Today, I started the first of three ‘protein’ days on my new eating plan. It sucks. And I am cranky. Detoxing off of carb overload is extremely hard but the benefits will be worth it. The eating plan is high-protein (with good complex carb) small meals every three hours (sort of […]

Next month will be anniversary numero deux with my hunka hunka burnin’ LURVE. The past six months have been a whole lotta stress. I think we are both beginning to rebound a bit. We could definitely benefit from some down time, some away time and copious amounts of alcoholic beverages, with a […]

Okay, So! Has anyone seen I Am Legend? It was an interesting movie. I loved seeing the classic art work hung in his apartment pilfered from Manhattan museums. Sweet!
But the one thing that I could NOT get over was just how friggin ADORABLE the German Shepherd was. German […]

Today, my week of hellfire has ended. I finished my project and it is out the door. I don’t want to look at another laptop until I am 84 years old. Or until work starts tomorrow morning, whichever comes first.

Since I have had to work this weekend, Rohan agreed to assault the dreaded pile of laundry today. And from the call I made home moments ago, I believe he has been victorious.

Rohan is now in the unique position of not being able to understand our accents at times. I did struggle with this in Australia a bit. The funny thing is that the best misunderstandings always happen when other people are around.
My personal favorite faux pas was when Rohan’s family was over at […]

We made it to the States! We are on our second day of work and I think the jetlag is starting to wane a bit. Our move couldn’t have gone better. We had help from some absolutely fantastic friends (Thank you Jennifer and Steve, and Meghan and Cam - Care packages are […]

Nerves are frayed. There has already been one major blow-up, one make-up and one pep talk. Every time we turn around dates are getting moved or conditions are changing.
We found out the quote to move the pets did not include deliver from the airport in Kansas. Just to get the […]

Rohan called me this morning from Sydney. He was granted his visa on the spot. This process, although costly, and highly annoying, has gone remarkably fast.
I am tempted to take back every negative thing I have said about this lovely immigration process in the past couple of months, but considering that my taxes […]
