my very best 'editorial' face
for those of you who have never watched
America's Next Top Model
it just means grumpy

I am very sad that I never bought any Matryoshka dolls when I was in Russia.  We saw some in a souvenir shop in Moscow but I was holding out to buy a set from a local craftsperson.  Needless to say, said meeting did not occur.

biggest burgers ever
and the coolest names too
mine was cat stevens
CNN's was aussie crawl

It was a perfect storm - a pub with acoustics so bad you had to screech to be heard, a very early phonecall on Saturday morning that we couldn't get back to sleep after, and lingering germs from CNN's cold all combined on the weekend to ensure I developed a cold on Sunday, making it nice and ripe for my interview on Monday.  Yes, that's right.  My one and only Australian interview thus far and I had to be incubating germs.  Lovely.

Never fear, I didn't let those pesky viruses and bacteria get the better of me!  I am the preferred candidate pending references!  All I need is for my old bosses to say nice things about me... I'm pretty sure they will; wouldn't you?

  3. you are so lucky to have traveled so many places! We were planning a trip to Italy the summer I had Violet (we obviously didn't go). I love Matryoshka dolls! We used to call Violet our little Babooska because we thought she looked like a little russian doll :)

  5. Hi Kathleen - I am definitely blessed to have seen so much of the world but it's all swings and roundabouts. I have to admit I am somewhat jealous of those people who have that stability of living in the same area and knowing the same people all their lives.

    Babushka is a very cute nickname for your very cute baby!

    Do you still have plans to visit Europe?
