When going to work on time means going in late
One of the things I absolutely love about my job is its flexibility. Part of it is the nature of the job, and part of it is the way that, over the past two years I’ve worked there, I’ve managed to craft my duties and schedule around what I want, rather than having to keep [...]
Waterbug
I don’t think I’ve mentioned it on here, but I’ve been playing water polo again! [insert your own joke about drowning horses here.] I’m back in the pool three days a week, and I’ve been meaning to take a picture of something reflecting this fact, but I never got around to it until tonight. Not [...]
These signs = serious business
(In an attempt to make my site a bit less cluttered and enable me to post larger pictures, I’ve made some changes to my blog design and layout. Feel free to go to the main page and check it out, and then leave some comments here or whereever on the changes! I like feedback!) :-) [...]

I have a bit of a confession to make. I’ve been back to work for over a month now, and while part of me is enjoying the routine chaos that is my job, the other part of me still wants to be footloose and fancy-free, traveling Europe with my backpack and rail pass. To be [...]

Street chalk art. Of a street. :-)

Euro Trip Day 45: Nuremburg, or Nuremburg, or Nürnberg, or Nuernberg. Several spellings, one city.
I’m trying to play catch up on posts here, so bear with me. :-) ****** On Monday morning, July 19th, we got up, went and availed ourselves of our free breakfast at our hotel, and got our stuff packed to head to the train station. At this point in time, we have packing down to [...]
Sunrise and sunset are my two favorite times of day.
(Sorry about the Facebook “Like” buttons appearing at the top and bottom of each post — I haven’t figured out how to just get them to stay on the top of the post yet. I’ll worry about it when I get home.) :-) Changing light at the Cologne Cathedral, originally uploaded by Kari_Marie. Click on [...]

Euro Trip Days 42, 43, and 44 all rolled into one post
Sorry if I’ve managed to totally bore you all to death with all of the pictures of buildings… but there are more church pictures in this post. Only a couple, though. Promise. :-) On Friday (Day 42) we left Prague and headed to Neusorg, Germany. I had no idea where this was when I booked [...]
