The Olympics are over, you all. We have to wait four more years. And don’t even say “Oh, but there’s winter games,” because those don’t even come close. Ice skating is not as fun as gymnastics to watch and while I’ll tune in for some skiing, it’s no swimming and diving.. And it’s because ofContinue reading “Now what do I do?”

Gold Medal in Spectating
You guys, I am so obsessed with the Olympics. I’m watching it as I write this, like I have been, with any second of free time I have except for from 10-11 on Sunday nights because that’s when Breaking Bad is on and I need to know how much crazier Walter White’s gonna get. IContinue reading “Gold Medal in Spectating”
Getting all crafty up in this piece
So after I went to jolly ol’ England and took loads (that’s such a British word) of photos, I took a couple of them and blew ’em up. Thanks to a well-timed Groupon and a week I didn’t have to buy groceries, I splurged on two canvas prints from a Web site. The pictures IContinue reading “Getting all crafty up in this piece”
The last day
By the last day I had decided a few things. I’d decided that I 100 percent plan to make my next significant purchase a Nikon or Canon fancy camera. I’d decided I kind of want to live in London. I’d decided I was no longer grossed out by eating either cucumbers or salmon. (But notContinue reading “The last day”
The fif one
So at this point you’ve heard about almost everything. Except day fieeeeeeve and the trip home. Aren’t you excited? After cramming a ridiculous amount of sightseeing, culture, shopping, walking, tubing and food into the first four days, on the day before we left, we took it easy. Kind of. We dropped Alistair off at hisContinue reading “The fif one”
Oh you fancy, huh?
Normally I’m not a fan of Mondays. They are not my favorite. In fact, I most often refer to them as my nemesis (nemeses?). But the Monday I spent in England? Best one I’ve had in as long as I can remember. Of course, any day immediately increases in potential when it starts with oneContinue reading “Oh you fancy, huh?”
And on the third day…
…they went to see the queen. Well, her house anyway. Sunday morning we, along with probably a million other people, headed for Buckingham Palace, to watch the changing of the guard. We somehow managed to get pretty close to the fence, which really is still pretty dang far from the action. But at least weContinue reading “And on the third day…”
‘My bags are packed and I’m ready to go…’
Leavin’ on a jet plane here in a couple days. I’m packed but I hate every piece of clothing I own and am convinced I’ll forget something. But really, who cares, ’cause I’ll be on vacation, suckaaaaas. And not just any vacation. THE vacation. LONDON. I downloaded “London Bridge” by Fergie last week for noContinue reading “‘My bags are packed and I’m ready to go…’”
The countdown is on
Two weeks from today I will be on my way to another country. I will be somewhere over the rainbow Atlantic Ocean, hopefully sleeping and probably drooling because it will be 3 a.m. in London and we gotta get that jet lag shit under control before it even begins. That’s all, really. Just wanted toContinue reading “The countdown is on”
One year closer to 100.
Today’s my birthday. 27, which means I’m now THAT MUCH CLOSER to 30, which then means I’m even closer to 50. That reminds me, I need to take a break real quick for my osteoporosis meds and to put my AARP card in my wallet. OK. So 27. Haven’t heard much about it – that’sContinue reading “One year closer to 100.”
