Chris leaves this week for yet another trip abroad. It’s a good thing, really, as it means that business is good. But it’s tough for the family. And it’s definitely getting harder for Amy. Today, when we were in the car going to the Arboretum, Amy asked her dad, “Why do [...]
Amy isn’t taking Chris’ trip well this time at all… She started with the tears on Friday and it hasn’t gotten any better yet.
Normally, I take Chris to the airport for his trips. Not this time. It was far too complicated with pickup from school and rush hour. So, instead, he [...]
There’s no doubt that this has been a busy week at my house - what with it being my last day at b5media, Amy having a visit at Children’s Hospital, birthdays and work obligations… So I know the kids are exhausted.
That said, the complete meltdown this morning? Totally didn’t see it [...]
It’s lovely, really. But two things:
Who decided that I needed decaf coffee? I only had two choices, decaf or decaf. Wha-huh?
I appreciate the little Gilchrist & Soames soaps and shampoos. They’re pretty and they smell nice. But who’s great idea was it to make the mouthwash and the shampoo the same color? I’m just sayin’.
I’ve finally arrived in Chicago. It is remarkably different from Philly, which I didn’t expect (you cannot hail a cab in this town, despite the fact that my cab driver told me there are 7000 cabs in Chicago - he says no one wants to walk, and no one wants to drive).
It is quite breathtaking. [...]
I am off to Chicago.
The commute to the airport was remarkably easy. Bus to train station, train station to airport.
Terminal D, got it. Automatic check-in, got it. This couldn’t get any better, right?
Right. Cause that’s where the easy part ended.
Annoying encounter #1. I was standing in the security check point [...]
Anybody else headed that way?
I’m really excited! I’m going to be speaking at the BlogHer conference on… you guessed it, tax and blogging. More details later.
Hooray!
This picture of Amy in Pittsburgh makes me smile*, which is good because I need something to make me smile this morning.
Note the expression, the boogers, the melting snow in the background… The hat that doesn’t quite fit (nor the jacket) because Amy insisted on wearing her sister’s clothes. It kind of sums [...]
Gosh, traveling can be so nerve-wracking. I’m back. I love Pittsburgh. I am glad to be home. And I promise more bloggity goodness later.
