This past week has been pretty stressful for me at work because it was our university’s time for review by the <\/span>California Commission on Teacher Credentialing<\/a>. Luckily they’re allowing us to continue to run a teacher credential program (thank bajeezus!) though we have a few things we need to improve on, luckily nothing in my role is affected by that. I al<\/span>so came down with a bit of bronchitis (fun!) though luckily it wasn’t as bad as I’ve had it before and thank goodness it wasn’t the dreaded swine flu!<\/span><\/p>\n

Lately we’ve been laying low over the weekends and just hanging out at home with Lola. On Saturday we had Jessie and the LOST fan group come over to our place for our mini-marathon (four episodes). Then that night we decided to take the BART downtown to walk around <\/span>Union Square<\/a>. Last we<\/span>ek they put the large Christmas tree up and also the ice skating rink so we went to check those out and then got some yummy ice cream (even though it was pretty chilly last night!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Kevin and I both have really enjoyed moving up to SF where living green is not only a part of the general public’s consciousness already but it’s also integrated into the law<\/span> (where plastic shopping bags are forbidden to be used in major grocery chains and composting was just made the law for residents and businesses in October). Every year <\/span>Green Festival<\/a>s<\/a> are hosted in major cities across the U.S. and this year’s SF Green Fest was thi<\/span>s weekend so Kevin and I spent a few hours there today. There were tons of booths with different organizations and companies that are committed to sustainable living and they had great free samples and handouts. There were food booths and demonstrations and speakers and a lot of great information was being shared. Our favorite part was learning about the home composting system called the <\/span>Worm Factory<\/a> which seemed like the easiest and quickest way to home compost we’d ever heard of before.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we got back t<\/span>o our neighborhood we decided to stop off for a late lunch to one of our new favorite spots called <\/span>Cali Pho Nia<\/a>. They have got some of the best <\/span>bun <\/span>(vermicelli noodles with veggies, a choice of meat, and fish sauce) I’ve ever had (<\/span>bun [pronounced ‘boon’] <\/span>is my favorite Vietnamese noodle dish ever and their grilled beef is the absolute best we’ve ever had!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Not much else is going on in our little world…next weekend we’re going to<\/span> visit our friends Stacey, Jay, Isabella and Tasi (see previous blog post about visiting them <\/span>here<\/a>) and we’re looking forward to having some visitors during Thanksgiving which is going to be a lot of fun. So we might not have much to blog about for a bit but don’t fret I’ll be sure to update again when there’s something worth updating you all about!<\/span><\/p>\n

Hope all is well with you!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some cute photos of Lola to bring a smile to your face! \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
