we are experiencing a real summer this year . . . beautiful, warm, sunny weather. it does change everyone's mood! and living minutes walk from kew garden--there is always a bit of lawn for a picnic or a good crawl around (cameron : ) cameron is sleeping in his own bed . . . all through the night! this is a big deal. he's also eating 'lots of chunky food and gnawed on his first apple and hunk of

madonna is always reinventing herself . . . that's her thing, right? that's what they say anyway . . . well, i feel so madonna'esque having not been around for so long now returning as something completely different . . . a wife and mother . . . isn't that a kick. bobby (husband) wanted to start a blog for cameron (son), and i said, 'why don't you just use the one i've already got?' he amused

i'm at the office . . . i should be working . . .but . . . the holidays were lovely lovely. v. quiet, just me and bobby on christmas eve, christmas, and boxing day . . . we did go to midnight mass on christmas eve, which was fun as everyone seemed to being staying in london for the hols this year. i have to say i actually began to get quite tired on christmas morning because there were so many

it's very strange . . . it's dark and the work day is virtually done, yet when i look on CNN.com all voter feedback is zero . . .it's too early in the states but it feels, here, that there should be a new president of the united states . . . well, or maybe an old one in a new term . . . or whatever . . . the point is--it's very dark here now. halloween was a smashing success . . . we had a full

yesterday i saw the new bridget jones movie poster for the first time. . . annnnnd i saw the first ever preview for ' . . . edge of reason.' it was a lame preview and bridget is unreasonably portly . . .buuuut it is all very, very exciting. it opens here in november . . . and 'wimbledon' opens this friday. very good. very, very good.

the couch arrived this morning. it changes the room entirely . . . the acoustics, the space . . . very exciting. but then you see all of the other pieces you need . . . but i want to really, really shop for those things--markets and jumble sales (that's what they call them here: jumble sales.) there is a building site across the street from my building . . . they are building shops and flats . .

if you look up grappa in the dictionary it simply has a skull and cross bones. no, not really--but it should. i do love a nice drink . . . of wine, or champagne . . . or, you know, feeling crazy--maybe a dirty martini. i have no idea what came over me . . . but i drank enough grappa yesterday at my friend's sunday lunch party to float all those coxless team G.B. gold medal winners . . . it is

i am not sure what is broadcast in the states this fine olympic fortnight . . . but in britain--this nation of stoic folk who embrace tradition--it is a garden party. we see archery, badminton, and horse riding, oh, and a bit of field hockey too . . . a tad of sailing--because, you know, the brits do like a bit of a regatta--and perhaps there will be some fencing . . . indeed. i am not making fun

in san francisco . . . but i haven't, really. i'm flying out tomorrow . . . and i do not feel sad about leaving this place. i am pleased that i've had this experience, but i won't miss san francisco. i'm off to spend two weeks with my parents before i leave for london on the 22nd. i missed jenny and aaron's wedding. i thought of them all day. i hope it was beautiful. sophie has been away for

it will be very stange to be back in the states after being abroad for three months. i'm not sure what will be the strangest thing . . . not being able to find yakult in the local grocery store. not being able to watch british tv in the same way. perhaps it will be the difference in my routine . . . i have certainly established a routine whilst here. maybe it will be the lack of pop idol cd's in

when i was in graduate school i noticed that listening to music motivated me a differenct direction . . . in fact i think it was a lab joke--my music was so loud that evidently you could hear it through my headphones as if i wasn't wearing headphones at all--i'm not really sure to what extent this was a joke . . . but i do remember some computer pranks . . . which went right over my head or

SEED is a changing . . . business is tough, so we are all going away, except for the owners--whom I love. now, this is sad too . . . but i have to say . . . i'm at a time in my life where i need to explore this vision i have of my life . . . i've actually seen my life in this way since i was about nine years old, but for some reason all of the interests (i.e.,

it's warm again in the bay area . . . usually this comes with a certain kind of restlessness . . . an internal acknowledgement that i should be living my life a certain way--exercising more, eating differently, reading more, enjoying cocktails on a friday evening as part of my spectacular social life . . . there is a certain restlessness around how i spend my time, where i live, and who i'm with

okay, if you try searching for people you know--chances are, nothing of great interest comes up. in a way this is a good thing, you know, privacy and all . . . but i was hoping for something a little juicy. thankfully, when i do a search on myself , this is the only site that comes up . . . jenny, by the way, if you search "ljc" your blog is delivered first on the list--that's pretty snazzy. i

i am at work being very important because that’s what general managers do. i was promoted at the end of January. interesting. Why is it when you vie for something so vehemently—and you get it—it’s never as exciting as dreaming about it. This is the “next in line theory.” Much more exhilarating being next than actually being ‘there.’ i am a novelist. i’m not really, but it’s kind of like

it's getting cooler and grayer in the mornings, which makes it feel more like autumn. i've decorated for halloween - a fireplace surrounded by flying crows and thick spiders, twirls of pumpkins and 'lots of black candles. i have vintage, paper lanterns with black cats that i will hang up this weekend - although, i would like to spend the entire weekend in the movie theatre wrapped in sweaters and

it is going to be 80/90-odd degrees in berkeley today . . . and san francisco will offer no respite. it is difficult to think carved pumpkins in this heat . . . this is a bay area autumn: a hot september/october. the weekend was spent clearing out the garage and my room - filling up my car with items for good will . . . a good autumn clear out is very refreshing! ahhh - new living room curtains

it is a beautiful autumn day in berkeley, california. i am happy to be back at work - as most of us must work - although, my cape vacation was like nothing i've ever experienced. i feel now that i shall quest to live in harwich . . . perhaps sooner than later. i met anne d. leclaire - author of several books - one now being made in to a film (sideshow.) it was interesting and delightful to meet

i am completely exhausted. sophie is out to dinner with her second cousin whom she doesn't know. i am going to eat smoked salmon, drink wine then take a bubble bath. great thing about summer in san francisco? fire in the fireplace. i fell off of my horse last week riding - it was rather interesting and a good thing it happend. i completely understand this concept of "get back in the saddle." i

a v. v. quiet friday here in berkeley at seed. nice opportunity to get things done. everyone has left bar tasha, and me so i thought i'd take a moment to, you know, blog. three-day w'end of tennis events (sophie is in a tournament), horseback riding (it's been too long and that makes me sad), and, hopefully, sitting in the sun talking on the telephone. tonight a large group of us are going to

it's friday. i love fridays. not for the ordinary reasons . . . but because i feel like i get to do a different kind of living come friday. i get to eat food i wouldn't normally eat. drink like it couldn't get me drunk. chat on the 'phone with friends in different time zones. swim. dig my toes in the sand - then dust it throughout my car: a tattoo to everyone that i live in this place.

i just got off of the 'phone with jenny . . .how exciting . . .she called, out of the blue, on my cell 'phone to chat about something most intriguing that i cannot discuss here : ) oh, it was thrilling . . . and then we did some 'catch up,' you know, like you do . . .and she said, "tami lives in san francisco," and i said, "i know, i'm having dinner with her tonight." all very thrilling . . .

it is nearly 4 p.m. i am feeling much better than this a.m. it might have something to do with the creamy, sweet coffee and oreo cookies i ate this afternoon . . .mmmmm . . . it's very quiet here today . . . it's nice . . .i like it when it feels like a saturday here . . . i am going to take the live/work loft . . .it's final . . .it has to be . . .i must finally have a home . . .it's been 6

oh so sleepy today . . . i could very happily go home, eat buttery toast and soup and nap for hours with a movie on in the background . . . the thought of that sounds so delicious! the weekend was most enjoyable . . . as always . . .no tennis, only a short time @ the beach and all shopping and errands done on friday evening. but . . . good food and a lazy saturday a.m. in bed reading magazines

i am so melancholy today . . .but it's okay . . .i'm at work, and i blocked out the entire day to work from home. this is okay because it's been productive. i cried playing tennis this a.m. i am so bad . . .sophie was very supportive, but i still embrace failure in the same way i did as a kid: "bend your knees, stretch your arm [the racquet is an extension of your arm] hustle, hustle, hustle . .

okay . . .it's rough . . .what's happening with companies in our industry . . . but, if i were to play pollyanna, i could say this about my company: there's more cereal. that's right . . . every tuesday morning we have a breakfast meeting . . . mmmmm . . . and then for a day or two you can eat the left over cereal . . .but now, the cereal lasts all week . . .it's sad really . . .that we've lost

I’m trying to drink more water.I’m trying to eat fewer potatoes.I’m trying to quit smoking cigarettes.I’m trying to exercise more.I’m trying to find an apartment.I've made some discoveries lately:Discovery: Chocolate is good for me.Discovery: The BeeGees album is good - really good.Discovery: If one is naked in a place other than their bathroom and/or bedroom enough times, one begins to feel less

I just KNEW this was going to happen . . .I'd be very diligent about this for a while - and then . . . without realizing it - I would permit almost two months to slip by with nothing . . .not a single word . . .so - the catch up is thus: I've officially moved to San Francisco - this is a groovin' thing despite what's going on in our industry/business . . . a transfer to this office has made me,

i just read jenny's blog . . .she finds such delightful things to share . . .i actually thought jenny made the frightful frog cupcakes (you should have seen her bunny cake!) but, alas . . .these were purchased by her beloved, aaron. he always know what to get her . . .(i will not go in to the flattened penny tale . . .check out her blog and enjoy.)i am restless today . . .i cannot put my finger

it seems i am not noting my life with any level of verve unless some element of tragedy exists in my romantic space. this is interesting - or - perhaps not . . .perhaps it is just typically female . . .i am dizzy with the smell of coffee and smoke, and it's not even 10 a.m. - in fact, it wasn't even 9 a.m. when i entered the abyss of faux continental dreaminess . . .sitting outside a cafe with
