The New York Post

Get it? The New York Post? Haha Sorry I didn't post last week; didn't have much to say and we were busy getting ready to leave -- but I will make a separate post of updates after this one, just to have the vacation content separate from everything else. So let's start with Wednesday! We went out to my parents' house, picked them up and headed to the airport. We ...

new york, new york

We are BACK from vacation. Chase said today he didn't feel like he usually does when we get home from disney, like he needs a "vacation from his vacation" but I sure do. I'm exhausted, my legs are sore, and my face is chapped from walking around in the cold. And I'm stressed but that's a story for another day. Wednesday got off to a rough start. We had to ...

post-vacation ennui

We're home after an amazing long weekend getaway with the family. Wednesday night I finished up packing - was told to bring our D&D stuff, so I needed an extra bag for it - what better than the bag my parents used for the D&D stuff in the 80s? Then thursday morning it was off to Hot Springs! We headed out a little later than we ...

what a drag it is getting old

Last week was Las Vegas for work. It was exhausting. I didn't take just a ton of pictures this year because it was all pretty much the same. Here's the view from my window: I ended up having Lobster Bisque at all 3 client dinner meetings we went to in the evenings. I ranked them all at the end. Dinner #2 was the best, I ranked it a 10. Dinner #1 was the 2nd ...

#MouseEarsforaYear – Trip 2!

It's actually pretty difficult to plan multiple trips at once, but with the way you have to schedule eveeeeeeeryting in advance now it's unavoidable. I was already planning Trip 2 before we even left for Trip 1, and now that we're coming up on Trip 2, I have Trips 3 and 4 in motion. You should see how ridiculously long my Dining Reservations list is! Anyway, Trip 2! Trip 2 is a special trip. We are going ...
