July 7, 2024 (Day 18): The Long Trip Home In Which We Discover We Are Still Sick We discovered that we were not nearly as better as we thought we were during this IMTERMINABLE trip home. First, the taxi driver (who was terrifying while driving, by the way, though he did get us to theContinueContinue reading “Epic British Vacay: Home Again, Home Again”

Epic British Vacay: Holland (with Cheese!)
And I’m finally back to tell you more about Holland! Sorry for the delay – a little present day update: Daniel fell on the cruise ship, hurting his thumb, which wasn’t mentioned in my posts because it seemed minor at the time. But since then, he’s been to the doctor because it wasn’t healing properly,ContinueContinue reading “Epic British Vacay: Holland (with Cheese!)”
Epic British Vacay: Blarney Castle
June 28, 2024 (Day 9): Cork, Ireland, Blarney Castle, and more Spoiler alert: Another day at sea did not, in fact, stop our apparent colds from forming. In fact, last night, I was so exhausted I ended up skipping dinner and slept for like 12 hours and still awoke feeling less than well, and DanielContinueContinue reading “Epic British Vacay: Blarney Castle”
Vacation Vibes
Guys, I didn’t know it was possible. But I’m actually ready to take a break from cooking shows. I did nothing but sit around for almost a week, watching Chopped, Sweet Genius, Cake Wars, and squeezing in a couple episodes of Guy’s Grocery Games as well. Okay, and I read four…no, five books. Five? IContinueContinue reading “Vacation Vibes”
Trying to Vacation
I’ve decided to take a vacation. That’s right. I’m giving myself a vacation. Because I’m my own boss. So I can do that. At least, that’s what my husband tells me. I’m still trying to convince my boss (aka, the critic I believe I previously named Chadwick) that it is all right. At first, IContinueContinue reading “Trying to Vacation”
Traveling the California Trail
I don’t remember when I first became fascinated with the Oregon/California trail, but it has been an ingrained interest for possibly decades. One of the very first full book ideas that I came up with after I decided I wanted to be a writer (around 8-years-old) was that of a rich, entitled girl whose familyContinueContinue reading “Traveling the California Trail”
Friends, School, and Writing (of course)
I know it’s been awhile. But a lot has been happening. Allow me to update you (because I know you are all completely fascinated by my life). I got to spend a WHOLE FIVE DAYS with my Gibson Girl friends! We weren’t all always there at the same time, but for the most part weContinueContinue reading “Friends, School, and Writing (of course)”
Playing Tourist
So, no, I haven’t kept up with my 10 minutes of writing a day for the last couple weeks. Buuut, I have a good excuse, honest. My older sister came to visit me for 10 days and, for those of you who don’t think that is a good enough excuse, let me clarify. This wasContinueContinue reading “Playing Tourist”
Cruises and books
So, I am not going to use the excuse “busy” for not having written in awhile. Frankly, I simply kept forgetting and then, when I did remember, other things took priority. Which is how it should be, right? Life takes priority over internet? We went on our (almost) annual cruise end of March andContinueContinue reading “Cruises and books”
