Just a reminder that Clan McLennan* will be back in Columbus from December 21-January 3 to celebrate the holidays with family and friends. When I am not annoying my cats by hugging them incessantly, I (and yes, Jeff) will be available for social gatherings to catch up on what has been happening in your lives since we left 4 months ago! So, if you want to meet for a meal, coffee, adult beverages, or just to chat, send us an email and let us know what dates work for you.
We are so looking forward to seeing everyone, and hugging kitties, eating Chipotle, hugging kitties, drinking at BWs, cuddling kitties and hitting Don Pablo’s happy hour. Yes, I miss my kitties! And all of you too of course:-)
Peace out!
*Jeff has decided we are no longer Team McLennan, rather Clan McLennan, so as to get back to his Scottish roots. (Yeah, after a few years of marriage you pick your battles and don’t ask questions when you won’t understand the answer anyways:-)). Anywho, I will do my best to keep him out of a kilt!

Posted in Belgium, Fun, Travel at 22:15 by Jeff
In keeping up with our jet-setting ways, Staci & I headed out of the country again to catch a concert the night before the Ohio State/Michigan game. Turns out Amsterdam (and The Netherlands) is a pretty boring place. Ok, not really, but you’d think so with how often we seem to be doing fun stuff elsewhere. This time the fun thing was heading to Antwerp, Belgium to see Kaiser Chiefs and Silversun Pickups with, who else, Jon & CJ.

As usual I am behind with everything. I have started adding photos to some previous posts when I didn’t know how to upload pictures. Jeff tries to keep me ignorant so he can hold his computer genius over me, but I will no longer be oppressed. I am woman hear me ROAR! Ok, so maybe he had to SHOW me how to use the picture gallery, but now that he has I am an independent blogger!
So, please click on the following pictures to access 3 photo albums (Bon Voyage Party, Trip Across the Big Blue Ocean and Our Arrival in Europe). Or you can click on August under the Archives menu bar to the right if you want to go to the original posts with updates.
Dank u wel.

Posted in London, Travel at 22:46 by Jeff
The weekend of Nov 2-4, Jon, CJ, Staci & I went to London so I could get my passport stamped outside of the Schengen Zone so I could remain in The Netherlands (and the EU) as a legal visitor. I had to go outside of the EU because of the Schengen Agreement, which essentially removed the borders of the ratifying member countries so people traveling between those countries can do so without needing visas and having their travel documentation/passport checked everytime they cross into another country, which an be pretty frequently when you consider that even the biggest countries in the European Union are smaller than Texas.

I know, I know, who would have thought I would need to travel all the way to Amsterdam to finally learn how to make pierogies from scratch!??! For those non-Polish people out there, pierogies are dough filled with potatoes, cheese, and onions (really any variety of fillings you could think of, but potato and cheese are the staples) that are served up best when lightly boiled and then sautéed in butter and onions with a little salt, pepper and paprika sprinkled on top. That is my preferred way to eat them at least.

Staci pointed out the other day that I hadn’t posted in a while, so what do I do? I wait to post even longer. Not on purpose, I just kept finding other things to do:
- work
- play tour guide to our first visitors, Andre and Amber
- stay up ridiculously late so I can watch the Yankees lose to Cleveland in the baseball playoffs live
- not leave the apartment for days on end
- play with my new iPhone (no, that’s not a euphemism)
