10.) No one talking about either cricket or rugby. It’s not that I have anything against those games but I understand them even less than I do (American) football and thus find them incomprehensible. 9.) Cornhole. Best outdoor game for for folks who have been drinking ever (you don’t need to drink while you are …
I’m sitting here cooling my jets in the Dusseldorf airport feeling very glad that I didn’t have enough cash to get the Glenmorangie Scotch that I wanted to get. Despite assurances that from the airline representative that I had called specifically to make sure of this, I was made to go through both …
Last day here. Tomorrow I will be getting up ass-early to haul my sorry carcass out to Heathrow airport (at least it isn’t Gatwick which is even further) to get onto an airplane to go to Dusseldorf. I’m flying Lufthansa all the way there and United on the way home. I am so excited that …
So, it is now really real. My travel plans are pretty much in carved in soap stone at this point. This means that they are booked but could change due to the varagancies of the Travel Gods. Or weather. I mean, it is autumn in the Midwest not exactly an area known for it’s weather …
So, the Flower Power blanket, otherwise known as the blanket for Cesar and Pam, is very nearly done. I finished sewing it together this week (thank the Gods) and am working on putting the edging on it. I’m so happy that this project is done I could (and have) done a little dance. It’s not …
Today I am having one of those days where just one thing spins you around a full 180 and before you know it your day is going in a very different direction than you anticipated. It all started with an e-mail from my mom asking if I was still interested in driving to Alaska from Iowa. …
Packing is in full-swing here. We’re up to the mid 200’s in the box numbers. Mind you a lot of those are the wonderful cat food and litter buckets that I am obsessive about saving since they make great yarn containers but they are not the biggest things to pack things into. However, they are …
My husband is a saint. No, it’s not that he only has the patience of one (which he does) but that he is, in fact, as saint. The pope just doesn’t know it yet. Screw the pope (he probably needs it!), the world doesn’t know it yet. I am sure that some folks kinda figured, since …
This is what my weekend was about: It was all about babies and friends getting married and drinking and eating. This is why I love to visit Chicago. It holds most of those nearest and dearest to me. Even the newest ones are …
So, I thought that I would recap my goals and see how well I did with them…. 1.) Will not spend more money than have. Did ok on this one. I worked pretty much as a cash only thing so I couldn’t spend more than I had. 2.) Will not get drunk and diss and/or start …
