Holiday Inn Columbus - I270 / Worthington

... Brian and Claire and Kyla. She did great meeting everyone and was very friendly! The only thing she was scared of were the escalators. My mom and I drove to our house with Talia in a car seat next to Kyla. She did great in the car seat! I was worried because car seats are non-existant in Ukraine.<br><br>When we got home we played with Talia, and showed her around the house. She was a little scared of the dogs at first ...

Bon voila nous avons fait pas mal de route et sommes installes a Columbus, Ohio dans un Days Inn. Nous sommes partis de Montreal a 7h45 pour arriver ici vers 22h45. Total environ 1150km. Les enfants ont tres bien supporte le voyage. Nous nous dirigeons demain pour Oklahoma City.

So yep I am out of money and back to work . . . Been in Columbus now for about a month, got a job as soon as I got here which was pretty cool. Working in an asset recovery firm doing some admin work and some sales, pretty laid back so it's pretty good. Also got a job in an Italian restaurant which is going to be fun!! Its hardcore getting back to work though . . . <br><br>Been living with my cousin Erica and ...

... and since she's heard me sing before she's letting me be the lead singer. <br>It's like I have this little book where I'm the pauper in the streets with my older, lazy brother desperately needing help, and then their one and only fairy god mother saves the day.<br>Well guess what? I'm going to keep writing my book and nothing's going to stop me. The angel has now gone missing, but the devil comes back with an evil plan.<br>

... too looking at the map that we're pretty much in line with Baltimore to the east of here, which looks to be a good day's drive (probably as far as we came yesterday from Nashville to Grove City), so I'm of half a mind to head that way instead. Hmmm, decisions!!

... time as we can with family and friends. <br><br>Anne and Jeff, (Scott's parents) are coming down on Sunday to get the dogs and visit with us so that will be fun! We have Halloween outfits for the dogs even though we won't be here for Halloween. Everyone make sure that Anne and Jeff dress them up so they look pretty for all the Trick ...

... home. They came here about an hour later and were still talking business. Now to get some decisions out of Chuck and Dana about what they want to do. More important is getting Charlie to go through all his stuff here and make a zillion decisions!!!! I sold $25.00 worth of old golf balls today&#8212;around 275 of them &#8211; only 5245 to go! We drove to Penn Station for a Club submarine sandwich for supper &#8211; we shared a medium-10" one. I spent some time going through a box we ...

It is 5:30 pm and I am sitting in my apartment with the last load of laundry finishing and I am sipping a cup of coffee made from beans shipped from Kenya...or at least that's what the Giant Eagle grocery store sold me :-)...such a crazy way this world is connected. Anyway, here is a random list followed by my closeout. Technology: Mobile phones are capable of the same features (video, pictures sending, texting, music, talking, etc ...

... mono headset doesn't really improve things. Laura will shortly be moving to a new house so I helped make a start on packing things into boxes. It was only a few weeks ago that I was packing up stuff from my flat and the job sux! In the evening we headed off to Dairy Queen for ice cream (again!) and beer to take back to the house. I love the ice cream and the choices available here but there is just something about a locally made Hocking's (Appledore, North Devon) I pang for.

... to get back to my car in Ohio...until Christmas traffic and gas prices put a damper on that excitement!! I had a great time catching up with my family and just being able to spend quality time with them. It is so true that "distance makes the heart grows fonder." I did not take for granted being able to have coffee with my mom, sitting around the kitchen table chatting with my dad, or being able to run into my brother in the kitchen. I ...
