My friend, Val, asked me if I have any pics with the view from my varanda. I have two, which I took when the storm clouds were coming in for our first rain of the year a couple weeks ago. Keep in mind they’re from my phone, so not the best quality….
and here I am, [...]

Could Calvin Klein boots get any better than this?
(I’m starting to think I need a separate category just for my boot/shoe obsessions….)

There’s a Japanese restaurant in Tel Aviv that I completely adore called Moon. If it weren’t so expensive, I’d eat there all the time! I love Sushi! It’s a fact!
If I were called to Japan, other than the language, I really wouldn’t mind at all. I could totally live off of rice, sushi, tea, and [...]

Thanks to @Holly, I have actually won an award here on my blog! It’s exciting, yet humbling at the same time.
Here’s the great thing about this award: I can now choose 5 more lovely ladies to honor those who encourage, inspire, lift me up, and just bring happiness into my life on a day to [...]

I hate Crocs!
I’m talking about the reptiles, but I’m not a fan of the shoes either. Since I was little I’ve had this un-natural fear of crocodiles. That might not be too wierd, a lot of kids are afraid of them, but here’s the thing….I grew up in MIchigan. We have NO crocs there!
I don’t [...]

I may not look like a geek on the outside (other opinions might differ), but I’m definitely one on the inside! A Star Wars Geek to be specific. I have blogged about my love for all things Star Wars in the past, and especially my R2D2 obsession (my African Pajero was even named R2).
But, imagine [...]

If you didn’t know before, you know now…. I love boots!
Moving to Israel only allowed me to only bring the necessities with me, which also meant only bringing one pair of boots with me and leaving a whole tub full behind.
This morning my nephew went out to the shed where all my tubs are and [...]

The wait is over.
My bags are packed.
I’m on my way.
I’ve been waiting for this day for over a month now… as the anticipation has grown, so has the list of things I am looking forward to during my visit. My flight leaves today, and after 12 hours in Paris, I will continue my journey back [...]

There are many faces to friendship….but to someone living outside the country, who has run out of coffee beans, and has been drinking crappy coffee for the past 3 days, THIS is the truest form:
Thanks, @jcdulaney!!! You have saved this girl many long, frustrating good-coffee-less days…

I am sooooo completely happy at this moment, because from September 23-October 7th I will be HOME!!!
My housemate found this amazing, incredible deal online for airline tickets from TA to the States…and when I say incredible, I mean INCREDIBLE!!!
I wasn’t planning on coming home anytime soon, but with this offer I just couldn’t pass it [...]

Today is my nephew’s 12th birthday! I can still remember the day, like it was yesterday, 12 years ago when I got the phone call that he had been born. I was living in Arizona, still in college at Arizona State University. Now, here we are 12 years later (he’s almost a teenager!), talking on [...]

Yep, this is TJ, and yes…I’m 34 and still have a teddy bear! He is what I call my comfort zone.
TJ has been with me everywhere I’ve been. From Brazil to Africa…Europe to the Middle East; I don’t go anywhere without him.
I don’t know how he handles all the tosses and turns that [...]

I have worn 3 rings forever now, 2 on my left hand and 1 on my right. Today I lost my thumb ring, on my left hand. For the life of me I cannot place where it came off and where it can be. Not that this ring has much monetary value, but the sentimental [...]

I was told today that I was fearless. I’ve never thought of myself in that way, because I definitely have areas of fear; but my attitude towards fear is…. ‘get over it’. (Sorry, if thats not the mushy-gushy sensitive approach.) Yes, there are things that make me nervous in life (crocs and sharks) but if [...]
