It’s official - Ron Russo has made an honest woman out of me.
I wasn’t sure what to expect or how I would feel on Friday.  Clearly, the impetus for the wedding was baby blakspring.  This is not to say that we don’t love each other but marriage is a big step and certainly not one [...]

Between the fact that it was my fourth time in Amsterdam, the weather was still cold and rainy, and Ron Russo not owning a camera nor caring much about documenting every moment of our trip, I took very few photos in the city itself.  But I just had to capture this cool Van Gogh mural [...]

My procrastination reaches all new heights as I finally put up photos from Paris, almost TWO months ago.  (With the Netherlands hopefully soon to follow.)  I figured everyone has seen postcard-perfect pictures of iconic Paris so I will try to go a different route and find the quirky.  Do you really want to see another [...]

Today is pretty momentous because Ron Russo is using his first passport for the first time.  As much as I would love to steal him away to Laos or the Galapagos, I figure I need to ease him into it.  So our ten-day trip will include France (probably just Paris) and the Netherlands (definitely Amsterdam, [...]

…and wildlife because Costa Rica had plenty.  And perhaps I’m merely indulging myself since my trip was five weeks ago, but what the hell, how about some photos.
Ultra and I took a day-trip up to the Cano Negro area near the Nicaraguan border.  On the way there we stopped by a restuarant whose owner has [...]

I’ve always been a bit jealous of those people that have all their Christmas shopping done by November.  As much as I would like that to be me, it probably never will due to a cruel combination of procrastination, laziness, shopping-aversion, and being a bad listener.  I would need the other person to pretty much [...]

Thanks to Dene’s last comment, I decided to finally properly go through my London photos and do a little recap.  Since this was my 4th time in London (and the third since 2006), I thought I’d pretty much seen it all, but instead I discovered a London I never knew.  Rather than focusing on the [...]

Running on fumes after landing at JFK airport around 11:30 pm on Sunday night and then being at work at 7:30 am the next morning.  Was tempted to nap when I got home but decided to push through and go to volleyball.  So now it’s almost midnight and I need to get to bed.  London [...]

Just when i wrote a whole post about my totally lame lack of Halloween costume, I have to take it back.  Little Sister found out that I was costume-less and refused to let me go out like that.  She kept insisting that there must be some last-minute get-up we could come up with.  Considering I was [...]

Back in the days of the original blog (that went kabloowie) I was definitely a lot more disciplined.  Even though I don’t think my life was any more exciting then, I still made sure to post something at least two or three times a week.  (Seriously, I even did NaBloPoMo that first November.)  Now it’s [...]
