Two months ago, I thought there were few things worse than being (twice) divorced and alone. Now I can tell you that there are far worse things than being divorced and alone. Being married to that arrogant pint-sized man-child and all of the bullshit and baggage that came with him was far worse than being… Continue Reading
Five American Foods Expats Miss (or I do, anyway)
In less than 48 hours, I’m going back to the States for the first time in over 6 years! It’ll be a short stay (practically a fly-by), but I’m looking forward to seeing my sister, and my nieces who were kids when I left but who are now twenty-somethings with jobs and boyfriends and cars!… Continue Reading
A Birthday Trip & An Art Deco Wedding Ring
Robert and I have our birthday traditions. We travel somewhere fabulous for mine, and stay home and eat cake with his kids for his. This year, we sort of reversed roles… I spent my birthday driving around rural Denmark in a moving van picking up mid-century Danish furniture and Robert spent his sailing around the Baltic sea! When… Continue Reading

Denmark Immigration Visa: 5 years & a bit… I’m finally European!
Well, sort of. Marrying Robert has given me the gift of permanent residency in Denmark, and it’s transferrable to other countries! I’ve got a golden ticket to knock around Europe for the rest of my life :-) My initial Denmark immigration visa had an expiration date and was tied to a specific job, so if I’d changed… Continue Reading
We’re off on a Norwegian Fjords cruise from Copenhagen!
A few years ago, I took a Norwegian fjords cruise from Copenhagen on a tight budget… i.e. I smuggled booze onboard and stayed in an inside cabin. The experience kind of sucked, but the landscapes were the most beautiful natural scenery I’ve ever caught sight of, and I’ve wanted a do-over in a balcony cabin ever since…… Continue Reading
