Remember last year when I was obsessed with the tea at the Tea Room at Renfest? Well, I finally did it. I bought a giant bag of tea for way too much money. But it's extra yummy. It smells just like potpourri, but tastes way better.  Ah....

I'm thirty all of a sudden. Weird. But skinnier by the minute.

I'm on vacation in Savannah. Guess what I'm doing for my birthday? Going to a weight-watchers meeting at 8:30 in the morning. Hooray!

I'm in Savannah! Hooray!

Let's just be honest, here. I've joined the WW. I LOVE it. It's the best thing that's ever happened to me. If you're fat, you should immediately drop your computer, run over to your nearest WW, and sign up right away. I've been on it for only three weeks, and I've lost 8.6 pounds. Also, I went to Italy and ate whatever I wanted for one of those ( Read more... )

Today I happened to be driving by a consignment sale, so I stopped. $19 and one pirate ship later, I left. I had a bag full of toys and a pirate ship under one arm, and Lucas under the other. I didn't happen to have my stroller with me. Then, with my remaining dollar, I went to the Soho Hero and made one dollar worth of copies. And that's where my ( Read more... )

For a while now I've been dressing like my mother. I've been bigger than I've ever been in my life, and so I've been trying to hide it. Then I went to Ross a few weeks ago. I love Ross. I buy a lot of Lukey's toys there because they're extra cool and extra cheap. Sometimes they're made in China. What can I say, I'm a rebel. Anyways, That fateful ( Read more... )

We're in Rome!!...doing what romans do...I think. We've been riding buses and catching trains and looking at things. We've decided to stay here in the Rome for the whole week. We like our bed and breakfast thingy that much, plus it's cheaper and less hassle. We're planning a few side trips to Ostia Antica and Naples/Pompeii/Mt. Vesuvius. Many ( Read more... )

Well, it's just way too complicated to get to Greece. So we're just going to explore Italy a little more. Remember our friend Napoleon? He was exiled to the island of Elba, so we're gonna go visit that. And Florence. Strangely, I'm more excited about Elba than Florence. I mean, I like art, but I like to focus on history my first go-round. Then when ( Read more... )

As a fun little twist of fate, I have a cold. I did everything I could to NOT get this cold from Lucas, but I'm doomed to get every cold I ever come into contact with. Italy will be no fun if I'm deaf from flying with a stuffy nose. Boo.

Next week I'm going to Italy. And Greece. You know, a quick breeze through Rome and Athens. Plus I'm detouring a little to Delphi and Mycenae. No, Lucas isn't invited. He's staying with my sister and my mother-in-law. When i say "I" I mean "we." You know, like me and my husband. I plan to see everything. Really fast. There probably won't be ( Read more... )
