I hate Laundry!

For the first time in 10 years of marriage I held an informal boycott against the laundry. And of course it just kept growing and I remained stubborn! I mean come on -why does laundry grow so rapidly (and keep in mind we are only 2)and I know that some reading this are not playing the old violin of mercy for me - but really you have to understand. Laundry is about as bad as grocery shopping...I would rather clean toilets!
And so as you can imagine, this weekend I humbly carried 8 loads of laundry down to the laundry room and began the grueling task of washing, drying, folding, ironing, hanging - you get the picture. But being a bit A.D.H.D as I am ... I got distracted and it seemed easier to just pile it into the baskets sitting conveniently near by. Soooo...5 HUGE loads later - I have made a bigger mess for myself and now have insured several more hours ironing for myself. See for yourself (this by the way is a king size bed)imagine the load.

I should be smarter than this. So lesson learned...laundry added back to the daily task list. Pays off in the long run as much as I hate to admit it!

AHHH - London!

Another business trip takes me to Europe...this time England, Germany and Italia!I took a ton of pics in London because we had one day in which we had 6 hours non business related to hit the town. One of my colleagues had never been to London and since it is like a second home for me - we hit it and conquered it in 6 hours. It was amazing and since he forgot his camera - I was the picture maniac for us!

We had a blast but when we woke up the next morning to catch the flight to Berlin, we really felt the whirlwind of the night before. I am getting older...and at times like that one I suddenly felt it. Oh how I hate reality!

Here I am in London just outside the Tower of London - it was FREEZING and wet as England always is!


Here is a magnificent pic of the Tower Bridge (many people think this is the London Bridge)...


Big Ben...

And of course Hard Rock LONDON for the famous wall dedicated to U2! I can't pass it up, I think I go each time I am in London! I think the crazy U2 fan in me hopes BONO and the clan just might show up! (everyone has to have a dream!)


I am grounded with no more business trips until first quarter of 2009 so it will be nice to just chill for a bit. I always love to travel but it is not the best on business except for First Class flights on British Airways...of that I have no compliants!

Ethan = 1 Month Old

So here is an updated look at little Ethan...Jon and I are having so much fun playing with our little nephew and spoiling him ROTTEN. He is getting blessed this Sunday and I am sure Alicia will have him looking as handsome as ever. She often has several different outfit changes during the day - he always very well groomed!

Here is Auntie Ashley who is in LOVE with Ethan...

Proud Mama and Aunt Angela - what a great Pic...

And of course - I love him a little bit too!

ENTER : Ethan Kenneth Moeller

Alicia and Brett had their baby this past week.

Baby boy - as dad would say "Call sign" Ethan Kenneth Moeller!

He came bouncing into the world at 8lbs-6oz, 20inches long with a load of dark hair and definitely Alicia's cheeks.

Daddy, Mama and baby are all well. Ethan has been in the NICU due to a few complications so Jon and I do not have pictures with him in our arms yet. He is due to be released the end of next week.

Here are a few photos to enjoy!

What the heck is up with MIRO?

On the right side of our blog we listed some of our favorite things...one is naming Miro paintings - it is contagious, we love it - you will see. We added MIRO paintings to the bottom of our blog - can you guess what the names are - "Bird on Woman" is not the only title! Guess and then check it - it will make you laugh!

BLOG - Memory Game

Carrie - I am playing - not just spying!

I got this from Carrie's blog who stole it from Maren's blog. If you are reading this, you have to do it.

1. Add a comment to this post on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn’t matter if you knew me a little or a lot…anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It’s actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses.

I am with Carrie that if you leave a memory about me, I’ll assume you’re playing the game and I’ll come to your blog and leave one about you.

And if you don't have a blog...do it anyway.
