Vacation wrap-up

Missy — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 17:40:38 +0000

First off, thanks to all of you who expressed doubt in my estimate of when Abby will have her preschool classroom completely under her control. I tend to agree with you, three weeks was a rather conservative estimate. Especially since her teacher told me at pickup yesterday, “You have a very bright young lady [...]

In exactly 34 days, Mom, Brian, Abby and I will be boarding an airplane and heading to Florida to begin Operation: Make Abby’s Head Explode. This is also known in some circles as Abby’s first trip to Walt Disney World, which will coincide with her 4th birthday.

We’ve been [...]

In the Motor City

Wednesday was a long day. It started out innocently enough, what with getting Abby signed up for swim lessons and successfully navigating lunch. But then I got caught up in updating a PowerPoint deck and almost didn’t notice when it was time to leave for the airport.

Abby, Mom and I piled into [...]

What happens in Europe stays in Europe… or not

Missy — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:16:14 +0000

I need a t-shirt that says “I survived a European adventure with a bunch of teenagers!” Although, come to think of it, that would be a bit wordy for a t-shirt. Let me tell you though, that the verb “survived” still feels like the correct one. Maybe someday it will be “remember fondly” or [...]

I’m back, and I’m tired

Missy — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 20:41:34 +0000

OMG, you guys! I still have a blog! And I remembered the password and everything all by myself!

So I’ve been away for approximately 80 lightyears, having gone to Maine and then to London, Paris, Adelboden and Lucerne before flying home through Zurich. And I know, poor me, to be tired after what amounts to 3 [...]

Holy crap, we have a lot of stuff we’re dragging with us on vacation! It’s 95% piled in the front hallway. Looking at it all stacked to the ceiling, I can’t help but wonder about the physics of cramming THAT much stuff into the trunks of 2 Toyota Priuses (Prii?).

Despite our best efforts, [...]

I’m baaaack … from London

Missy — Tue, 25 May 2010 18:29:07 +0000

Didja miss me? Wait, don’t answer that. Unless the answer is yes, in which case, answer. Wait, I’m confused.

Anyway, I’m back from my whirlwind tour of London and Prague with pictures and stories and such. Mom and I had a great time and the conference (i.e the reason we went in the first [...]

Where ya been?

Missy — Wed, 05 May 2010 14:50:41 +0000

In Dallas. At an awful hotel. Really, really bad. So bad it’s taken me this long to even try and write a post about it.

So bad.

The concept was “New York Loft.” The hotel name was NYLO. Get it? NYLOft? Yeah. Lame. The whole thing looked like some Texan’s idea of what a [...]

Travels with Abby

Missy — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:26:35 +0000

We just got back (almost a week ago) from a fun family vacation in Florida with the delightful Miss Abigail. No we didn’t go to Mickey’s place. Not this year anyways (hint, hint). Instead, we stayed in the Sarasota area at Grandma and Bapa’s new winter home.

Our vacation started with a very early [...]

Do you have any ID? (Cross post)
