Flight One: Chatty Seatmate Suck “We’ve just had two days from hell,” an older woman says, hovering over my seat in the bulkhead as I fumble (too late) to get my headphones in my ears. “You just wouldn’t believe what happened to us. First, our flight has issues, then we get stuck on the tarmac,Continue reading “When travel sucks”

Goodbye, America
I’m quiet on the drive to Dulles from my house. I’ve already cried saying goodbye to the pups, and now, staring out the window as the suns rays just begin to kiss the tops of the trees, I hold back tears. I’m leaving America. I am leaving the life I know. I don’t take myContinue reading “Goodbye, America”
‘Twas the night before Expat Life
“You’re moving to Thailand?” It’s been since February when I knew my future would take me to Thailand and I would become an expat. For nearly five months, my life has been in this stop-wait-move pattern. Stop. Wait. Move. Stop. Wait. Move. It gets tiresome after awhile. And severely emotionally draining.

Why I will never be a T-Mobile customer again: a photo essay
There are few companies I don’t like: United, PEPCO, Chik-Fil-A and T-Mobile. Why? United = horrid customer service and stupid fees that change PEPCO = heads up their collective big-money arses Chik-fil-A = narrow-minded PR nightmare T-Mobile = crappy phones, crappy fees and the most epic of all fails ever — no service. During myContinue reading “Why I will never be a T-Mobile customer again: a photo essay”
Coming home
Pulling in to my neighborhood, I can feel my chest tighten. The trees. When did they get so big? The homes. When did they get so old? “Welcome to my house,” I say to Erica as I turn the car off. Home. We. Are. Home. I open the bright red door, the same bright redContinue reading “Coming home”
