There's this article in the Times about frugal travel and how difficult it can be to find the right site, nevermind the right price/ticket, for your trip.
The one I had not heard of before is ITASoftware.com which sounds interesting.
Other notables are:
SeatExpert.com
Kayak.com
cFares.com has rebates with a low annual membership
Vayama.com specializes in international flights
Good luck with all of that.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
If you are looking for a page-turner, start this series. I couldn't put it down - read till 4:30am one night to get to figure something out. My brother just read the next one in the trilogy and said it was good too.
Also just read The Piano Teacher. I liked it. I couldn't put that one down too. Which is unusual for me - I'm often bored by books and don't finish them. Just been lucky, I guess.

Crazy Town
is where I'm residing today.
Don't want to get into it, but suffice to say, today I've been horribly grumpy.
And my friend and I just watched "Up" by Pixar - and it's wonderful! Reminded me what's important.
If you need (or if you don't!), I recommend it.

PS
I really like it when the parents of the young child upstairs get up before I go to sleep. That doesn't make me feel like a total loser or anything.
I can't help it that I can't sleep! I even exercised today and it didn't matter!
Ugh. Valium might be in my near future.

Winter
It's here. Jess is staying with us until April which is amazing. Jon is working a lot. We get to go to Cancun this weekend which is awesome. I wish I didn't have a fear of flying, but hey, nobody's perfect.
I'm so tired. Why did I start this post? Because it had been too long, that's why.
Well, it's 3am at the beginning of a week and I better get some sleep or horrible catastrophic things will happen. I'm sure of it.
I'm just shy of dawn, people! Last chance for night sleep.
Bye.

O.M.G.
I'm tired.
I've been getting up at 6(ish)am for the past few days to babysit my friend's daughter, Sam, in NJ and I commute there each morning to arrive at 8am and then return leaving their place at 12:30 and getting home around 2pm. I'm POOPED!
Sam is wonderful, as is the little 1 1/2 year old I'm babysitting in the afternoons, but kids do not stop moving! It's giving me a window into what it's going to be like to raise them (hopefully). Yikes.
This old girl better invest in some tea! I didn't have tea today and fell asleep on the subway holding to large plastic bags of different kinds of Halloween candy and a few coloring/sticker books I got for Sam with Hello Kitty, My Little Pony and various kinds of sea animals on them.
I am going to be a zombie bride. This will be my 2nd year as a zombie bride since I insist on getting the most use out of my wedding dress as possible.
So much has happened recently I shudder at the thought of trying to get it all down here, but I will say I have had a lot of time to think about life in the long term - to observe how hard it is to get older, and to start to admit to myself how much in denial I am about my youth passing me by. I assume that because I WANT to be young forever that somehow I will escape the bonds of mortality that shackle... oh, everyone who's ever lived. Alas, I fear this not to be the case.
So I embrace my age (35), and admit that I feel MUCH closer to 27 and am shocked that I must begin to act like an adult or risk losing the privilege of having a family and a few other experiences, and hope that as I get older I can both keep my sense of play and adopt a graceful attitude of what I can no longer do with the same laissez faire affect.
It's raining balls here in NYC today and ALL I want to do is curl up in bed with my kitties and read a book. But I must prepare for sitting with Milo who is just quite mobile on his little feet and loves to explore and throw blocks and repeat words over and over.
Life. It is never boring. At least not mine. Not in the past.... 10 years anyway.

Things I want and do not need!
More.
My world is a jumble of decisions and changes and thus I do fantasy shopping online.
In a recent article in the NY Times they mentioned compulsive shopping as an addiction alongside alcoholism and overeating... ummm... something to think about for me.
But here we have things I managed to not buy but admire from a distance.
A steamer trunk as your portable office?
An herb wreath for your friend, the chef, (or you!) to make his/her kitchen smell & look great, and their dishes that much better.
An emergency pet jacket for your little furry loved one in case of a natural disaster. And yes, I am that crazy.
Crazy sexy wild gorgeous heels (do I wear heels anymore? no. but i would consider it for these puppies).
A place to put shit that makes it look cool rather than just a jumbled mess.
A garmet bag in Imperial Toile from Vera Bradley! Why not.
See how much fun you can have fantasy shopping?
Now it's chore time.
