LEE! pack your stuff! RIGHT NOW!

I WAS. And then I got to the part where I have to figure out what to do with Perkins' crate, so now I am wallowing for a few minutes.

I gave myself until 9:00.

I love my husband, but his politics are wronger than the idea of a threesome with Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. Argh. If Clinton deserved to be tarred and feathered for committing adultery, then Gingrich does as well. Tit for tat.

wallow away. hugs to you.

I am going to bed.

you said tit. heh.

Sleep well!

Hugs for you, Lee.

msbelle makes me laugh. Thank you.

Steph, I totally need to look for that, because that sounds like the best use of speculoos I've heard of yet!

Good to know. The primary card I use is a generic Citibank. I used it when in Prague, but need to check if there are fees now.

I think the issue you may be thinking of is what some Americans have found in train stations, that the automated ticket machines will only accept the chip-and-pin type credit cards. Many restaurants/shops PREFER those, but are ABLE to do the old-school kind that we Americans have. There are a couple of banks starting to offer them for people here, and you can also get a prepaid debit card that has the chip and pin, but you should be OK, and able to get cash from the ATM--the issue will be more foreign transaction fees (most credit cards charge an additional 3%, but a few like the Cap One card don't)

Glass is clean!

Aww, Lee, how hard to have to deal with Perkins' stuff and your loss in the middle of this move. But good on you for progress.

Next up is dusting, but I have hit a hitch in my gitalong, which is that the SO has already gone to bed. So I feel weird mopping around him. I think I'll work up until that point and stop. No, actually, I can do everything but mop. I don't need to sweep in the master bedroom right now.

We haven't heard from our houseguest so I doubt he's coming in tonight, which means I should have a little time tomorrow before he gets here. He's the world's easiest houseguest anyway. I technically don't have to do any cleaning for him since he lives most of the time in a teepee in Wyoming. (Not a native guy, just a bizarre photography buff who works the oil fields for weeks straight and then takes weeks off to go shoot pictures.)

Anyway. He's not a very exacting person, so I don't really need to be doing this. But I want to for me.

meara and I need to travel the world together. Between status on different airlines, hotel points, and knowing which cards to use that won't kill you in fees, we could travel like queens on a peasant's budget.

meara and I need to travel the world together.

Anytime, Maria! And javachik too!
