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 [...]

The Race for the White House is on!
We are less than a month away from the first Presidential debate. In the control booth, I had fun working with all our live reports from the DNC in Denver and the RNC in St. Paul…Keeping up with all the juicy sound bites and timing out my morning [...]

We picked the perfect time to visit Monterey Bay, just before the labor day crowds. In fact, on our way home last Saturday, we saw bumper-to-bumper traffic on the southbound lanes of 101 and the other highways leading into Monterey.
So, we were lucky.

We loved running by the bay, breathing in that ocean air as [...]

Today, we wished Daisy a Happy Birthday! We sang to her and gave her a few slices of some birthday salami. Since she has a lucky b-day (8.8.08), we should probably buy some lottery tickets. We could use her dog tags to scratch off the numbers. Good times.
Today, she turns 3-years-old. That translates (roughly) to [...]

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 [...]

I love Southern Ca! 70 degrees is beautiful running weather by Newport Beach!

Today, my puppy rocked out her run near Alamo Creek with some Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears, Young Folks and more. We were able to run about 1.5 miles before she had to go potty. Such a good puppy!

Sigh. It was bittersweet to see the Frontier sign standing on the Las [...]

So, it looks like Daisy’s doing better after her second visit to the veterinarian.
Her painful story started Thursday afternoon. She kept licking her front right paw. In the past, she’s been quite good about chewing out the burrs and foxtails from her paws. In fact, she prefers to do it herself instead of letting [...]

Viva my weekend.
I’m taking it easy for these last days of being 29-years-old.

Last month, we ended up in Lodi after the Stockton Asparagus Festival. An air-conditioned wine tasting at the Lodi Visitor’s Center helped revive us. The festival was fun but we were wiped out from walking through 100-degree weather and [...]

I clocked another 3 miles of running by Alamo Creek this morning. I needed the cardio after my deep-fried eating fest in Stockton this weekend.

Last week, I landed my axel at Vacaville Ice Sports. I felt like a rock star. I also feel like I’ve made so much progress since I [...]
