6:30am Milo the insane cat wakes me up with scratching and meowing at the bedroom door. She is definitely freaked out by this move. Hopefully the movers will be able to clear the spare bedroom completely today so that I could open up the attic for her to go up into. The attic is her …
I am so stressed right now I can’t really write at all. So instead I will give you pictures to show what my life is like right now… And still no sweaters….
So, I travel a fair amount. More than some, less than others. I almost always travel for leisure, in fact I think that I have only ever been on one business trip ever! Anyway, I’ve decided to compile this list of tips and tricks that I have learned so that you don’t have to! If …
I’m sure that some of you have noticed that I haven’t been on here in a while. That is because, my dear readers, I have been asleep or catching up on things that needed catching up on here in The Old Chapel. Mostly sleeping though to tell you the truth. I turned into sleeping beauty …
Today was spent mostly preparing. I drove to Waterloo as I decided last night that I am going to need my Glenmorangie if I am to make it through this trip A.) alive and B.) somewhat sane. I went to the big Hy-Vee that is out by the mall (for those of you not from …

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 …
Today, from 10:30 am until about a half an hour ago (4:30 pm) the power was out. We had received a nice little letter from the electric company about a week ago telling us that this was going to happen, so it wasn’t a total surprise. Still, it sucked. Luckily, the battery for the …
So, I’m just going to get this out in the open up-front. I know that this is my fault. It is my fault that I have the sniffles now and will have a full-blown sinus infection before I get on the plane on Thursday. “Why?”, you may ask. Simple. I am much too excited about …
