[This is a continuation of the travel diary I kept in the summer of 1999 when I ran amok all over Europe, barely 19, towing an 18-year-old Steven with me. Good times. — Present-day Carrie] I’m in Bath. No no no, not the bath, Bath, England of all places. Like in the Canterbury Tales, the […]

7/11/99 Day 3 “London Day Part Deux”
[A further continuation of my travel diary from the summer of 1999, when I had the pleasure of touring Europe. I did a lot of stream-of-consciousness writing because that’s how I wanted to remember it. — Present-day Carrie] Very glad I found my camera! Thought I lost it yesterday, how nerveracking. Anyhoo, we’re on a […]
7/10/99 “London Day”
[This is a continuation of my travel diary from the summer of 1999, when Steven and I had the opportunity to go to Europe. In case y’all are wondering (since my 19 year old self was wondering) the plane we flew on was a Boeing 777. It felt safe enough. I still don’t like planes. […]
7/9/99 “Plane Day”
[This is a continuation of the travel diary I kept during a European vacation during the summer of 1999. I figured I’d best type it up . . . you know, in case of fire, alien invasion, etc. — Present-day Carrie] While I’m thinking about it (& cause Steven reminded me) here’s a tenative Present […]
7/8/99 1 day before departure “Packing Day”
[In part to keep my mind off things, and also in lieu of other ideas, I present to you the travel diary I kept during a span of two weeks in the summer of 1999 when I went on a trip to Europe. I was 19 years old, a newly-minted college sophomore, and Steven and […]
what vegetable isn’t allowed on a boat?
As I sipped on my coffee this morning and perused over some blogs, I hear Steven shout out from the bedroom/bathroom area: “Hey, do we have a leak?” Uh oh. “What?” I holler as I begin to head towards the bathroom. “Oh, my God — where?? I didn’t see any!” Visions of damp carpet, plumbing […]
clean teeth for everybody
The other day Steven and I passed by a car with the words “Equine Dentistry” written on the side. Never really thinking before about the need for horse teeth cleanliness, we were both amused. Steven came up with a tag line for them: “Equine Dentistry — so you can look a gift horse in the […]
steven’s second life
Last week the awesome band Coldplay was in town performing at the Amphitheater (Verizon Wireless and their sponsorship can go walk off a cliff) and it seems like everyone but us went. In retrospect we wish we had gone but last week was a busy week. One of Steven’s co-workers who attended the concert remarked […]
Alagasno
Steven, while on the phone dealing with a billing issue with Alagasco: “So . . . you’re punishing us for being proactive?” “I’m bring up the bill on the website . . . hold on, it’s a pretty crappy website . . .” It is a crappy website, too. There are two separate log-ins — […]
not a good way to look at the carseat
Steven and I were installing Lydia’s new carseat in Elliott earlier this evening and we spent some time familiarizing ourselves with all the straps, clips and hold-em-downs so we won’t panic the first time we strap a flailing girl in it. It’s pretty similar to her carrier seat, only bigger and it doesn’t move. Steven […]
