I am closing in on an international vacation plan for the end of summer. The country requires travelers to have a passport expiration date at least 6 months past your arrival date. I double-checked our passports. Looks like Dean and…
Work Mode
Quick note to say that I’ve been working hard and really kind of offline until this weekend. I’ve wanted to download pictures from 4th of July, but I haven’t had any time. Worked all weekend. Don’t have time to check…
Money Monday: AirBnB
I feel like I write about AirBnB a lot. Another reminder that it’s pretty friggin awesome. To me AirBnB is easier than Vrbo.com because you can transact everything online versus Vrbo.com where you have to contact the owner, talk or…
Happily Solo
I’m ecstatic that Dean’s away this weekend for a bachelor party. I wish he would go away more. We are around each other 24/7. Except for the 8 hours I’m away at work, we are always within yelling distance of…
The Old Fashioned Way

Dismissed
What a delight to hear a word that’s normally associated with rejection. “Your case has been dismissed. You’re free to go.” On October 23, 2011, Dean and I were on our way to park his car somewhere in the Presidio….
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Edna St. Vincent Millay, where have you been all my life? I love you. We should have been reading your poetry alongside T.S. Eliot’s The Hollow Men. Poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay Renascence All I could see from where…
Still Trying
I tested for pregnancy the day of my birthday party. No the IUI was unsuccessful. I was surprised, I took it in stride. But the following day, I started BAWLING. This time I was mad at God because He’s never…
