Hello! I finally gave up on Dell and Windows operating system. I am now a MacBook convert for my home computer. I couldn't update my site since my piece of crap Dell laptop screen would go dark after about 5 minutes. The computer was still on but without a screen it is pretty worthless. 

My dad fell on Wednesday night. We found out Thursday that he shattered his hip socket and broke his arm. He is at North Memorial for the time being. He was moved out of ICU on Friday evening. He will not be having surgery but will need to go to long term care and rehabilitation. Fingers crossed that all continues to go well. 

The plane that landed in the Hudson was literally right by my old office at Hanover Direct. I talked with my old colleagues which witnessed the event unfolding. That is just unbelievable that everyone got out alive. How amazing! 

I joined a health club near my apartment. I am kicking it into gear with a personal trainer and some pilates 1:1 sessions. I want to learn how to surf in the spring and before that can happen I have to find my core muscles! Ten years of laziness doesn't go away over night. . . .ugh! Got to love the alarm going off at 4:45 am. 

Spike turned SIX today!!! We went for a walk at La Jolla Cove. I made up some Cheddar Biscuits (Three Dog Bakery Cookbook) and will bring them to work tomorrow for all the dogs to enjoy. 

I am heading to NYC January 29 - February 1st. I am excited to have a social life for that weekend. :-)
