No, it isn’t the new hit show on NBC his Fall…
Yesterday I went over and got the keys for our new place and checked it out to make sure that everything was good to go. By the time I was back to the flat (we are leaving) it was 3:30. It became very apparent that making 3-5 tube trips and struggling with these bags would be a) miserable and b) take 6-10 hours. I opted for the cab. £40 and 40 minutes later, I was at my new place with …

Here we go. You’d never think moving 1 car load of stuff 10 miles would be an issue. That is until you do it without a car. Well today is that day folks. Jen is at work (how convenient!) and also pregnant (i think she’s faking) so she’s useless (for moving purposes.) I could just take a cab, but that is probably a £50 minimum versus ~£6 for the all day trasit pass. I guess we will see how ambitious/lazy I am today. The good news is, once we are …

I am pleased to announce that Baby Boy Sutton has a brain with all the parts, 2 eyes, a nose with 2 nostrils, lips, and a complete skull.
I, on the other hand, can’t tell time. I had my first (?) pregnancy related fit. I thought my appointment was at 10:20, so we got there at about 9:45am. 10:20 came and went and at about 10:45 I went up and politely asked how much longer it would be. They said “not long.” So I calmly went and sat back down. Then …

Michael and I had a perfect weekend. We slept in really late both days, and the weather was beyond beautiful every second. It was sunny and about 70 degrees the whole time. Michael took me to see the area around our new flat (long story and not worth telling why the one we originally decided on din’t work out). So the new place is in Kensington, which is a leafy, peaceful, yet very “happening” part of London. Unlike the other flat, this flat is in an area with 3 grocery …

I began my official London Job Hunt today. Should be interesting in the current climate to see how readily I can find something. Therefore SGTL will be bringing you updates as Michael tries to find financial reward on the other side of the pond.
Since we are on the subject of Americans in England (well, we always are) can I say how sad and desperate the Tax Day “teabaggers” looked. Really? I won’t get into too much detail, but tax rates for the highest bracket are currently lower now (35.6%) AND …

As the moment approaches, I am just beside myself waiting for Michael to get himself here. It has been a long 6 weeks… longer for him than me, probably, but long nevertheless. In normal life, I would accept a sleep-off challenge from anyone – anytime – anywhere (except maybe Big Kathy), but yesterday, I tried to take a nap, and could only sleep for about an hour (I have been known to take 3 hour naps on the weekend lately). Then last night, I fell asleep with no problems, but …

My room mate is out of town this week, and it is very peaceful here. And… my favorite room mate in the world comes in 2 days!!! It has been 6 grueling weeks, and I am tired tired tired of being here without him. I know people do it for a lot longer, but I am just not the long distance type. We move into our new place in 1 week, and I can’t tell you how much I am looking forward to it. As you may have noticed, I …

Let’s start with the con(s). I can think of 1. I am sick. I have been out of bed once this weekend, to go to the grocery store, but that is it. I can’t / don’t want to take any medication because of Baby Sutton, and I have been through 5 1/2 “balsam enriched” packs of tissues. And no, I don’t know what balsam enriched means, nor do I care. My head hurts, and i have sneezed at least 400 times today. It is 8pm, and I am thinking about …

There you go Kathleen, careful what you wish for! It just may come true.
