Throw back Thursday & my Weekend

When I was in law school, I was a single mom with 2 young children. I often studied after I put them to bed, usually until midnight. I went to school all day, 5 days a week, and studied all the friggin’ time. The only time I could carve out for myself was when I was taking a hot bath. They were 7 and 2.  I would tell them I did not want to be disturbed unless there was blood. They were very good about that. I didn’t get disturbed.

Today, I get to meet up with some of my original Big Sur Ladies birthday group for breakfast at Deetjen’s. Many of my favorite ladies will be there and here throughout the weekend. I only get to see some of them once or twice a year, and one of them I haven’t seen in something like 5 years. I am taking the entire weekend off from my blog (gasp!) so I can spend some of it with friends.

Back on Monday…unless there is blood, fire, or road closures. Then you can email/FB/twitter me.

I’ll take photos.
