A weekend with the Aunties

June 1, 2009

This weekend was spent with the Aunties and the Mom. And it was wonderful. I have incredible women in my life. They are tenacious, infinitely loving and are the constant source of laughter and joy in my life. In every moment that I am with them, they teach me something new. The Aunties blessed me […]

My Spanish tutor broke up with me

May 12, 2009

He said that it’s him. Not me. So why do I feel so hurt? Maybe it’s because I’m paying this man to teach me Spanish and HE is the one rejecting ME! Is that even allowed?! When I first read his email – that it’s not working for him, that my schedule isn’t balanced between […]

April 15, 2009

It has been awhile. I’ve been busy living. And recovering from our crazy weekend in Mallorca. Everyone else got sick but me (knock on wood) but I am still recovering from the lack of sleep we suffered two weeks ago. STILL! And it seems life hasn’t really slowed down since.

It ain’t always a perfect daily dream

March 12, 2009

I’m not sure how much of this is reflected in my last few posts but my life is really insane at the moment. The pace with which I’m going through my days and the amount of stuff that I have to do within each 24-hour pocket boggles my mind. It’s no wonder that, on top […]

The tease of The Travel Bookshop

March 1, 2009

One of the best things about living in Notting Hill is the fact that on any given Sunday morning, I can walk ten minutes down the road and enter the treasure trove called The Travel Bookshop.  This is the same Travel Bookshop that is featured in Notting Hill, the movie.  It’s the type of place that […]
