My mom treated me to a healthy, organic and generally motherly lunch at a place she heard about on the radio, called Tender Greens. The food was unremarkable, but the cheesecake — a fluffy wedge drenched in blackberry jam — was to die for.

Today Mr. A celebrated his birthday with a picnic in the park, surrounded by friends and fam.

I was in charge of decorating and catering, so I called our favorite Thai place to see if they could handle an order for 15 people this afternoon.

The man on the phone said yes.

I hung up [...]]]> http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/06/27/the-end-is-near/feed/ 1 http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/06/22/give-me-a-kleenex-and-a-free-pizza/ http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/06/22/give-me-a-kleenex-and-a-free-pizza/#comments Mon, 22 Jun 2009 03:07:00 +0000 La Roxy http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/?p=485 June 21.

I went on a bike ride today with Mr. A and a friend, the K-meister. We started in the middle of Point Loma and rode up to the lighthouse.

For those readers not from San Diego, i.e. most of you, that means we rode approximately 5 miles each way, up hill and knoll, [...]]]> http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/06/22/give-me-a-kleenex-and-a-free-pizza/feed/ 0 http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/06/20/teach-me-how-to-take-a-man-down/ http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/2009/06/20/teach-me-how-to-take-a-man-down/#comments Sat, 20 Jun 2009 02:31:00 +0000 La Roxy http://dailyasker.com/Wordpress/?p=483 June 19.

Mr. A and I rang in our fourth year together tonight.

Since I know you’d rather read about asking and negotiations, I’ll spare you the intimate, mushy, high-res blow-by-blow. (Except you. Yeah, you. I’m sure you’d like to read about it.
