So my surprise December trip is to Cheltenham, England. I’m visiting Cheltenham because a friend is quitting her job in order to raise kids and work with her husband’s firm. My appearance at her going away party this evening is a surprise—and the reason my suitcase was stuffed coming here was because I’ve brought her […] I am pleased to announce that I am ready for the next week. On the home front, I’ve done laundry, the dishes are (about) to be washed and put away, the beds are made, everything is dusted and put away. My suitcase is stuffed—not another square inch of free space remains (although it does not […] Just in time for last minute gift giving, Burger King has released Flame, a Whopper Scented men’s cologne: A Whopper you can eat… Still can’t think what to get him for Christmas?

He informed me that it wasn’t drying quickly because the room was cold. […] The Living Room. The plumber showed up and removed the radiators from the wall—he was merely an hour late. Unfortunately it seems that the wall demolition and rebuilding will happen tomorrow; I just wish I knew what time it was going to happen. For the record, it’s 0°C outside right now. Do you think that Obama wanted to change the governor of Illinois? Wednesday, I am having the radiators in my living room fixed. To do this, the radiator will be removed from the wall, the wall will be ripped out, new drywall installed, and the radiator will be reinstalled. This set of actions will occur twice as there are two radiators in said room. The workmen are […] Until I moved to Germany, one of the daily constants in my life was a newspaper.

In elementary school, I would read […] |
