Queenkv’s Brainpickings

So, I’m addicted to playing anything with Mario on our Wii. My dad gave it to us and we love it.
My hubby loves it a lot. And Daisy wonders why she can’t have her own Mii. I haven’t figured out how to make the Cocker Spaniel ears.
We’re having fun with bowling, tennis and [...]

On our a weekend trip down to So Cal, we met up with my cousin and her hubby. They were nice enough to take some time off from work and hang out with us at the Block.
We checked out the Lucky Strike Bowling Alley. It was a little loud, but we still had a [...]

COVINA, CALIF — Time flies when I back in So Cal with my family. We’re driving back to Nor Cal in a few hours.
I’m grateful many of them agreed to take a day off to sync up with my funky weekend schedule. My sleep schedule was also messed up. I’m sure I’ll be back to [...]

We woke up to a light dusting of snow this morning in Laramie. I’m blogging from the Coral Creek Coffee Company and about to bite into my bagel with veggie cream cheese.
We said good-bye to Kansas yesterday. A cold start to another cross-country road trip. Daisy made herself at home in the back seat. I’m [...]

I matched-up with several items on this list. [...]

We finally got a chance to explore the KU campus on Saturday. It’s a cute little campus with hills and stuff. We walked through Memorial Drive and up to the Campanile. It’s dedicated to [...]

Not sure if I know what I’m doing….I do know I love Mark. His family’s staying in Ontario. Andrea’s came all the way from Mobile and she’s staying at my house…
For some sick reason, I’m still up - blogging my little heart out about my brainpickings…..my last few hours of being single. I’m exhuasted, my [...]

from Cali…
My bro has been keeping up with the latest on Cal Bear Football, for me…and golly - it’s nice to have a winning record.
Go Bears!. I was totally thrilled by one of his e-mails with the subject heading: RE: CAL ranked #4 in the nation -Sweet! Now, I don’t follow much sports, but [...]

PART 1 - vacation….
last week, we had a three day vacation from UC Berkeley….it always bugged me when students came back and asked - “how was your spring break?” i had to bite back the retort -
