Queen of Rambles

I am so sick and tired of being here. There is a reason we don’t have dogs. While they are fine companions for people who have time, four dirty, shedding dogs is excessive no matter how you look at it. My mom replaced the carpet with laminate flooring, which is a GOOD […]

Guess where we are. Go ahead! Guess!
Oregon.
Guess how long we’ll be here!
Till Saturday!
What a nightmare.
They kept cancelling our flight from San Fransico to DC and my mom is simply unable to take any more time off work to drive us over to Medford. After a whole lot of hassle, hours on hold, […]

Just got a call from United–flight to DC cancelled! Whoo-hoo! We’ve been re-booked and will be taking a red-eye this evening, which is good for Erik and bad for us. Hopefully that flight won’t get cancelled. Maybe the “big storm” they keep talking about is actually a big storm. Usually […]

We get to go home tomorrow! We get to go home tomorrow!
This trip has not been anything like a vacation. Whining babies, bossy sisters, strapless dresses, endless dog hairs and grouchy mothers all add up to vacation hell. Poor Mike must really love me to come to this insane place. […]

Ok, you guys are demanding pictures so I’ve uploaded a whole bunch of them to my flickr page. I wasn’t able to take photos during the wedding and Mike was busy entertaining grandma (Erik was in the nursery) so there aren’t any of the actual ceremony. One of Lexie’s friends took a bunch […]

My sister’s wedding is finally over and we can all breathe a HUGE sigh of relief. I especially feel sorry for her good stepson and his girlfriend. She treats them like her personal slaves and I’m not exactly sure why they go along with it. He’s had such a rough life that […]

Whew! I finally have a few minutes to post again. I really should be working on my job stuff since I found out we have to have everything in by the end of February (earlier than we had originally been led to believe), but I hate it when I can’t update my journal. […]

Hey hey, what do you know? One of our neighbors has an unsecured network! Score! Of course, that doesn’t do us a whole lot of good since we have three toddlers running around. There is never any peace.
Today things are mostly going well. My sister’s kids are the whiniest, crankiest, […]

Once again, we are prepared to fly away into the wild blue yonder. Blue yonder would be nice. We had a mini-snow storm today and it was white. A white yonder does not bode well for travel out of this winter-panicked city. Ugh.
I don’t know what’s up with Erik, but we […]

Guess who got up at 5 am. Guess who has a temperature of 101.5F. Guess who is supposed to be on a cross-country flight tomorrow. Guess who thinks this is not shaping up to be a good trip!
