Walked in fog so thick that it was like walking in a tunnel. Cool and moist with a dash of mystery. The next day dawned bright and clear with record breaking highs for March. Both were wonderful experiences—I am grateful to have beach walks as an after work option.


Engaged in lively conversations with 18 families about their child’s progress as first graders. Many laughs and stories—first graders are such interesting (and often funny) human beings.
Had my eyes dilated and had that long solitary wait in the exam room before the doctor arrived to examine my eyes. Left with the lingering headache and sensitive eyes, but both are temporary. (Thankfully!)
Continued to read Margaret Atwood’s memoir (of sorts), Book of Lives. It’s long (600 pages), lively, and odd. And I keep reading it. Will I finish it before the library loan is up in 8 days? That’s yet to be determined.
Flip flopped dramatically between healthy eating (my husband made a Chilean vegetable stew last night with butternut squash) and a quick dinner the night before at In and Out with the best french fries! Will I ever stick to strictly healthy eating? Probably not.
What have you been up to this week?

I’m incredibly behind on commenting right now! (and everything else!) I like your form for this slice–highlighting a few things from your week offers a nice overview. I got shivers at the eye doctor reference as I’ve been through a heck of a year with my eyes. Ugh! I’m having another procedure next month and hope this will be the end of it. I’m quite intrigued by the Chilean stew recipe. Is it possibly vegetarian? Sounds delicious!
It is. It comes from the Forks Over Knives cookbook. We try to do several vegetarian meals every week—my husband is a great cook!
I’m vegetarian and am always on the lookout for something new and different. I just checked out the Forks and Knives website. I can’t find the Chilean stew recipe but there are lots of others that look yummy. Thanks!
