Last night was the first full night of sleep I've had in a week. I slept like the dead. But finally in our own bed after one hellish night at Travelodge, followed by 6 days of twins beds, trying not to fall into the crevasse. After the first night, Chris tied the legs of the bed together with a pair of his socks. lol ( Read more... )

I've had a bunch of people ask where we're registered for the wedding. I keep saying no where. The last thing either of us need is more stuff! But then, someone told me that you could register with a travel agency. That's a neat idea. Especially since I'm dying to go somewhere not in North America ( Read more... )

Any of my SF friends (or frequent visitors) ever hear of Castagnola's? My boss booked a reservation here blind because it's on the Wharf and we can ride the Powell Street car to it from our hotel. While those aren't the worst reasons for picking a place, he asked me to find out what I could since we're taking a rather large group there next week. ( Read more... )

I had a parent/teacher conference with Zoe's teachers on Wednesday. The good news is that she's reading above her level. Finally! She's reading. I'm so happy about this. Bad news is that she NEVER does her home work. We can work on this. Even worse is that she won't read or write ANYTHING in French. She's had a new teacher for 3 weeks and she won't ( Read more... )

Greetings from Pittsburgh. I just had my (first ever) Chick Fil-A sandwich. It was tasty although I really don't see what all the hype is about. I'm just grateful for free wireless so I can check email and catch up. The Robinson Township Costco is across the parking lot... my next stop and then I'll be finished with Pittsburgh and will head off to ( Read more... )

My work asked me to extend my trip an extra day to visit Pittsburgh. They're struggling to get visits done by the year end and I've never been there so I might was well, right? I hope my mom and sister don't kill me because I'll be needing their help with Zoe while I'm gone. My work mentioned using AAA to arrange my hotel reservations but I don't ( Read more... )

Man, I love Vonage. Calls to Italy, France, Spain, UK and Ireland are now free. How cool is that? Now I just need friends in all those places to chat with (and go visit!)

Post pictures of five places you would like to visit, don't say where they are, make your friends guess! No cheating!!!

I thought I'd jot down a few notes from the last week or so before the next one hits.

A few recent movies of note. A history of violence moved up in the queue based on the recommendation of a friend. I was not disappointed. I've been a fan of Cronenberg for years. I had a little trouble getting into his last film, Spider. I always meant to give ( Read more... )

The last couple weeks have been super busy. I just realized I never even updated about my Seattle trip ( Read more... )
