Well, it’s time to start planning that belated honeymoon of ours, because if we don’t… October will be here before you know it and we won’t be able to do a thing. As is typical of me, who always gets skittish when it’s time to commit to something & make plans, I’ve started questioning and […]
My SECOND trip to Amsterdam was, by far, the very best & most memorable. And you know, I did that one alone. Just me. No boyfriend or friend or anyone to answer to. It was my 28th birthday gift to myself. (Well, to myself and from my parents – a plane ticket.) Good god, has […]
I had the most perfect 30th birthday ever. Truly. I celebrated in Prague, smashed shots of slivovice and becherovka. Me, some friends, and my two flatmates (who I wish I’d appreciated more when I lived with them) went out dancing and didn’t get home until well after 5 am. Sadly, I don’t have any pictures […]
I’m going through all my old photos and, in the interest of trying not to rant and complain for awhile, reposting a few and looking back on when they were taken. These photos are from my last trip to Holland – Amsterdam. Don’t get me started on Amsterdam, my first great love. Mr Nikki’s, as […]
To recap: Our son was born on November 13. On December 16, movers came in and packed up all our stuff, and we spent 3 days in a hotel. Mr Nikki continued to work for 2 of them. On December 19, we got on a plane and moved up to Seattle where we’ve spent the […]
As you know, we had a whirlwind marriage – we ran off to Santa Barbara on the last weekend Mr Nikki could take a day off of work. No muss, no fuss, just as I like it. But that also meant no honeymoon, and for as much traveling as he & I did before we […]
Last night, Hank took me out for sushi – I know, I know. I ate the vegetable rolls and some lobster. Sigh. What I really wanted was the catch of the day (red snapper). Alas. Vegetable or not, though… oh, sweet jesus. Sushi. I used to eat fried eggs just about every day – I […]
Hank said to me this morning, “Whatever you want to do tomorrow, we’ll do it.” (Which is an odd thing to say, because, really, if either one of us every really wants to do something, we do it. And what I really love to do is never make plans.) However, in the spirit of that […]
I am in St Louis, Missouri, writing you from yet another hotel room and right about now I’m ready to give up this job to be a library clerk or something. No, not really, but after not being home for 3 weeks (working for 2, then a week for Christmas), being home for 5 days, […]
Fear less, hope more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Hate less, love more; And all good things are yours. -Swedish Proverb
A little looking back… a couple (photoshopped) photos from my last trip to Amsterdam. I love Amsterdam. This was one of the few boutiques my friend decided to spend hours in and I didn’t actually mind. It was an adorable boutique, the owner was charming, the underwear was delicious, and the cake was beautiful. (click […]
I’m becoming well traveled. Cape Sargres, in Portugal, is what was once known as the end of the world – sailors thought that if you went past the horizon, you’d be burnt to a crisp by the flames shooting from the mouths of dragons and other monsters. The Dhali Lama stood on the Charles Bridge […]
