https://confusedinbristol.wordpress.com/2014/01/23/and-i-was-doing-so-well
I'm as confused as ever, now I just live in Bristol. Which means I get lost more often than I did when I lived in Zurich…. Confused does Slimming World. January 23, 2014. And I was doing so well…. I haven’t been perfect with regards to not buying stuff I don’t need this month, but I’ve been really good compared with non-saving Vicky. I even managed to resist the Firefly USB Thumb Drive. Even though no-one could have blamed me for succumbing to that! Nobody, that’s who! But then World Book Night. Having s...

I'm as confused as ever, now I just live in Bristol. Which means I get lost more often than I did when I lived in Zurich…. Confused does Slimming World. February 22, 2015. Confused in New York. As I write this, I'm 8.5 hours into a 14 hour layover at Dublin airport. I landed here at 5am Irish time, which was midnight as far as my body was concerned. My flight leaves at 6.55pm. So if this post is a bit disjointed, it's because I keep falling asleep over my iPad. It seemed extremely busy to me anyway, but ...

I'm as confused as ever, now I just live in Bristol. Which means I get lost more often than I did when I lived in Zurich…. Confused does Slimming World. January 30, 2014. 2014 is still going to be fun…. The first five months of this being-frugal-in-2014 malarkey are actually looking pretty good, because I bought and paid for all kinds of concerts and fun days out before I decided to stop spending money. And not going, when I’ve already paid good money, would be a waste :). I love National Express. Fill i...

I'm as confused as ever, now I just live in Bristol. Which means I get lost more often than I did when I lived in Zurich…. Confused does Slimming World. September 18, 2014. For 2015 I think I've found a solution. Ok, it's accidentally happened as I've booked next year's holidays willy nilly (sorry, I don't know why I'm overusing that particular expression today. It is a fun one though, isn't it? And most importantly, I'M GOING TO NEW YORK! I'm so excited! I can't wait! There was a sale on flights from Br...

25 random facts | Confused in Bristol
https://confusedinbristol.wordpress.com/25-random-facts
I'm as confused as ever, now I just live in Bristol. Which means I get lost more often than I did when I lived in Zurich…. Confused does Slimming World. Well, it says 25 facts, but I decided one of them was just too personal and removed it. So there are only 24 at the moment. (If you can remember what it was, no it hasn’t changed. It was still a valid statement, it just bugged me having it there…). I can convert signed binary fractions in my head. Ones and zeros are so wonderfully clean and simple. My ta...

http://aliceinaverageland.blogspot.com/2010/09/swearing-in-spanish-art-and-royal.html
Swearing in Spanish, Art and a "Royal" Wedding. These last few months have been ridiculous. I'm planning my adventures in Central America (I'm even doing a 32 day tour. To get myself acquainted with the culture), trying to get a job in Costa Rica (which apparently they don't do online anymore because too many "gringos" flake out) and hyperventilating over money (do I or don't I have enough? How cheap is "cheap"? And is used where Americans would say fucking, shitty. Etc That f ucking asshole. I bought a ...

Alice in Average-Land: In Which I Explain Why I've Never Had The Homesickness. Sidenote: Waterfalls Are My Favorite .
http://aliceinaverageland.blogspot.com/2010/09/in-which-i-explain-why-ive-never-had.html
In Which I Explain Why I've Never Had The Homesickness. Sidenote: Waterfalls Are My Favorite . I have a confession. I've never been away from Calgary for longer then 3 weeks at a time. I know it sounds insane but I guess between school, then being a working stiff, I've just never taken a long vacation. Or moved anywhere else. This next year is going to be a giant leap out of my comfort zone; in a fabulous way. I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm scared. Nervous, excited, scared, thrilled - all of it. Septem...
