quotegasm: inspiration for your thursday

April 19, 2012

So I might really-like-a-lot-slash-love Shatterboxx.  And now that they have launched an app for the iPhone called Paper’d?  I definitely spend way too much time clicking around on their websites during work hours…which is exactly why no one at my office knows I have this blog.   Don’t go blowing my cover or anything. Paper’d is a [...]

Last year, before I started working here, they made meals at a soup kitchen. Currently, we are teaching English to 8th graders at a nearby school.  Obviously I immediately signed up to participate [...]

April 16, 2012

Over Easter weekend, we hopped in the car and drove about nine hours to St. Anton, in the Austrian Alps, for one last weekend of skiing. We arrived late afternoon, checked into our B&B, and then walked around the town.  Cute, non-touristy feel, bright blue skies & spring-like conditions…I don’t know about PAB, but I [...]

driving home from austria, how’s your monday?

April 9, 2012

Ah, long weekends really are the best.  Currently, we are driving back to Amsterdam after spending the last few days in Arlberg, Austria – St. Anton to be exact – getting in our last ski days of the season. Of course we were a bit hesitant about booking an Easter Weekend ski trip, as April [...]
