more changes until I find it. 🙂 This week has been…both good and bad. I had yet another run-in with management people and seem to just be sealing my…

Why I Never Leave Home Alone…
Lately I’ve been a bit bored running on the treadmill. I’ve started doing the random incline, which makes it a bit more challenging, but overall I’m getting a little tired of the walls of our gym. Since I’m too cheap at the moment to pay for a gym membership elsewhere, I thought I would see…
