My homecoming on Saturday was wonderful. I was greeted with a Welcome Home banner and balloons:
And also with a cake (made by Tim’s mom), and a homemade sign made by David:
Margaret ran into the living room, giggling her Margaret giggle, which continued for minutes.
And then the real fun began.
Margaret has decided to punish me for [...]
But of course, I have a few suggestions to make it even better:
1. “To go” cups. I like to take my coffee with me. The only place to get a coffee to go is at Starbucks, and they are few and far between.
2. Faster service. I realize that we are way too fast-paced here in [...]
I’m still processing my trip to Paris. We saw so much, and I learned so much about French and European history, that I need time to process it all. (Although I don’t think I’ll ever keep all of the King Louis straight – what’s the plural of King Louis? – couldn’t they have used a [...]
Bonjour…we’ve been running around since our arrival in Paris on Saturday morning.
Wow. There are a lot of churches in Paris. And we’re on a mission to see every one.
Not sure how much I said before about the purpose of this trip. DePaul University was founded by priests from the Congregation of the Mission, also known [...]
I mentioned in yesterday’s blog post that I’m leaving for Paris on Friday. I’m going with a group of DePaul leaders, to spend a week “walking in the footsteps of St. Vincent DePaul.” (It’s like a pilgrimage, but with less spirituality.) It’s an all-expenses paid trip to tour Paris, learn about St. Vincent and the Vincentian [...]
My friend Stephanie commented to me on Saturday that she doesn’t know how I do all that I do. I don’t think I do any more or any less than anyone else does, but I’m very intentional in deciding how I spend my time. (Other people may be every bit as intentional, but I don’t [...]
One person going out of his or her way can make all the difference.
I blogged earlier about my frustration with Pampered Chef; specifically, the Web site navigation, system deficiencies, and customer service wait times. On Saturday, Tim ran into our friend Mark, who works for Pampered Chef, and told him about my frustrations. Yesterday at [...]
(In reverse order):
10. Still not adjusted to Daylight Savings Time
9. Thought Madonna was following me on Twitter, only to find out it wasn’t THAT Madonna.
8. Felt unpopular because everyone else got the new Facebook homepage before me.
7. Don’t like the new Facebook homepage now that I have it.
6. Too busy to blog.
5. Thought after Cincinnati [...]
I don’t know who’s idea it was to move up the start of Daylight Saving Time, but I’d like to give the person a piece of my mind.
First, some background. Each year, I’m caught off-guard by how much my body is affected by the change to DST (the change back in the Fall doesn’t bother [...]
I love everything about Pampered Chef products except the experience of buying them. (I just heard a loud “click” created by all of the men closing this post. That’s okay, I’ll try to make the next post about sports. Or not.)
To clarify, I like the Pampered Chef party part a lot. (I think I’ll say [...]
