  • Sweet home Chicago

    Vacation Update: The Snook and I have finished the first leg of our trip! We spent the past 4.5 days with the Carbos in Petaluma, CA. It was great to get to spend some time with my nephew Penn and my niece Indie. Our goodbyes today were teary. Now we find ourselves halfway across the country in Chicago, bedding down for the night before driving to Indiana tomorrow. It’s hot here. It will be good to see the rest of my family.

    @mrs_sockvictim very pretty, miss fee!

    @sharre I know exactly how you feel. After 3wks, I bought a pair of Kumfs. (Ugly shoes FTW.) Hang in there! You’ll be awesome. 🙂

    Me and Rodd at the coldest softball game I’ve ever been to. (What is UP, NoCal?!) http://twitpic.com/277cvm Go the might Jalapeños!

    Just said a teary goodbye to @carbolicious and the kids. Now waiting for the bus to SFO and our flight to Chicago…

    @stufromoz @AusVintageGrrl It WAS cold! Hot & sunny in Petaluma, but foggy and freezing on the beach. Brrrrrr!

    Day 2 of vacation. Current tally: Naps taken – 2. Books read – 1. Mangoes eaten – 1. Miles run – 5. Inadvertent swears in front of kids – 1.

    Took the kids to the park. Missed the Ice Cream Man by 2 minutes. My grin masks my sadness. http://twitpic.com/26nu74

    @Lauren_lolly_ Apparently I sound exactly like my mother. I am trying not to dwell on that. 🙂

    @Kimchiboy0208 We’re not there yet! Four days in California with my sister’s family…

    @knitdra No! Rodd actually remarked that this one played something different. I think it varies regionally.

    Games of Settlers of Catan played: 2. Overall score: Snook 2, everybody else 0.

    @drkknits @knitabulous I blame Geraldine, really. 🙂

    @lotsofco I haven’t really planned. Probably FB + Twitter. (I don’t like posting every update to FB, but most will be.)

    I seem to be REALLY enjoying my first toasted marshmallow in, like, 10 years. http://twitpic.com/26c62u

    @supercres Our vote is yes! Nice family-friendly beer garden, food, music…

    @YarnChic_Knity It was molten in the middle and golden outside, just how I like them. I don’t like burnt ones!

    Heading out for my long run. Used #runkeeper to find a route nearby in Petaluma!

    RT @MisterShuffles: I can’t sleep. I’m worried. My mum & dad weren’t born here. What happens to me if they get sent back to where they c …

    I seem to be REALLY enjoying my first toasted marshmallow in, like, 10 years.

    Just completed a 8.25 km run with RunKeeper – 1st run in USA! Hot and sunny. Felt good. .

    On my run in Petaluma this morning, over by the airport.

  • USA!

    Posting might be a bit sporadic – more so than usual – as we are in the USA for 3 weeks visiting the fam. I’ll do a big post when we get home, but check Facebook and Twitter for pics as they happen. (And huge thanks to Issy for watching the house and cats!)

    Read and add comments: USA!
