Fun in the Snow

You’ll have to look @ Hubby’s blog to see the long-awaited snow sledding. It was hilarious (and cold!)

Highlights of the March Get-A-Way to England

I arrived at 6:40 am last Friday in Heathrow Airport.   The flight across the pond wasn’t remarkable, really, except for the usual ”Are we there yet?” voices playing in my head.   3 or 4 hours into the flight, I am silently urging the tail wind on… “Push, dammit, push!”
I envision Ian standing there in the airport.  [...]

My Dad’s Birthday – Yay!

It is my dad’s birthday!  If I was closer than 1300 miles away, I would make my dad this:

Ten Cool Things About My Dad

He knows the answers to all sorts of random things. 
He cooks awesome Chinese food and popcorn.
He can drive patiently behind a city bus.  And like it. (ok, maybe not)
He was [...]

What I Did During My Christmas Vacation

It was an AMAZING holiday.     Ian arrived in Omaha on Christmas Eve (this was the short trip for him, in the end!).    The arrivals board said the plane was on time, yet no plane.   After 1/2 hour, I was getting a little worried curious about where the plane was.   I was less concerned when I googled [...]

I went into TLK’s room on Saturday and put my hands on her arm.
Me: “Feel my hands. Does one feel colder than the other?”
Her: “Erm…. No. [...]

Love is Good

Good things are coming around the corner. I’m ready for change. I’m ready for trust and reliability and fun and just “getting it”, where life is concerned. Couple-ness. Working toward a goal where “WE” are the goal and being excited to grab for the brass ring.
There are times [...]

Flying In

Every now and then, my mind wanders back to that moment when I was sitting on the plane, looking out the window, realising that I’m about to land in England to meet my boyfriend at the airport.
The thoughts flying through my head:

Wow, I’m finally here.  7 hours wasn’t that long.
Look, the sun is coming up [...]

It Is Halloween

Not a big deal in the UK, I’ve heard, but big enough here.   TLK is going to be dressed up as a cat, which is a good alternative to her first pick.    
My office (the brand new one) is having a pet parade tomorrow.   I am not taking my dogs, but I’ll [...]

I CAN be brave, and it’s my brother’s birthday…

I am “winging it” without Ambien now. I’m going to have to sleep without hypnotic medication. Can you believe it? So far, so good, though. I didn’t sleep through the night, but I did here and there, and got some rest during the remainder of the time.
Ambien is very addictive, even though they say [...]
