So anyway, eventually we got to Berlin. Gene’s best friend met us in baggage claim. We arrived around 10 AM and we stayed awake as long as possible…by which I mean we were passed the eff out by approximately 3 pm. Yes, that’s the wrong thing to do but I suck at time changes. And…

European Tour: more yammering
As I mentioned awhile ago, the trip from Cheesecake City to Berlin had two layovers: Thirty-three minutes in Ohio and an hour in Paris. A rep from Delta told me “No stopping, no shopping” for the Ohio layover. The flight to Ohio actually got there a little early -YAY!- although I did not stop or…
European Tour: the pre-aftermath
So anyway. Our trip to Germany. We were invited to visit all the way back at Christmas 2009, and we’d planned to go over the summer, but as I remarked, it is fraking expensive to go in the summer. Plus, I had the old job bankruptcy problem and then the new job and blah blah…
Vacation: Briefly, w/ bullet points
Walked in the door about an hour ago. Been awake mostly since midnight Cheesecake City time. Hella tired. Got frisked in by airport security/TSA in Cheesecake City Airport n’ Bait Shop, and airports in Cincinnati and Berlin. Honestly, I may have been frisked in Paris as well but it was around 6 AM Paris time,…
European Tour ’10
On the way home from our trip to Germany. Had a great time, will write more later.
First, we take Cincinnati…
then we take Berlin! (OK, actually, first we take Cincinnati, then we take Paris, THEN we take Berlin). Am I the only one who thinks it is hilarious that there’s a flight from Cincinnati to PARIS? Every time I think of it I imagine the scene in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy walks out…
Things that happened yesterday…
Someday I’m going to start a category here called “Things I would have blogged if I had a smart phone”. I imagine that I’ll do this the day before I acquire a phone that will get me to the internet. Yesterday’s annoyances: 1) Got to work early, but later than I’d planned since I was…
Dilemna
Yes, I know how to spell* D-I-L-E-M-M-A. About 40% of the time on Babycenter the word gets misspelled as “dilemna” and it always makes me cringe. Where do these dingbats get an “N” sound??? So anyway, I have a dilemma. At my new job, I will have 2 weeks of vacation a year (plus sick…
random thoughts…
First, I see that WordPress version 3.0 is available. Hold me, I’m scared. Oh, how I hope they will let me upgrade automatically. If this blog disappears sometime this weekend, assume that I had to do the tech stuff myself. Please light a candle for me 😉 Second, I wonder what Gene plans to cook…
Travels with Laineyd…
Going to Indiana from approximately June 30-July 4. Yay! (However, I am not going to Arkansas as my grandfather’s wife’s granddaughter and her family are visiting right before I’d be there and that’s a lot of stress). (I will get to Arkansas, I WILL). (I’m not proud that I have been saying that since 2008)….
