Honey, I’m homePosted by Alli on January 3, 2008
Home is where the husband is. And my bed. And Fuller’s bed. And a mess I will have to clean up sometime sooner rather than later. Damon has been home since last Thursday and yet there is laundry to be done. I find this somewhat amusing, since I did laundry yesterday at my mom’s house. [...]
December Photo Project: Day 20Posted by Alli on December 20, 2007
Today Damon and I took a trip to Mendelson’s Liquidation. They have so much of stuff you never knew you wanted… but since it is right in front of you, you think you might just need a naked mannequin or restaurant booth or two. There is lots of restaurant equipment, office signs, and old medical [...]
December Photo Project: Day 18Posted by Alli on December 19, 2007
Yesterday our family flew Skybus to Columbus to start our Christmas vacation in Ohio. We have been traveling a lot this year. Flying the friendly skies is always a treat and this trip was no different. Even though it was delayed by half an hour, it didn’t dampen the excit3ment. We all got to sit [...]
Jig and Jog, Home Again for this Sweet HogPosted by Alli on November 25, 2007
Well, that went well. I’m posting from the comfort of my couch, happy to be home amongst the coziness of our four walls. It was raining when we arrived, so we pulled in the important bags and I will gather the rest tomorrow. I have an overwhelming urgency to make a list and figure out [...]
The case of the missing leftoversPosted by Alli on November 24, 2007
When you get married one of the adjustments you have to make is getting used to the extended family. It isn’t just their physical presence or habits, but the traditions and past events that helped make your spouse who he or she is. Damon’s family traditions weren’t too difficult get to used to… but the [...]
Adventures in ThanksPosted by Alli on November 20, 2007
Today we pack up and head south for the big Thanksgiving adventure. I don’t think of it as an adventure, but my dad called yesterday and said he wanted to chat before we left for our adventure. I giggled like his little girl and then proceeded to bitch about my inlaws. In a really nice [...]
HammeredPosted by Alli on November 12, 2007
I got in to Chattanooga around 1 a.m. There was a mishap with my luggage which made me miss my shuttle to Chattanooga. I was able to catch the very next one, but I was so exhausted I cried when I was telling Damon I would be later than scheduled. I am a bit punchy [...]
How long have I been gone?Posted by Alli on November 10, 2007
I’m on day four of my Las Vegas adventures (and it feels like longer), and all the fun and revelry has been the stuff good memories are made of. Today is Postiecon and we are affectionately calling it “the day we get to sit around.” All the walking has really taken a toll on our [...]
A velveteen momentPosted by Alli on November 8, 2007
My travel yesterday was successful in that I arrived in Las Vegas in one piece. My luggage arrived safely and I didn’t get ill at all. I was a bit sore from the four plus hours on the flight, but I am very happy with how it all went. I have been twittering my trip [...]
T-minusPosted by Alli on November 6, 2007
It has been a while since I have been this excited about traveling. I still have quite a bit to do, but since Damon has the crud, I have been busy with other stuff as well. While I still worry about forgetting something important, I still have that zen like feeling that if I forget [...]
