http://kristinstravels.com Is this all I'll need for 3 months in New Zealand? I guess I'll find out... Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:01:01 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Yes, yes, I know it's been a little while since I've blogged. A lot has happened in the past 8 months or so, and I'd love to catch up on all of it, but I honestly don't know if I can. In the meantime, this post will just ... http://kristinstravels.com/2009/08/29/sunsets-star-trails/ Nearly a month ago, both James' and my birthdays rolled around. It's pretty funny that our birthdays are only one day apart; it's also amusing that James uses this as an excuse to say he's not actually a year younger than me. No no no...he's 364 days younger! :-P Anyway, the ... http://kristinstravels.com/2008/12/15/a-week-of-storms-birthdays-and-parties/ I know this post is nerdy, but I originally intended it to be part of a larger post. However, I'm exhausted tonight and don't have the energy to write a lot... Anyway, about a month ago now, I bought a copy of Guitar Hero: World Tour. The way I got ... http://kristinstravels.com/2008/12/08/guitar-hero-world-tour/ A lot has happened in the month since I updated. I'm hoping to write a few short posts to summarize all of the important things, but then again, I've been hoping to write this post for nearly a month as it is, so I wouldn't take that as a promise. As ... http://kristinstravels.com/2008/11/26/the-car-attempt-2/ Yes, it's been ages since I've updated, and I apologise. A lot of things have happened in the last month that I probably should have written about, but never got around to because I was always too exhausted to write by the time I thought about updating my partly-written draft. First ... http://kristinstravels.com/2008/10/15/what-ive-been-up-to/ As Houston slowly tries to pick its way out of the mess that Hurricane Ike created on Saturday, here's my own side of the story: Luckily my mother was able to evacuate and spend a few days with family in the north of Houston. This kept her away from the storm ... http://kristinstravels.com/2008/09/16/in-the-aftermath-of-ike/ This satellite image is just scary, especially when you notice that the hurricane is actually the size of Texas itself. Even worse is the fact that I watch the news here and see waves splashing over the familiar seawall in Galveston like it wasn't a 17-foot barrier to the sea. ... http://kristinstravels.com/2008/09/13/scary/ I'm happy to say that my back has steadily improved since my last post, and I am now at the point where I don't constantly feel it, although if I do much of anything it still steadily starts tightening up. Still, I'll take what I can get and be happy ... http://kristinstravels.com/2008/09/08/finally-out-and-about-again/ Things have changed significantly here in Perth since the last time I updated this blog, and I am happy to say that almost everything has changed for the better. First and foremost, I resigned from my job last week. Most of you know that I was not happy in the ... http://kristinstravels.com/2008/08/24/big-changes/ There's been quite a few developments since I posted last; some are good, some aren't quite so good. On the good side: James was here for the weekend. It's great to see him normally, but it was even better to see him standing on the doorstep this time because I ... http://kristinstravels.com/2008/08/07/75/
