My Recent Ramblings
It has been at least 3 days since I had coffee
But I made it to Nepal! Today starts our first full day in Kathmandu. After arriving yesterday morning at 8 am, we had a low key day with nothing hard scheduled. I was most thankful to get out of my travellig clothes - 30+ hours of travelling later. ...
Wandering around the Doha Aiport
Some things spotted in the duty free shop and in the food court.
It’s Qatar not Cotter
See the full gallery on Posterous So I made it. 12 hrs after leaving JFK I have arrived in Doha, Qatar. Initial thought? It is as warm here as it was in Minnesota when I left. Odd. The flight was uneventful, I even managed to sleep. The entertainment was phenomenal. I...
I found the only 2 useful things in the Skymall magazine

Empire State of Mind
I made it to JFK. Got lost. Found where I was supposed to be. Checked in for my flight to Doha. Found my mom. Now I just need to eat. And charge my phone. Have run into other people from my trip, and yes I am the youngest in the group. I did, on my flight to JFK find...
My bags are packed. . . well they will be, at some point
Tomorrow is the day. I finally get to make my trek eastward towards Nepal. I have prepped as much as I can, and now just need to get everything into my suitcase and ready to go. So far I've: sprayed all of my clothes with promethrin procured 76GB of memory for my...
Ok, iPod gods, you got my attention
Apparently, my iPod knew exactly the two songs to play while I was getting ready to head to a work event tonight. Listen to them. I know they spoke to me pretty loudly and clearly. "Song for a Friend" by Jason Mraz "Lean on Me" Glee Cast version Again, the...
T-Minus 1 Week . . and counting
This is it. The final countdown. The last few days before I leave on my next big adventure. I've done a fair bit of travelling in my day - but this is a trip unlike any other I have taken. I have never before needed vaccinations (thyphoid!) for my trips, or...
Oh Hell to the No
This sums up my feelings about today (and certain things on other days. . .). I woke up feeling like my allergies beat me up last night with a blunt object. Time to sleep and hope I feel better soon. Seriously, ragweed, you need to go find somewhere else to do your...
The Emmys, new Glee, and new Glee music? Oh my!
In a change from recent years, I'm actually going to watch the Emmys this year. It has been awhile since I've watched an awards show on TV. However, I have been watching a few of the shows that are up for nominations, so actually feel like I can watch and actually...
It starts with just one kind person. . .
Watching this gave me chills. What an inspiring educator and place. I've been to Las Vegas a number of times, including visiting a school where a friend of my mom's was the Principal, and this is a city that definitely reflects the current economic...
Nine Eleven Two Thousand and One
Today is the 10th Anniversary of the attacks that took place on September, 11, 2001 in New York and Washington D.C. I could spend this post talking at length about where I was that day (in my junior year at Marquette - in my a third story walk-up apartment after...
Sometimes we all need a reminder like this. . .
I'd be lying if I didn't say that this is oddly perfect. Thank you, Rory, for sharing it.
Me: The Playlist
Last night I was sitting in my backyard, reading and listening to music while enjoying the perfect Minnesota evening. There was a bit of a chill in the air so I had to wear a hoodie and the air was full of fall smells - leaves, a bit of dampness, and...
Lots to do and a Jam of the Day
I need to buckle down this weekend and get stuff done. I need to buckle down this weekend and get stuff done. I need to buckle down this weekend and get stuff done. Maybe if I say it enough, I'll actually get out of bed and do things? I digress. . . Finally,...
Jammy’s Jam of the Day – September 1, 2011
Sometimes song lyrics say things better than my own words ever could. "Get it Right" - Glee
Who rocked it better?
Confession: I'm a fan of Glee. Ok, so maybe that isn't much of a confession to those that know me. One thing that Glee does - and does well in my opinion - is cover songs. I am not overly for or against people covering songs. I will even admit that sometimes I like...
Don’t Rain on My Parade. . .
This weekend is one I'm taking to do what I want, when I want, and how I want. *stomps foot* This is not out of selfishness (wel, at least not bad selfishness); it is out need to renew and recharge. Many people think that August is an easy month for me at...
