Uhoh. I think the crazy is seeping in again. Let me start this story over (lest my family consider having me committed): So (and that’s better already, that I’m starting this wacky tale with “So”), Rite-Aid stores here have these machines outside of them called the Pepsi Dream Machine. Basically, they are gigantic machines that…
Month: October 2010
It’s never too early…
to start making plans for 2011! Next year, I want the following things to happen: 1) I want to pay off our credit card (fingers crossed that no ONE keeps that from happening…!) and start saving to replace the Murano in a few years. Here, Mini Mini Mini! 2) I want to go home to…
i love wednesdays
While I still like Friday the best (the weekend has barely started and it’s so full of promise and fun and sleeping and skeeball and cocktails and movies and reading and shopping and la la la), I think Wednesdays are pretty great. 1) The grocery store ad changes on Wednesday mornings. What will be on…
American style shopping…
I forgot to tell you…while in Berlin, I went to the grocery store with our friend’s wife. While we were there she pointed out to me the “foreign” section of the store and the half a shelf of “American” food. They did an excellent job of pegging us, BTW. Here is what we Americans eat:…
European Tour: the part that takes place in Europe!
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.
