Out of Oz: January 2015
http://kstooz.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 2, 2015. Major New Year's Catch Up. I know, I know, I can explain. The past few months have been absolutely hectic for me and my gang. It's impossible to backtrack and try and cover all of the points and places that I've been. I can give a teaser anyway. And so I'll explain what I mean with my annual. 2014 Year in Review. Moved into our own apartment. From earlier in the year. Let's just cut right to the chase.I got pregnant! Got to play tourist and tour guide to some pretty cool Americans.

Out of Oz: June 2013
http://kstooz.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 6, 2013. It's a beautiful day. My desire to be on my computer, even to blog, has significantly diminished. That's because it is BEAUTIFUL in Ireland! Who wants to be inside on days like today? The temperature this week has ranged from 20-24C (68-75). My fellow Americans may be laughing but for here this is WARM. It's been great spending the week in shorts and a t-shirt. All the indications suggest that this is going to be a warm summer for us so I really hope that's true. Bring it all on!

Out of Oz: August 2013
http://kstooz.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 29, 2013. 2 posts in one month! We're making progress, slowly but surely. It's certainly been awhile since that has happened. And it ties nicely with what I've been working on personally lately; goals. The Scarecrow and I get up anywhere between 7 and 8am. He's out the door around 8:20 or 8:30am. I then try and fill my day. Some days more successfully than others. This is EXTREMELY. On a crisp page. Awww, sweet bliss. Beat that, chocolate. I decided to create the ultimate list, the one t...

Out of Oz: Independent
http://kstooz.blogspot.com/2014/04/independent.html
Tuesday, April 15, 2014. Before we begin, welcome to Spring! Need to learn that I can handle it. We had toyed around with the idea of the Scarecrow coming along, hanging out in the city or maybe golfing with a friend. But when none of those ideas panned out we realized how silly it would be for him to tag along when he would be much happier at home. This seems a little ridiculous given that I'm a grown and capable woman, but I was a nervous to DRIVE. May 10, 2014 at 4:49 AM. Limerick, Munster, Ireland.

Out of Oz: Return of the Twister
http://kstooz.blogspot.com/2014/03/return-of-twister.html
Saturday, March 8, 2014. Return of the Twister. The Twister has come again. This time it's swept the Scarecrow, Toto and this ruby slippered girl into an adorable 2 bedroom flat right in the area we wanted to be. I can hardly believe it! Caution ahead, lots of pictures. Yep, I'm excited! Our Target bedding that we still love. Our room came with two bed side lockers, a dresser, and a BIG, BRAND NEW MATTRESS. We opted to swap the bedside lockers and dressers for our own. Definitely kept the mattress! We wa...

Out of Oz: November 2013
http://kstooz.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 18, 2013. So, I just reread my last post. Fail me. I still have those lists and need to be more proactive with it. However, that now combines with a new challenge in my life. I GOT A JOB! Sorry for the unnecessarily large amount of exclamation points. But this was a very big deal for me. A very big deal for us really. I wish I could say it was in my field or that it was something that would start me in that direction. But unfortunately, it's not. Note: no Irish tidbit. Clearly I've h...

Out of Oz: November 2012

Wednesday, November 21, 2012. Why did the turkey cross the ocean? This is the obligatory Thanksgiving-in-a-foreign-country post. But you'll find out more on that in a minute. First up, this past weekend. It was a roller coaster for me and, as any good weekend should, taught me a lot about what I want my life to be like here in Oz. Leslie, one of my oldest friends from way back in the day, sent a couple little things to make it feel more like Thanksgiving. And so, why did the turkey cross the ocean? It wa...

Out of Oz: March 2014
http://kstooz.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 13, 2014. This is more of a plea for help/advice post. You may recall from my last post that I was most worried about the Scarecrow and Toto adjusting to the new flat. Turns out that it's Maybelle that I should have been concerned with. She has NOT. So besides getting her to go where she's supposed to go I am also wanting to find ways to keep her entertained during the day. Between Scarecrow, Toto and myself we are generally out of the house anywhere from 6-8 hours a day. I feel t...I'm s...
