I’m So Ready for Fall
September 20th, 2008 — shopping, travel, whatnots
Real fall or at least the sort of fall that we get here in LA. I’ve my crave-able pumpkin spice lattes twice now and well, 1) they’re just not as enjoyable when it’s 80 degrees out and 2) they just don’t seem to taste quite as good as I remember.
But the real reason I’m [...]
And Still More Ireland Planning
September 14th, 2008 — travel
But first, man, what a PITA planning this trip seems to have been. At this rate, all the travel agent did is book the flight and our hotels in both Dublin and Belfast. I’m researching and booking the entire rest of the trip. Oh well, I’m sure we’ll have fun and that’s what matters.
We’ll start [...]
Stupid Ireland Planning: And So it Continues
September 12th, 2008 — travel
I’m so frustrated! The travel agent shot me an email and it turns out the hotel in Killarney that I wanted is no longer available. Well, I really don’t like any of the other options. I really wanted something small, family run and walking distance to the pubs and nightlife.
I’m okay with that most of [...]
Back From Sonoma!
August 7th, 2008 — eat & drink, friends, photos, travel
We got home and settled in last night. Overall it was an absolutely awesome trip. Best of all was being able to visit with my good friend. We don’t get to see each other often enough. But after this too quick visit, you better believe we’ll be heading out to Madrid to visit with them [...]
Life Lesson: Car Rental Schmar Rental
August 3rd, 2008 — life lessons, travel
Guess what? Turns out there’s a serious difference in the daily rate between booking a car for a week and booking a car for 1 day and 16 hours. I’ve done Hotwire before for our car rentals and I’ve gotten some great rates. This time though, there’s not much of a rate [...]
Greetings From San Francisco!
July 17th, 2008 — check it out, merriment, travel
Here’s a brief tour of my hotel room here in San Francisco. I’m waiting on my wine opener and crackers now – scratch that, they’re bringing me chocolate instead! Woohoo! Gotta love hotels with loyalty programs!
Trying to decide if I want to head on over to Fisherman’s Wharf on my own or just hang low [...]
Last Week Was Crazy
July 14th, 2008 — biz, launch, life, the hubby, travel
And this week doesn’t look any less crazy. I think I must have had something going on every day last week. In fact, one of both of us were so busy, that we only had one meal together at home (not cool). I actually canceled my Saturday seminar so I could spend a little time [...]

NJ History: I’m Just Slightly Appalled
June 6th, 2008 — the hubby, travel, whatnots
I need to be quick (and let me preface by saying that I’ve been enjoying a glass or two of wine), so here goes…
The school teacher in me (specifically, the 4th grade, history teacher in me) is absolutely appalled that I ended up with a guy that just doesn’t seem to care that he’s walking [...]
They Say You Can Never Go Home
June 5th, 2008 — friends, love, merriment, the hubby, travel
Well, it’s that time. We leave within the hour. I told myself when I left years ago (back in ‘89) that I’d never go back. Well, not exactly never, but only go back 1) if someone died and I needed to be there or 2) when my friend Matt got married and [...]
