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 [...]

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 [...]
Euro Trip Day 40: Getting to indulge my love of Gothic cathedrals AND geology, all in the same day!
AKA, Why I’m the biggest nerd EVER. :-) On Wednesday we headed up to Prague Castle to check out St. Vitus Cathedral, a HUGE Gothic cathedral. Now, I’ve known since my freshman year of high school in Spanish class, when we learned about Santiago de Compostela in Spain, that I’ve been fascinated by cathedral architecture. [...]

Euro Trip Day 29: Art is long, life is brief.
I’m writing this post quickly because I need to get ready so we can head up to Buda Castle Hill to Matyas Church, where I’m going to a Latin high mass at 10AM. Neat! (I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned it here before, but one of my goals this trip is to go to church in [...]
Euro Trip Day 26: Last stamp day of the trip :-(
Today was our last stamp day of the trip, and I’m oddly sad about it. Honestly, I should have realized it’d be when we crossed into Hungary, but I just wasn’t thinking about it. What’s a stamp day? It’s any day I get a new stamp in my passport. Technically, this isn’t even a NEW [...]

Euro Trip Day 24: In which we ponder why the Balkans only has two kinds of breakfast cereal
You know it was a REALLY slow day if I’m talking about breakfast cereal. As much as I like Zagreb so far, today we ran into a problem that we encountered in Dublin. Namely, that virtually NO museums are open on Mondays. They open on Sundays for a whopping THREE HOURS, but Mondays? Closed. The [...]
Euro Trip Day 15: Another slow day, and I’m not complaining
Before I start my post, I have a question. Who the heck are all of you people? I just glanced at my site stats, and I had 185 page views yesterday. Now I know that in the grand scheme of blogs and things, that that’s not a huge amount, but considering my average page view [...]
Ok, so maybe we got a bit carried away with the strawberry shortcake…
So my cousin Clara and her friend Kate were on their second to last leg of an epic road trip that began in New York and will finish in eastern Washington, and they stayed with us in Sacramento tonight (after driving from the Grand Canyon this morning!!) We dined on Chinese food and finished it [...]
Easter sweets
(Sis, I put these up because I was too tired to finish going through all of the Annie pics. I am *really* backlogged with stuff right now, but I WILL get to them this weekend. Honest.) Here’s some yummy foodstuffs from Easter. :-) . . . . .
