Semi-True Story: December 2009
http://semi-truestory.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 28, 2009. Las vacaciones ahora, por favor. Wow, my Spanish is really impressive. Good thing we're booking ahead, so our rooms won't depend on my pseudo-French accent. I sound like maniac version of the girl chef from. But we got our Cancun hotel. It's boutique, small(ish) with outdoor massage and so pretty it makes you want to do this:. Well three solid months of complete chaos, panic and that slow, sinking feeling have left me almost completely defeated. My "Goonies never say die! I use...

Semi-True Story: February 2010
http://semi-truestory.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 26, 2010. I love surfing personal finance blogs, hearing tips and tricks and pretending that I can speed the whole process of mastering my money. In my cybertravels, I've turned up a few favorite ideas:. 1) Create an ING Firewall Account. Do you worry about getting hacked? I'll get $20 and you'll get $25. That's dinner on me. ;). 2) Opt Out of Pre-Approved Credit Card Offers. 3) Ladies: Be Realistic, and Start Now. This article is a real eye-opener. 4) The Weekly Cash Diet. Because Jimmy...

Semi-True Story: November 2009
http://semi-truestory.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 29, 2009. 2000 people in Target. Why are people letting their kids drive shopping carts? And play with toothpaste in the middle of the aisle floor? Maybe they're off buying presents, and it's, "Here kids, play with this thing we haven't paid for while we go find something else.". I got a sweet deal on a camera - thanks Mom and Dad for birthday and Christmas! I will put her to good use for this blog. It lacks the feature to take a photo of itself, so here she is. Isn't she shiny? Kiva is ...

Semi-True Story: Climb In - TAKE ME WITH YOU
http://semi-truestory.blogspot.com/2010/06/climb-in-take-me-with-you.html
Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Climb In - TAKE ME WITH YOU. Take Me with You. My rating: 3 of 5 stars. Enjoyable travelogue, and the person Newsham selects to bring back to the US is the one I was rooting for. But he chooses at the very end, and there's no follow-up. In fact, Newsham spoke to my book club last week and admitted that he couldn't find a publisher to back the writing of the rest of the story. View all my reviews. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Rappelling a cenote in Mexico. Me Versus the Blog.

Semi-True Story: October 2009
http://semi-truestory.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 28, 2009. New orleans. that's another story. Tomorrow morning, Justin and I leave for New Orleans. We have tomorrow night on our own - maybe Cochon Restaurant. For dinner and a jazz club. We're using my free night on Hotels.com. So I booked the nicest room the Sheraton New Orleans would give me. By Friday night. I wonder if even the proverbial party town is ready for this traveling circus. Tuesday, October 27, 2009. Bourne in the USA. Trailer's up for GREEN ZONE. Mostly I like to see M...

Semi-True Story: Attention: We Have a Tomato!
http://semi-truestory.blogspot.com/2010/05/attention-we-have-tomato.html
Friday, May 14, 2010. Attention: We Have a Tomato! Breaking news: The first tomato of the season has hatched! Our balcony is now officially a "garden". Justin also has some basil and thyme going, which he used last night to make sauce for couscous. It doesn't get much fresher than that! We need some trellising or something now, as my plant is about 1.5 feet tall! Visit Justin's blog for more photos and to see how we rig this thing up with zero supplies and less money: Tomato Season Race.

Semi-True Story: May 2010
http://semi-truestory.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 21, 2010. End of an Era: ARE THESE MY. Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me? My rating: 4 of 5 stars. Georgia, don't leave us! I will miss Angus, Pantalizer Doll, Mr. Fish and even ADM. These books are ridiculously funny and completely mad. I will read the entire series over again someday, on vacation, and laugh like crazy all over again. If you're an anglophile or a 14-year old girl at heart, please check out Louise Rennison. Dave the Laugh never disappoints. View all my reviews. Me Versus ...

Semi-True Story: Smarter than You - FOOL
http://semi-truestory.blogspot.com/2010/06/smarter-than-you-fool.html
Friday, June 25, 2010. Smarter than You - FOOL. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. Bawdy and brilliant, Christopher Moore is just plain funny. This whole book is tongue-and-cheek almost to the point of The Princess Bride. And I love The Princess Bride. Moore never disappoints and I hope he'll try more random genre stuff in the future.

Semi-True Story: September 2009
http://semi-truestory.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 27, 2009. That said, I adore my LA friends and we had a great time. San Francisco is sadly lacking in private room karaoke joints that nicely look aside while you drag in a case of 40 ozs from the mini-mart. ;) I can do a few days of 90 degree weather as well, it was almost like lying by the pool all day long. Through Sept 30 they have one-way fares as low as $29 at virginamerica.com. Tuesday, September 22, 2009. High Season in Mexico, for under $500. Here's how you can do it too:.
