Hey, remember that time we tried to go on vacation and there was a perfect storm of sickness, busted air conditioners, and dumbass doctors? Yeah. Good times. Since then we have had many successful vacations with the only running curse being of the Celebrity Death variety. Sorry, Carrie Fisher. So, when Steven and I decided […]

fly you fools
So I forgot to do my little dinky birthday post cat meme thing last week. First time I’ve missed it in years. Whoops! Well, I was a bit busy that day. Starting when Lydia turned five, Steven and I began a tradition: we would take the birthday kid out all day on their actual birthday, […]
summer doldrums, diagnosis, and upcoming busy things
Once again this blog has suffered due to the summer doldrums. I am not a fan of summer, and it seems to sap all that is creative out of me. Thankfully, October begins tomorrow, and this Saturday we’ll have a high of only 68! Super excited! Summer has been busy, and we will continue to […]
embracing the hippie culture
Y’all, April has been a busy month. I’m looking forward to June when all we’ve got to do is have three birthdays. So, let’s see. Earlier this month Steven went to a .NET conference in Portland, Oregon. Since his parents are super awesome and agreed to keep the kids, I got to tag along with […]
Londinium: Day 8 “Travel Home Day”
Saturday Sept 10 I’m sitting in Bayswater station, and have been for some 15 minutes now, waiting on a district line train. Waiting. Time to get to the freaking airport, and some signal failure at Baker st has caused mass chaos on the Underground. Two hours till takeoff, still have a 30-40 minute Tube ride […]
Londinium: Day 7 “More Museums Day”
Monday, September 9 I guess I’m an every other day kinda writer. Portobello Market wasn’t all that spectacular, but that could be because it was closing down as we got there. We walked around Notting Hill for a while until we realized we were near the hotel. Had mediocre sushi for dinner, then we walked […]
Londinium: Day 5 “Museum Day”
Saturday, 9/7/13 Skipped a day again, haven’t I? I’m not doing really good at this. Yesterday wasn’t the most fantabulous day, anyway. We started off early, and it was rainy. British rain is surprisingly dreary even though it doesn’t rain much at once. It was coming down just enough that necessitated an umbrella. Messy affair. […]
Londinium: Day 3 “Off to the Tower Day”
Thursday, 9/5/13 Skipped a day already, haven’t I? Well, we lost a good half day just due to flying over the Atlantic. Our 5am is noonish over here. We took the Tube from the airport to our hotel; well, the vicinity of our hotel. After a little fumble near South Kensington, we made it to […]
Londinium: Day 1 “Travel Day”
Like last time, I kept up a journal during our trip to London, only this time I wrote it on my phone. Makes for easy copy and pasting! I’m going to dole it out in increments, so it won’t be to overwhelming. So we begin with . . . Day 1: Travel Day Despite I-20’s […]
a quick note
Time to torture myself with a plane ride again. This time we’re off to London. Why? Well, why not? We take off in a few hours. I suppose I should pack. Au revoir.
