So this weekend was fantastic! My friend Stephanie came into town on her own European adventure and stayed with me for a few days. Granted, it was a rocky start and a rockier ending, but the in-between times were great :) I met Stephanie at Amsterdam ... Read more >

So, this is my person-specific blog. The way it works is, you find your name, and read the message. I'm over-explaining so that there are no questions :)

Please pass my sister, Kera, with a well-deserved "A". It would make all of our ... Read more >

I know it's been a few days, but remember- I took notes this trip! So, continuing with my Madrid description for those of you that don't read in bulk (i.e. Rochelle)... Wednesday was the second part of my museum tour. This time I went to Museo del ... Read more >

Yesterday I finally made it out to Amsterdam! Yeah, yeah, I know, it's probably supposed to be your first stop upon entering the Netherlands, but we all know I'm a little late to the party most of the time. Anyway, I planned a day of museums followed ... Read more >

Actually, it was a pretty nice week. I haven't worked much at all, it being Easter and all. The kids have had a few days off, and the Parents haven't scheduled any flights, so therefore, lots of lazy days for Katie.

For all my shopping nay-sayers, I just wanted to update my boot shopping experience(s). I was looking for a pair with black and brown so I could just get one pair for everything for around 40 Euro if possible. Instead, I found a shoe shop today in ... Read more >

Well today was a pretty fun day. I have been kind of laying low (read as sitting on my ass and doing nothing productive) for the past few days, so I decided I really needed to get out and do something. I had the day off, so I called one of my Couchsurfing ... Read more >

So today was maybe my favorite day here so far. I met some great people, listened to some great music, and am now curled up in a nice comfy bed to sleep in tomorrow! I'll expand: As I've already told everyone (too many times, probably) I am becoming ... Read more >

So yesterday I decided to try my hand at getting to Den Bosch on the bike, which apparently the other au pairs did frequently. Well good for them. It is the most confusing damn thing I've ever seen/done in my life. The Mom gave me directions (kind ... Read more >

So as previously mentioned, I decided yesterday to try out couchsurfing.com. It's a fantastic website that connects travelers to people who are open to touring around or letting you crash on their couch should you need a place to stay (or not want ... Read more >

So even though I completely wiped out on the stupid buckfeet and still can't fully extend my bruised and gashed leg without it hurting, I haven't stopped laughing all day I don't think. I'm addicted to this podcast called "Never Not Funny"... Read more >

...though it is the color of the formerly white pants I was wearing to pick up the kids from school from lunch today. Here are the facts: As we've previously discussed, I'm not very good at biking. I don't even feel very stable riding the old bike ... Read more >

So today was my first real day-trip. The Family put all these travel books and brochures and such in my room for me to look at, and I found a good one by Lonely Planet about the Netherlands. So I was off to Utrecht. So as a Texan, I'm not entirely ... Read more >

So Alex Garland had an excellent point. I don't have a blog. It's definitely the best way to not have to repeat my stories two hundred times, though as I've already typed an entirely perfect blog and then deleted it (I'm a dumbass), this will not ... Read more >
