When bad things happen to good people and why I want to smack it in the face after I throw it down the stairs.

I’m running on about 4 hours of sleep, so forgive me if this post rambles and sounds dumb. I’m not in much of a mood to care. Oh yeah, I went there.   This week Jon is on a business trip. Gone for 5 days and somehow the universe decides to barf all over me [...]

August: a month in review

  I’ll just do a quick list with the good and not so good things that happened this month. It’s all been a giant jumble of one thing after another. I’m frankly surprised I’m still alive. (Dramatic much? Why yes, thank you.)   Good Stuff: I made the most amazing brownies. They were topped with [...]

It’s a Hard Rock Life

 **Warning** Long post ahead. Lots of pictures and lots of mouse scrolling. **End Warning** I’m sure I’m getting my days mixed up. I didn’t do so well keeping the pictures dated and in folders. I made the mistake of labeling all my downloaded photos each day, “Amsterdam 2010”. My computer, while smart didn’t sort them [...]

What’s that noise in my head?

I was sitting here at my computer this morning and I was musing about a few things.  Like… I can’t wait to see my collarbone. Sooner rather than later. I think I feel it-it’s getting closer to the surface, but still not fully visible. I’m sure Jesus will come before I see my hip bones. [...]

Because I’m unoriginal…

If my Sister can direct her readers here so she doesn’t have to blog about our trip, then I can steal her random confessions and put some of my strange thoughts on “paper”. So here goes…   I really want a pair of cowboy boots. To wear with a cute little dress like this one [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
