Maven Heaven: Some things just bug the heck out of me!!!
http://maven-heaven.blogspot.com/p/some-things-just-bug-heck-out-of-me.html
I travel, I shop, I read, I watch, I eat; therefore, I am. Some things just bug the heck out of me! The older I get, the more annoyed I am about everything. Patience may be a virtue and supposedly is a trait one should have obtained by 50 but I think it's highly over-rated and grumpy is now the new patient. In fact, I think patience is just another word for tired and quietly seething. My list of things that bug me. Christmas attire (see previous blog). Sweat clothes and ball caps in restaurants. Everyone...

http://maven-heaven.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
I travel, I shop, I read, I watch, I eat; therefore, I am. Wednesday, January 14, 2015. Havana - my home away from home. Door to door knife sharpening business. Alejandro and Farrah and their new baby Diego. Humberto and Yanaisa's family before the Italian meal. And shopping for food? Don't get me started! This year's feast was easier since I knew where to shop for groceries. But last year? It took me an entire day to buy the food for one Italian meal. Why was I cooking Italian food in Cuba, you ask?

Maven Heaven: March 2012
http://maven-heaven.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
I travel, I shop, I read, I watch, I eat; therefore, I am. Wednesday, March 7, 2012. I have lived in Kingston, Ontario, Canada for 34 years. When you are familiar with your surroundings, you forget that it may be a city with something to offer in terms of tourism, historical value, and beauty. Kingston is such a place so I have decided to include it in my travel blog. Kingston was established in 1673 and is the oldest city in Ontario. The City's strategic location provided prosperity through shipbuilding...

We arrived at the airport in Halmstad and were greeted by Eva and my cousin Jan (Eva's husband) who looks exactly like Grandma's brother Joel. The warm hugs we received pressed Grandma's history deep inside my chest where Grandma was waiting to receive the love of her family. It was good to be home. Mats and I with one of his 100 or so motorbikes. Ulla, me, Eva, Jan, Mille. Home of Mayor of Halmstad. After lunch, we c...

http://maven-heaven.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
I travel, I shop, I read, I watch, I eat; therefore, I am. Saturday, June 11, 2011. I am still annoyed with everything. How does bitching tie in with travel, fashion, food, etc? Well, I believe that as we travel through life, we adapt as we experience the sights and smells of the evolution of change. Some people ignore the delights of sensory perception and thus, never evolve as they age (Neil Young? Need I say more? Things that annoy me today:. Who started this trend? I really want to find this person a...

I travel, I shop, I read, I watch, I eat; therefore, I am. Wednesday, August 25, 2010. I have traveled to many beautiful spots during my lifetime but I have never seen anything as beautiful as Lake Como and the lake region outside of Milan. This is the closest one can get to heaven. I can see why George Clooney chose to live here. If I had his money, I would buy a villa on Lake Como too. Posted by Pamela Simon. Links to this post. Train station commissioned by Mussolini. Italy is a series of regions and ...

Maven Heaven: Fashion or lack thereof...
http://maven-heaven.blogspot.com/p/fashion-or-lack-thereof.html
I travel, I shop, I read, I watch, I eat; therefore, I am. Fashion or lack thereof. Hey you, in the Santa sweater! Don't get me started! Christmas sweater. Chanel? I'm not sure when this trend of tacky Christmas gear began but it needs to end now! Christmas has become so commercialized that retailers will jump at every opportunity to create everything from hats to shoes that scream, "tacky". People: just because Walmart is selling it doesn't mean you have to buy it! Exception to the rule:. It is always a...
