Hiya, Internets! So I’ve been quite busy lately spending 4 weeks working in London and 2 weeks entertaining my favorite parents. This is what I did: National Portrait Gallery which, among other things, houses all of those portraits of Henry VIII’s wives that you see in books and never actually realized were real, also this [...]
When we stayed with Stephan’s sister and family at Christmas, they made us play Guitar Hero approximately the entire time we were there. “Please,” we’d say, “can’t we just go to bed? It’s been 14 hours.” “YOU WILL PLAY,” they’d say. “You will play and you will like it. And stop adoring our children.” Because [...]
Sometimes, if you’re lucky, your mom will give you helpful advice like: try ironing with some fabric sizing next time. Of course, now that Stephan is fully MBAed and no longer has any stories about full schedules to tell me, I’ve already managed to foist off all button-down-shirt-ironing duties. But I hear it works great. [...]
Guess what, Internets? We are still here; we have not passed go, we have not collected £200. Still waiting on a work permit, which means still waiting to go to San Francisco to apply for our work visas, which means still no tickets even. Not still waiting to move out of our apartment though! Or [...]
Before the CD lapsed into obsolescence, my music listening program went like this: listen to one CD over and over until I get sick of it and then don’t listen to it for a few years. Now with the iPod, I can at least listen to multiple albums of the same artist on a constant [...]
Remember that one time a little over a month ago when I posted about the horrible injustice of working a 40-hour week? That was before I worked a 70-hour week to do all of the desktop publishing and 70+ graphics for a proposal. While I was sick. So that was pretty awesome. Two weeks later, [...]
My dad learned how to drive at the same age at which I learned how to ride a bike (8 years). One cannot, by definition, be a good parent if one forgets to feed one’s children just because it is the job of one’s husband who happens to be out of town.
It was nice and warm today: a balmy 80 or so degrees (F). Don’t tell my dad, but walking home in the sun kind of made me want to do yardwork. I’m not sure what it was about the nice warm sun today that inspired this bizarre desire. Although I would estimate a full 80 [...]
I like to think that my parents were in charge of Katie Beta. Moving out of their house marked the release of Katie 1.0, and getting married bumped me up to Katie 2.0. Not like there was anything lacking in previous versions; the new ones just have more features you never knew you were missing. [...]
