Uh…that doesn't look right…
A couple of weekends ago we learned that going to the movies really is an all-day affair when you live out here where we do. The closest movie theater is almost an hour and a half away. When you have a 3 hour round-trip drive, a 2+ hour movie, and then you factor in the … Read moreA Day at the Movies
Those of you who saw my last post, East Meets West – A Room with a View, probably got the impression from my bedroom window photos that I live pretty close to the ocean, right? Yeah, I thought so, too…that is, until I actually tried to walk there. One of the things I’m quickly learning about … Read moreSo Close!!! (And yet, soooooo far…)
All of the pictures in this post were taken from my bedroom window. (Not bragging, just…a very lucky girl!!)
I’ve been in Oregon for 25 days now, and I just wanted to share my first impressions of the place… These first few pictures were taken on the last day of our cross-country drive: Obviously, we made it here eventually. Here’s my first glimpse when I woke up the next morning: I’ve heard it said … Read moreEast meets West
The last day of our 5-day adventure was a combination of awesome and awful. We started out our day with a flat tire (awful), but fortunately, there was a Commercial Tire center literally a block away from our hotel – in fact, the parking lots were connected, so you could get to it without ever … Read moreDay 5…It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…
Um…ok, so is anyone surprised that I wrote this blog back on March 16th, and went to bed without ever posting it, and then never blogged about our last day on the road at all?

Today was Day 2 on the road from Maryland to Oregon. So far, we’ve traveled through 7 states: Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana yesterday, and Indiana, Illinois and Missouri today. I know everyone is waiting with baited breath to hear my horror stories about the nightmare that is traveling with 5 cats, but … Read moreWhat a Difference a Day Makes…
This about sums it up: It’s late and I’m tired, so I’ll sum today up with bullet points: Woke up at 4:15am, and never got back to sleep Drove my mother and daughter to the airport at 6:15am so they could FLY to Oregon. Biotches. Got a late start on the road – 10am The … Read moreDay 1: The Move
Let me just say first of all, we haven’t even left town yet. We’re currently holed up in a hotel near the airport, while we finish wrapping things up here in Maryland. The humans came to the hotel last night, but we didn’t bring the cats over until today. While the movers were at my … Read moreCAT-astrophe #1
Today marks the beginning of the Great Oregonian Migration. (More commonly referred to “our big move to Oregon”.) Last night was my last night at my old condo, and I have to admit, when I crawled into bed and realized it was for the last time there, I may possibly have teared up a little. … Read moreAnd so, it begins…
