Umm, I don’t think we’re in London anymore…
Our first day in California, we woke up to bright blue skies and the SUN… and it was 70 degrees the entire time!
Such a contrast to the dark, dank, and dreary winter we left behind, huh?
The overdose on Vitamin D clearly made me gitty as I kept asking [...]
Okay. So, I lied on Facebook.
We didn’t actually go house hunting in San Francisco after all. Being completely unfamiliar with the Bay Area, I had no concept of how much of it was considered “San Francisco”.
(i.e. We used to live in Flower Mound, Texas, but no one knows where that heck that is so, just [...]
After 18 hours of flying (+ layover) across an ocean and then across the country, we’ve made it to San Francisco safe and sound for the next part of our crazy adventure.
Just like on the flights to London, Avery was a total champ, completely content to stay in his seat, play with cars, and watch [...]
I’m a big believer that there’s a reason for everything. God has a larger plan for all of us and the like, but I just could not understand the reason for sending us back to the States so soon.
I mean, the “bigger” reason… beyond visas and global economic collapses.
Sure, Mike has a great job waiting [...]
Wow! SO politically incorrect, except I really am talking about Indian (spices) and this was my very first Thanksgiving to do the cooking.
There’s some irony in the fact that I had to move to England (i.e. the land pilgrims were escaping) to finally roast my first turkey.
I was a little apprehensive, especially when I woke [...]
This past weekend, Mike and I put in a DVD for Avery and sat down to cull through the the stacks of international shipping bids we’ve received this week… and all without ever lifting a finger.
I went on a site called www.intlmovers.com, typed in the necessary info, and presto! several bids came by way of [...]
I stayed up way too late watching the BBC’s election coverage…
WAY TOO LATE!
I woke up today suffering from what I can only call an “Election Hangover”, but unlike past hangovers, there was no morning-after walk of shame…
So, was I shocked that Texas when to McCain? Uh, NO!!
However, I like to think that two little absentee [...]
The leaves in London are turning beautiful crimson, amber, yellow, and purple, but back home in Dallas the only colors that matter this weekend are orange and red.
Yep, it’s Texas-OU weekend. Yew-haw!
To Mike’s Sooner-bred family, it probably comes as a shock that I know that… or even care. (Go Longhorns!) As much as I pretend [...]
Our upcoming Presidential Election has made it a truly THRILLING time to be an American abroad!
Before moving to the UK, I had no idea who’s the mayor of London (Boris Johnson), or even the Prime Minister (Gordon Brown)…
Like any other typical American, I didn’t care and why should I?
None of their policies or regulations affected [...]
Look what arrived in the post this week…
Inside… a recipe for their “Best Ever Apple Pie“. Coincidence?
American Mom says,
"Mind your manners"
