rain, rain, DON’T go away!
This afternoon, I could feel my mood brightening. Not because I had gotten in two full days of work back again at my high-productivity levels. Not because I had also walked for 90 minutes on the treadmill and gotten much of my drudgery and packing done. Not even because Rob took the girls out skating

treading water
Once again, I have arrived in that dreaded spot where I feel like I am simply treading water. Sure, I am going to new places and seeing new things (last weekend California, this weekend Harry Potter World)…but somehow, that just isn’t enough. I feel somewhat stuck. Honestly, I know that I’m stuck in a great
Photo Friday: Colors of California
Labor Day weekend, I took my first non-work, kid-free trip (other than an overnight getaway here and there) in over a decade. While it was easier to not have to be in charge and not have to make sure we had all the necessary supplies, I did miss sharing the trip with the girls. This
Thursday Tip: The Little Extras
What are the little things that you bring on every trip that make a big difference? As I wrote a couple of weeks ago, I bring a handful of zip-top bags on every trip. Some other things I like to pack include: Canvas bags – Along with using reusable bags for groceries, an extra bag
Photo Friday: Round
Photo taken on 4 Sep 2010 in Palo Alto, CA. Yes, I realize that it is not Friday, but Thursday. However, I’ve decided to begin submitting my weekly contribution to the Photo Friday contest (not that my photos are in the same league with the other entries), and the submissions are due by midnight.
Bazaars and Markets in Turkey
Travels in Turkey, Part 4 of 12 One of the things that I love to do when I am away from home is to visit the local street markets and bazaars. Generally, these foreign markets are so fascinating that the girls enjoy them every bit as much as I do. We get a great taste
Quiet before the Storm
I sit here quietly in the Admirals Club in San Jose. With almost five hours stretching ahead of me, and with very few items from my “list” than can be accomplished from here. It is a strange feeling to know that there’s nothing pressing, and I can take my time organizing various things at a

Multi-taskers R US
The other day I was working on a project for work and also chatting via IM with a coworker in France. She worried that she was keeping me form my work, but I reassured her that I was very steadily working through my tasks while working. Instead of the chat being a distraction, the chat
Photo Friday: Ballooning Cappadocia
While we were in Turkey this summer, we signed up for a two-day tour of Cappadocia. While I don’t like tour bus tours in general, this seemed to be our best option to get out to Cappadocia and see the surreal landscape. One thing that disappointed me about choosing the tour option was that I
Photo Friday: Warm
Photo taken on 17 Jul 2010. Warm isn’t hot. Right now, we are still HOT. The word “warm” makes me think of bundling up against chilly weather, and I’m lacking photos of that nature at the moment! Yes, I realize that it is not Friday, but Thursday. However, I’ve decided to begin submitting my weekly
ET, Donโt Phone MY Home
….because you will not get an answer. Leave a message, but there’s no telling when I’ll get back to you. It drives some visitors to our house nuts; I do not answer our home telephone. “Aren’t you going to get that?” Nope. Pretty much anyone I would care to talk to knows that the only
