I've been traveling for like 18 days now and I'm exhausted! Remembering when your next train/plane is, making sure you're packed and ready to go, getting their on time and then you're finally in a new city and you have tom find your way from the airport/train station to the hostel and get checked in, get your bearings and head out to go see the ( Read more... )

So I logged onto Facebook and my sister-in-law had just posted and announced that her and my brother are expecting a baby. Not the way I ever expected or wanted to find out that news. 

So I called my sister today and she actually answered, we talked for an hour and it was great. My oldest nephew, Tyler, turns 11 tomorrow - I can't believe it! I sent him and Shawn movie tickets since I won't be able to get up there to see them.

I also worked on communicating with my dad.

I was one of those weird kids who usually enjoyed the assigned reading in English class. In ninth grade we were assigned this book and I was one of the very few who loved it.  I took it home and read it in one evening and immediately fell in love.

I wish I had a father like Atticus.

This book is so fascinating and has so ( Read more... )

The last time my Grandma and I went to NYC together, we went and saw Next to Normal on Broadway.  It was phenomenal.  I cried while watching it, it made me think of what it was like as a child living with Diana (my mother).  The mother in the musical is named Diana as well, so it was an interesting ( Read more... )

TV Show: NCIS

First there was JAG, then came NCIS which was followed by NCIS:LA but to me, despite loving JAG, I think it is the middle child that is the absolute best of the three.

One thing that I've picked up on, since I started writing these posts, is that I like shows with a strong ensemble.  And every strong ensemble that I like is made up of ( Read more... )

TV Show: Criminal Minds

Just ended its seventh season and I am still hooked.  The cases that they work, well, they can be creep and terrifying, especially because you know that there's a similar real life crime out there somewhere.

I love the team, the camaraderie that they have.  I love Penelope, she's quirky and wonderful. I love JJ and Prentiss, ( Read more... )
