An Advisory to my Parents

If I go missing and you haven't heard from me for a few days please send some one to Selfridges at 400 Oxford Street, tell them to go to floor 2 and they should find me here....

If they still can't find me, tell them to go down the escalators to the ground floor take a left and follow the signs to here....

When you come visit, if you lose Lindsay, follow the same directions but stay on the ground floor and you should find her here....

If you still can't find us, then you should start worrying! 

New Pics of my flat

I have put the pics of my finished flat on my shutterfly site http://lwaterfield.shutterfly.com

Ain't got nothin' but love babe...

My sister's friend Missy took Hayden's one year pictures this weekend, I still can't believe she is a year old!  The pictures turned out great, Missy is a wonderful photographer, you can check out the rest of Hayden's pics at http://photographybymissy.blogspot.com/

Here are some of my favorites....

Moving on up

This is the view from our new offices...seriously! It's that close! For many of you who don't know this my comany (FCS) was acquired from JPMC by Markit Partners last week. This is a great thing for us and we are very excited about it, so don't be worried about me, they are taking good care of us. We went to visit the new offices yesterday, we will be moving sometime this month, and I love the new location! It is right on the river, a much closer commute, has a ton of stuff around it...so I am very excited to get over there! So obviously this isn't my view, but the whole office is all glass windows so you can see it from pretty much anywhere in the office! We went do dinner last night with a bunch of the people from the team we will be working with, I am so excited to join a bigger office and be a part of it, rather than just have a desk in it!

E.T. Phone Home

Good news people, my Vonage account is officially up and running 100%! What this means for you is that you can now call my old US cell phone number and it will call me here in the UK as if you were making a regular local call, yay! So now I will expect my phone to be ringing off the hook! This is now my landline in the UK, so now for a little lesson in time zones! I am 6 hours ahead of Dallas, so to catch me at home after work you can call anytime around 1pm-6pm (7-midnight my time).

Yesterday, I took some of my clients to lunch so I could get a chance to meet them now that I am here. We went to this awesome Argentinian steakhouse, Gaucho. I know what you're thinking, "a la" Texas de Brazil. Not quite, it was actually pretty swanky! I had a ginormous filet, hopefully I'll be spared from the Mad Cow since they said all of their meat is from Argentina. Although, who am I kidding, I've been eating red meat since the day I landed. I know, I'm so adventurous, I really throw caution to the wind! here is the link... http://www.gauchorestaurants.co.uk/restaurants/restaurant.php?id=city

It's glorious!!

Unfortunately I ran out of cubbies...I need to make another trip to Target when I'm home next...I need room for the new ones that are sure to come :)

I've died and gone to Chelsea

I must live in Chelsea at some point before I move back! I love, love, love it! I went after work b/c they have a Bliss spa there and I was going to buy some wax there that Kelly recommended. (Poetic Wax, amazing BTW!) When I got off the tube at Sloane Square it was like I stepped into a fairy tale! Great Shopping, cute residential streets with the most picturesque homes....my new goal is to find a way to live there! They also have Partridges, a grocery store that Andrea and Mike discovered. A grocery store you say, why be so excited about a grocery store??? Good question, I'll tell you why...it is American grocery heaven!! Although, satisfying my stomachs cravings comes at a high price. Five pounds per box of Wheat Thins high, yes, you heard me correctly...I did pay $10 for a box of Wheat Thins, and I'd do it again! Unfortunately, I just stumbled upon this grocery heaven so I didn't have all of my proper "grocery shopping gear" with me. I could only buy what I could carry home; Wheat Thins, Welches Grape Jelly, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Oh My! I can't wait to make another, more properly equipped visit! Until then I'll be rationing my $10 Wheat Thins.
