Ferdinand Bolstraat 333, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

When I last checked in with you, I was coming to you live from the air!! In a plane! Over Canada/the Atlantic somewhere…     That plane ride was seriously the longest I’ve ever been in a seat, but we made it safe and sound and touched down in Amsterdam at 7:45am. That’s a 7 [...]

I never do anything in order so this should be fun!

Peek-a-boo!! It’s me again! Did you miss me? I wanted to warn all 4 of my readers that for the next couple of weeks or so, I’m going to chronologically blog about my trip. I’ve left the flying to Amsterdam post up much to the chagrin of my readers (all 4 of you!) so that [...]

You say Amsterdam, I say Amster-DAMN long flight!

  I’m coming to you “live” from flight 242 out of Detroit, MI en route to Amsterdam, Netherlands. It’s been an uneventful flight, except for the sore bum and back. There isn’t much leg room in this row, and there is a HUGE gap near the window where I’m sitting, so I have to prop [...]

4 Days and a wake up!

Amsterdam and Italy are just around the corner. This time last year we were preparing for a trip to Missouri to dog/house sit for my Dad and Sister’s trip to Europe! Who would have thought I would be going a year later? We had it in our minds that our Dad had little time left [...]

Are you tired of my voice yet?

I am a little. I keep talking about my trip to Europe here and here.  I’m sort of tired of talking about it…nah, not really! I’m excited and I can see it more and more in my minds eye because I’m ticking off the To-Do’s on my lists! Here are a few of my favorite [...]

27 Days and counting…

You heard that right! 27 days until I board a plane for Detroit and then me and my two adventure buddies head out over the big blue Atlantic to beautiful Amsterdam.     Guess what?! I’m excited! I’m scared! I’m making a hundred different lists that need to be checked off and then executed before [...]

Things you don’t know about me…

I like to eat with big spoons. You know those little teaspoons that you use to stir coffee with or give to the kids? Yeah well, I hate ‘em. I like the big spoons cuz you can get more on it! Cereal takes forever to eat with the tiny spoons. If forced to, I will [...]

Update: To Do List

See that list over there? To the right…yeah that one.   Um……   I’m not doing so well at  crossing those things off the list. I have had a date night with hubby, kept up with birthdays (so far)…and that’s about it. I’m not sure if sleeping a lot is doing something nice for myself. [...]

An Open Love Letter to My Husband…

  Dear Jon,      This Sunday is Valentines Day. In the spirit of love and all that gushy mushy stuff, I wanted to let the world know how much I love and admire you. I want the world to know that in my imperfection, I say harsh things to you that you don’t deserve. In [...]

I’ve been patient, but you gots ta GO!

Dear Cold Virus aka mutant snot producing, head exploding, really yucky thing- Let me start out by saying that you misunderstood my kind gesture by breathing you in. How was I to know some random germ such as yourself would come and invade my body like an unwelcome thief in the night? How was I [...]
