On Life in St.Petersburg. The journal of an American expat in Russia. Friday, July 24, 2015. I feel like Ive been so boring lately as far as blogging goes, and at the moment Im really focused on getting ready for vacation; so excited, although there is a lot to do. The weather reports for the UK (where were going) have been the same as here, cool and rainy. Should feel like home! Anyway, a few recent things:. 1) Watching Doc Martin. Links to this post.

On Life in St.Petersburg. The journal of an American expat in Russia. Saturday, September 27, 2014. I've been mostly better for a few days and then I got these blisters on the corners of my mouth! I got into a fiction series this week ( first installment free on Kindle. Heh It addresses the issues of time management, and that got me thinking.how is it that we do so little "manual" labor these days, yet we still never have enough time? Where does the time go? And part of what gets me is that everything in...

Summer as lifetime | On Life in St.Petersburg
http://lizinstpete.blogspot.com/2015/07/summer-as-lifetime.html
On Life in St.Petersburg. The journal of an American expat in Russia. Monday, July 20, 2015. Summer is a mini-lifetime" is my loose translation of a popular Russian saying. I suppose a lot can happen in a whole quarter of a year! But in general summer usually starts out with a list of hopes and dreams and some grandiose plans.and then before you know it, September is just around the corner. Were your expectations met? Note: Comments arent proofread, but I will delete them if they seem inappropriate.

On Life in St.Petersburg. The journal of an American expat in Russia. Friday, August 28, 2015. Smiles and Drinking Water. I kind of gave away the post with the title there, but I wanted to start from the end of our trip when we'd already come back to Russia. Visiting the UK was like visiting the West for me. Sure, British and American culture are not one and the same, but when compared to Russian culture they are very similar. I even ate most of my favorite foods while in London. Yum. Links to this post.

David turned 2.5 yrs old last month, and I havent really written about his development lately.partly because I figure it really isnt that interesting to read about someone elses child month-by-month. :). David has demonstrat...

Thinking Cap | On Life in St.Petersburg
http://lizinstpete.blogspot.com/2015/07/thinking-cap.html
On Life in St.Petersburg. The journal of an American expat in Russia. Saturday, July 4, 2015. I had a busy week, but there was something different about the intensity. It was one of those times when it felt like my problem-solving skills had to be on constant alert! That was the kind of week I had, including a meltdown halfway through! Commenced making a cake for an event, using a new recipe. Failed twice (complete inedible disaster), then ran out of time. Was called into the bank. Got up early to get re...

http://lizinstpete.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
On Life in St.Petersburg. The journal of an American expat in Russia. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. After going back to FlyLady time and again to see if I could make it work, I finally realized that its probably not the best strategy for my personality type. First I thought it was just the season of life or the fact that I have a toddler who will mess up whatever zone Ive finished, turning 15 minutes of completed work into a new 30-minute job. Links to this post. Monday, November 24, 2014. Still my soul wi...

On Life in St.Petersburg. The journal of an American expat in Russia. Saturday, June 27, 2015. One day recently I decided to take David for a walk while Andrei was cooking dinner. It was actually after 7pm, but pretty much felt like afternoon, with there still being plenty of daylight. I exchanged looks with a few other adults on the playground.was this really happening? Several minutes passed before I realized we weren't getting the whole picture. Of course. We were actually looking at the back. Of the ...

On Life in St.Petersburg. The journal of an American expat in Russia. Friday, May 29, 2015. Bummer: Lost about half the photos I had been storing up for this post. :/ It would have been cool to see the transformation, but Ive got a few from when we first bought our apartment, so well start with that. Definitely not standard for Russian city life! But well see what happens if we ever become empty-nesters. ;). Vladimir checking the space out. Click through for the after view and some more photos. I'm still...
