Can I pick ’em, or can I pick ’em? Last week about this time we were heaving a sign of relief that we got through the Pennsylvania Nor’easter in one piece (in two cars) Today as I sat watching the weather channel it dawned on me that the two places where I need to land,…
Walking to Tampa
I spent almost all of yesterday on planes – flying from a mid-sized city to another mid-sized city means changing planes, and mine happened to change in Chicago (where wind conditions made both flights late), which made for a longer day. Add to that: a lack of shoes for my class (I asked a VERY…
Taking 5
The house is cluttered (of course…) but it’s an organized clutter. There are boxes everywhere, but the boxes are where they need to be (for the most part – I haven’t had to courage to venture down into the basement, that’s Gerry & the Kids’ domain) As a special gift to us, St. Paul has…
Live From St. Paul…
I’m sitting on the floor in what will be the upstairs office / media room / kids hangout area in our new house – and I’m ON THE INTERNETS!!! We have cable (we’ve never had cable) and I have a crazy, wacky feeling that I will NEVER be turning C-Span off. I feel an addiction…
St. Paul Sunday
I used to listen to this radio show every week and think that St. Paul must be a very good sort of place. Now I’m here, it’s my first Sunday as an official St. Paul resident, and I do feel a break in the stress of the past few days. Emotionally I’m a bit of…
Five Pictures
…Are worth 5,000 words. (yes, 2/14 was a Wed, this just shows how unraveled I was as I was putting these pics together. Oy.) Burn, baby, burn!
Gerry & Annie's Excellent Adventure
THANK YOU LAURIE FOR YOUR LOVELY AND BEAUTIFUL VD POST! WEDNESDAY NIGHTUp at 2:30, I was worried about not being able to move the dumpster and Relo-cube because of the sleeting snow and upcoming NOR’EASTER. I sent an email to our attorney and real estate agents outlining a few scenarios which would allow us to…
We Interrupt this Blog…
Hi. I’m Laurie and I have a little website where I talk about cats and poop and traffic and divorce and sometimes, occassionally, knitting. I am hijacking Annie’s blog because she’s halfway to Minnesnowta right now, and she’s busy with things such as “keeping sane.” Here is a picture of me and Annie on the…
If it's Tuesday…
My flight tomorrow is at 6:30, I have a 4:45 wake up call, but I can’t bring myself to sleep until I do a few things: I MUST write about the wonderful students in my classes over the past two days! Plaid-blindness aside (it’s not you, it’s ME) they were SO wonderful, excited, and extremely…
Vacation from Bedlam
I love the Inn on Broadway. I’m feeling very guilty this morning. I slept last night in a soft, lovely, white, fluffy bed that was actually more than 4″ off the floor (no air mattress here!) I was lulled to sleep by a fire (gas) in the fireplace and a cup of tea, leftover from…
