So much to say…

But somehow, no motivation to say it! I sent out Christmas cards on Friday, now it’s a race between them and us to see who gets home quicker. We’re flying over on Sunday, a week from today, for three wonderful weeks of vacation. I can’t wait! Actually, I can wait for the flight, but I [...]

Home for Christmas

I can’t believe it’s time to start thinking about Christmas presents again. We’re flying home for Christmas, three weeks of being exhausted by shopping, family and eating. I’m ready for vacation, too. I’ve been having dreams about work which is not a good sign. Anyway, I’m off to watch the latest episode of House. What [...]

Camping!

I know I haven’t updated in a while, there’s some personal stuff going on and a lot more work at work than I expected. I spent an hour at work yesterday on the phone with a colleague in China who does our English to Chinese translation. I swear to god, it was like pulling teeth [...]

Home again, home again, jiggity jog

Just got back from Tuscany. It was pretty awesome, believe you me. We camped at a site on the ocean to the west of Florence. It took us about 5 hours to drive there, not too bad. The tent was good, the camping site was good, but it was full of Swiss, which nobody likes. [...]

The day is too short

Holy hell, housewifing leaves you with just not enough hours in the day! Especially when getting ready to go on a two week vacation to Italy and Tirol. I’m super psyched to spend a week lying on the beach (if it doesn’t rain too much), and then a week hiking in the Alps, all of [...]
