We have several birthdays coming up: my best friend in England, my Mum and my father-in-law. Each of them have varying tastes. Mum is into Nascar and several other sports that I don’t understand or enjoy but she already has more than enough Nascar jackets and other things like that. With my father-in-law it’s often [...]

I’ll write something of more substance later, but I hope that everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving today is having a good one, and spending time with family and friends that they are truly thankful for.
I’m thankful for babysitting! Because I have to be at work soon and most of my relatives are out of the area, [...]

On Sunday Mum took the munchkin and I to Lady of the Lakes Renaissance Faire. It’s the first time since 2005 that I’ve been to the Ren Faire and it was a lot of fun, and the munchkin really enjoyed himself.

The maypole guarded the entrance and when we walked in we were invited to participate [...]

Last night we went to the a Haunted Swamp at the Enzian in Maitland. It’s actually the first time since I was a small child I’ve been to a really big Halloween bash and it was a lot of fun, despite my getting sick towards the end of the evening.
They had a lot of really [...]

I was speaking earlier about our trip to East Coast Thing at the end of August. Here’s the second part of our “epic tale”. We had so much fun on our trip. I had been apprehensive about being in cabins without so many amenities, but it was a lot of fun and despite the fact [...]

I’m finally getting to write properly about our ECT trip in August. We went to ECT for my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding. We left the last Wednesday in August at the “glorious hour” of 3:30 in the morning, to go to the Orlando International Airport and fly to Tennessee for a connecting flight to Newark [...]

I just realized that this will be the 1010th post on this blog. Crazy, huh?
Today my Mum and I are taking the munchkin to the zoo. Despite that today has felt a bit weird because neither my husband nor Kore are home. Kore’s taking classes in person at UCF today and hubbie is at work, [...]

At 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday we left for East Coast Thing and my BILs wedding. We returned home around 4 p.m. on the following Sunday.
Despite the fact that we only spent three actual days in Pennsylvania we got a lot done, saw a lot of very beautiful things, interacted with some great people who were [...]

We’re at that portion of trip prep where everything is devolving into chaos. We don’t have suitcases, we can’t find the travel bags, can’t find the car charger, family members are sick, all those extra expenses.
Yesterday things seemed fairly set. I talked to the airline they said that we wouldn’t have to pay if the [...]

We’re getting ready for a big trip in the next few days. The first big vacation we’ve taken ever, to be honest. I have a list of things for hubbie and I to do that is a mile long, including finding car chargers for the cell phones (which I know we have they’ve just vanished) [...]
