Queenkv’s Brainpickings

I missed waking up with my Daisy this morning. I spent the night in Berkeley after working on a wine tasting event in Palo Alto. Not only is she a wonderful source of warmth, she makes me feel special as we cuddle. It’s nice to wake-up in the middle of the night and feel her [...]

Finally. December. I’m trying to keep track of all the amazing food we sampled over the past few months. So far, I have tweeted several gourmet experiences. Now – I’ll try to sum up some of those dining adventures, beyond 140 characters. We did a Thanksgiving Lunch at the Bistro in downtown Sonoma. I needed [...]

Finally coming up for some air. I finished up another busy week in the newsroom. Cal Good: The Bears knocked down Stanfurd last weekend. Go Bears! We watched the game on a couple of flat screen TVs at the Kezar Bar in SF. We had a nice mix of Berkeley and Tree fans – cheering [...]

For Halloween, I brought in some Halloween Oreo Cookies for my co-workers. Only 130 calories per package. I also brought in all my Cal gear for my Tailgate Fashion Show. I asked everyone to bring in their college school gear for our set. Somehow, Andre snuck into my bag. Again. You remember this bear right? [...]

“…living in a lonely world.” Ok – I’m not that lonely. I still think of my hometown as a small one. I grew-up in Diamond Bar. It’s in East LA County, between the 57 and 60 Freeways. It’s a fine place to raise a family, with slight conservative leanings. I also dreamed about life beyond [...]

Just in case that Haas job doesn’t work out…. It’s an old joke between my hubby and me. It goes back to our first months of dating. At that time, I was also on my first months at Haas. UC Berkeley classified me as being “on probation.” That joke came up anytime I felt insecure [...]

Riding the California Corridor from Davis to Berkeley. Wondering if I should shell out $4 for wine in the dining car

Rock on Bears! 21-0 Cal Berkeley. Yah! This is the extra point after our touchdown.
