10 on 10 on the 13th

Several of the blogs I follow do this thing called 10 on 10. On the 10th day of every month, you take 10 pictures showing how you spent that day. I thought this would be easy. As it turns out, I am terrible at remembering to take pictures. So here is my first attempt at 10 on 10. I'll try to do better next time!

Ah San Diego, another gorgeous morning! What to do with this day?

First things first: Breakfast. And with guests in town, 

what better place to chow down than

This place has the most AMAZING breakfasts.

I should have taken a picture of the plates, but like always, 

once the food arrives, I forget all else.

I am so sorry for all of you who don't live in Colorado or San Diego.

Cuz that's the only place you'll find this morning food mecca. 

For now...

 After all the eating, we had to do something active, 

and what's better on a sunny day than a beach bike ride

Taking a picture while balancing on 2 wheels: not advised

All that pedaling makes ya thirsty, we needed some hydration

Beer is mainly water, right? Say Hello to our Santa Barbara friends!

It seems that everywhere I turn these days, I am encountering the cloth vs disposable debate. Still firmly cloth.

One of the reasons we don't want to move out of our neighborhood? Feasts like this in walking distance that only cost $20 and can feed 4

 then it was off to El Dorado, the best place for cocktails in SD

 This one was called the Cyarlie Brown, my fave is the Army/Navy.
It has egg whites in it. Protein makes it healthy.

While at El D I discovered something pretty disturbing.

Turns out, that amazing book I have been telling everyone to read, you know the one, you may have read it too. I think it's called the Hunger Games? Well that book is a rip off of a 1999 Japanese novel called Battle Royale.
That was also made into a movie.
Again in 1999.
 9 years before Ms Collins thought up "her" story.
She maintains that she has never heard of Battle Royale.
I'll let you decide if you believe her after you have read this.
I think we've been bamboozled.
I feel betrayed.
But I'll get over it.

So there you have it, my very first 10 on 10.
But really only 9.
And on 13.
 

A Month in Pictures

Let's try something different. Most of my posts are word heavy, picture light. Time to switch it up. Here is what I was up to in February, using pictures.

After a month of eating healthy and trying to rid myself of holiday bloat,

I indulged.

Superbowl Sunday blessed us with this gorgeous day, so we took advantage and hiked while everyone else was glued to their sets.

 As wonderful as my husband was to accompany me, he still had to check the score



The San Diego Zoo is amazing. I go about once a week.

And have for years. I never get tired of this place

 The view from above

My wedding site getting retrofitted

February had some smashing sunrises.

Fortunately for me, my work hours allowed me to see almost all of them

Dave thought after 6 months of ownership,

it was time to detail Ovary1 (his name choice, not mine)

So we spent 5 hours on a Sunday making her pretty.

The shortest month of the year was all about

eating healthy, doing yoga and cutting alcohol

Brussel sprout chip salad

 Zucchetti and Meatballs

 Cabbage, beet, lemon, apple juice. Delicious. Really.

And my obsession for the month of Feb (and continuing into March) has been house hunting.

I drive all around San Diego scoping neighborhoods, peeking in windows and backyards, timing how long the walk/drive to grocery/park/work/friends houses would be. I love it. Dave, not so much.

    How was your month?
