ack, i’m single again. [sigh] glad to have good friends around when i need them. some girls like to go shopping after a breakup….i decided to take a last minute weekend getaway. i found a great deal on united for $113 RT to san francisco. so i jumped on it and hung out with willie all weekend, which was so nice. i got to meet his current new girl, rhoda, and saw cindy and sabry again. on saturday, i visited berkeley for the first time—what a cool college atmosphere. and yesterday, we did some wine tasting in napa valley—only had time to visit mondavi, beringer and merryvale…but had an excellent…

had a really unexciting weekend since the weather was so BLEGH. this is probably the time of year I hate—when the rest of the country is warming up and enjoying “spring” and seattle still feels like winter, if not worse, and it rains every freakin’ day. i’m completely unmotivated to do anything but sit inside and clean/organize my apartment…and watch movies. if anything, i did a lot of cooking, making a really yummy mushroom risotto on sunday evening…how satisfying to make a good dinner. there’ve been a lot of articles in the media recently about the dilemna that highly successful, ambitious women deal with in weighing out having a family…

This dance was very raw and sensual, using ten men and only four women, wearing simple black, “Chicago”-like outfits. Because of the imbalance of genders, they had several same-sex duets which was also reflective of the origins of Tango in which…

i’m sooo bummed: KU lost to Maryland on Saturday evening…all for dumb dumb mistakes. That game was at the tip of our fingers…we even started out ahead at the beginning..but then went to 20 down..and came back up to closing the difference to only 2. [sigh] But I guess it wasn’t mean to be. What a sad evening in Lawrence, Kansas. Yesterday, I went to a driving range for the very time ever…holding a golf club in my hands for the time ever. What an interesting experience..and I have to admit: I liked it! I don’t know if I could ever have the patience to play a whole game of…
