Another thing that rocks about living in the big city is the ease with which we are able to recycle. It doesn’t cost us anything extra to have our recycling picked up from our doorstep, twice a week. I can live with this.

My Aunt gave my my mom a magnet for her fridge once that said, “Families are like fudge – mostly sweet with a few nuts.” My family is about like that, but I really like nuts.

My Stroke of Insight

Read any good books lately? I have a suggestion for your next bookstore run. It’s definitely not your average vampire, angst-ridden love story, but it was absolutely what I needed at this upside moment of my roller coaster ride.
Tommy
A British private soldier, especially of the first world war.

This weekend was mostly uneventful. Ok, there was the incident with the photo and the hysterics, but otherwise calm. It was calm except for the point at which I heard the mail slot open over my right shoulder as I typed away at my desk on Sunday afternoon. Yeah, maybe I was checking out the [...]
Cello

On any given night of the week, hilarity might ensue. That’s just how we roll at The Huddleston B&B. This evening’s episode is no exception; come on in.

Business First class seating is calling to me… Someday soon my boarding pass will say “Elite”. One day I will have a foot rest and my seat will recline to nearly flat. I will be spoiled and happy sleeping as the hours pass by.

If I told you that I was spending my time with my sister playing with dolls (which may or may not be true), what would you say? Would you still love me tomorrow?

Yeah, yeah… It’s been a few days. Just trust me when I say we haven’t been sitting on our hands. The plane journey wasn’t extremely eventful. Since landing though, we’ve been to the country for fried green tomatoes and I went wedding dress shopping with my oldest younger sister-in-law. (It’s all about the big yellow [...]
Tom Petty. No Wait, David Bowie
Jul 11

You know it is early when an image of David Bowie slips into your head, but the name Tom Petty falls off your tongue. On a related note, you know you are hungry when you are willing to squeeze warm yellow snot between two pieces of brown toast, call it an egg sandwich, and wash [...]

Wondering about me? Yeah, I thought so. The good news is that I’ve been having a blast hanging out in London. The bad news is that I got lonely enough to wish I was working, too.
We’ve Only Got Four Minutes

I am quite torn between the desire for an extended period of time to myself and relief in the fact that there has been very little of that. The schedule has been full, as you can tell by our absence. The Tuesday night before Megan left, we must have been up until at least 1:30 [...]

Madonna crashed the parties in London this weekend with three packed shows at the O2, coincidence? I think not.

It’s impossible to see everything in London, but we are always working to find the unmissable local favorites. We can’t introduce you to the queen, but if you’re looking to feel like you live here, we can certainly share what we know and love so far.
