I mentioned in 100 Things About Me that I was a cheerleader throughout high school and a little bit in college. Anyone else out there remember that chant… 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 My name is “Cherrye” and I said hi 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Back me up and meet my friend… (and on...Read More
This morning, in my customary “mailing-things-off-at-the-last-minute-style,” I bought the last few chocolate eggs and assorted dolci to send to Baby Cole for Easter. The over-sized Kinder Surprise egg won’t make it, I’m told, as if i didn’t already suspect this, but, hey, chocolate is chocolate to a six-year-old, and a cracked egg tastes just as...Read More
I lightly mentioned in my ” first-ever tagged” post a couple of days ago that Monday was not the best of the best. Someone stole my cell phone, my MP3 player, and about 30 Euro from the gym locker room. (I know you are thinking, “Cherrye you are nuts – leaving all of that valuable...Read More
So I am over a week late and a bunch of euro short, but Rob posted this question via Blog Talkers last week and I am slowly, but surely getting ’round to it. “What do you feel most guilty about?” Well, that is easy! The thing I feel most guilty about is… Being here. Doing...Read More

As you might know I have been in and out of Italy for almost one full year. Three months here, a few there, a couple more here and so it goes. I don’t want to digress too much by talking about the first year now because that will be a post to save for next...Read More

Today is International Women’s Day, at least here in Italy, or as we say in Italy – Feste delle Donne…And what a grand concept. A whole day dedicated to WOMEN…hmmm… Apparently, In ancient Roman times, March 8 was one of the first of the springtime fests and a day that was sacred to Ariadne, whom...Read More
The Word of the Day today is a tri-lingual mutilization of a French word, which, when used in it’s correct sense, I still don’t fully understand.
