Well, COMPLETELY against my will, and apparently for the single purpose of getting my blog juices going again, I watched The Bachelorette premiere tonight. I didn’t necessarily mean to. But, some of my family, inclusive of twenty-somethings are here for the night and convinced me to put it on. My 22 year old was justContinue reading “Dungeons and Douchebags: The Wackelors of The Bachelorette”

Freeing Fridays: Walking in the Rain
I think I may be the only person who was genuinely excited about the storms today. I finally got to wear my new, glittered rain boots, so rain didn’t bother me at all! I never got to do much in the rain as a kid. If we had rain boots, I don’t really remember them,Continue reading “Freeing Fridays: Walking in the Rain”
Crying Over Cracked Eggs
I have been a pretty tough and optimistic cookie lately. You know the old “power through, I am tough, it could be worse” method…I have even kept my mouth relatively shut vs confrontation (shocking, I know). But, when I just pulled into my parking lot after a long week already, I discovered my eggs, thatContinue reading “Crying Over Cracked Eggs”
Stop Saying 2016 Was Bad
Yep. I typed it. Out loud. And I will give you all a few minutes to delete me out of fury before we move on to other sentences. I’ll start by saying that I fully recognize some REALLY crappy things happened on 2016. Good people died. Politics made us rethink what the living heck isContinue reading “Stop Saying 2016 Was Bad”

What I have been most excited about for this part of the trip is the family aspect. I have been anticipating a true Spanish family feel andContinue reading “Madrid Is For Lovers….And For Me “
La Sagrada Familia = las Speechless….Leaving Barcelona
I would have never guessed that I would physically feel so much attachment and sadness to leave each place we have visited. But I genuinely do feel it. It hurts to leave. Barcelona showed up and left a permanent mark on my heart and spirit!!! As I sit on the rainy train back to Madrid,Continue reading “La Sagrada Familia = las Speechless….Leaving Barcelona “
Fancy Pants and French Don’t Mix…
Biggest accomplishment today? Hailing a cab in the pouring down rain in Barcelona. Pretty much a city girl now! 🙂 I love that no two cab rides here have taken the same route! Its afforded us to see other parts of the city , albeit speedy! It was a national holiday here so the townContinue reading “Fancy Pants and French Don’t Mix…”
