Travel and Transport
8 Pieces, 8 Outfits
I mentioned yesterday that I’m heading home for a wedding this weekend. Because this was a last minute ‘impulse trip’ I’m trying to keep it on the cheap. So I’m not checking a bag. Which means I have limited space. While reading blogs, like I do every morning, I came across a post by Tania…
Read MoreKeep Calm and Carry On
For the record, I hate that phrase. But it is wildly appropriate for this post. I’m going home to Omaha for a wedding this weekend. My carry on bag is very important to me. If I don’t have what I need/want in that bag I do not remain calm (seeing the very loose and contrived…
Read MoreTourist for 2 Days
Since our entire time in NYC has been spent unpacking and schlepping to IKEA, we haven’t been able to do much in the way of exploring. My inlaws came to visit for 2 days and we totally took advantage. The first day they were here we decided to get dinner and a show. When they…
Read MoreDay 1 in NYC = Frustrating
I’m currently in NYC with functioning internet. Thanks to our awesomely accommodating friends J&N. I had planned to post some awesome apartment pictures from my showings today. But alas, there are none to show. Let me tell you a sad story: I boarded a 5:15 am flight and hit the ground running with the apartment…

I’ve been MIA lately. But I have a good excuse. We got a tenant. We got exactly 10 days notice to get the hell out. Cut to me screaming with excitement and horror. We’ve been non stop packing, donating, trashing, and bubble wrapping. So much so that lil nugget shiner thinks bubble wrap is her…

Husband is working in Angola at the moment. A few days ago he went to an open air market. Husband always comes home with interesting art and sculptures and places like this are where he buys them. He was kind enough to take pics on his last trip. The market places in Africa are some…

Read MoreOmaha, Somewhere in Middle America…
This may be the most random post in the history of posts. Husband and I stopped in Omaha for a bit before we headed to MN. I spent a good deal of time with my siblings which is always fun. I am the oldest of this brood. See that one in the back on…
Read MoreCalling this 30 for 30
Its ovah. I made it half way. And now I’m quitting. Everyone else is done. Also, I did not pick my 30 items wisely. 6 shirts and like 4 dresses? How dumb was that?! I put 2 sweaters in there too. Cuz the super sauna weather in Houston calls for a cardigan. Idiot. So I’m…
Read MoreDay 11 of 30: Theater, Lake Bathing, and Baby Toes
Husbands hometown is the most unique small town. Lots of art lovers. They have this amazing little community theatre that I MUST get to every time I’m there. We took these pics right as we were leaving to see a play at said theater. This night was one of my last nights in Husbands hometown. …
