i am so ready for this adventure!

shame on me-

so much has been going on and i have been too lazy to blog about it.

i think i shall go like this . . .

Holland:
ohh boy! i leave tomorrow(October 1st) for a long 14 hour plane ride into Amsterdam.
i have been in st.george for a few days spending some quality time with boyfriend before i embark on my adventure. Boyfriend will drop me off at the Vegas Airport, where [hopefully] Laura(beckys sister) and i will meet up and go the journey together! i have been packed since sunday night, but i keep finding things that i just might need to pack along... im sure its just the nerves kicking in, saying that i need more more more!!!
- as of now, i am nervous, but not about being there, about the plane trip:

for the 14 hour flight, i plan on:

• Napping
• Listening (HP7!)
• coloring
• eating
• crossword-ing
• thinking
• magazine-ing,
  

yes, i think i shall be just fine.
i guess its the fear of the unknown... i have never had a long flight before.... i think my longest was about 6-7 hours... but i know i'll be ok!
there are a few more things i need to do today before i leave, but for the most part, im ready to go!
i cant wait to see Becky and Tess!!! its going to be nice to spend time with them.

they have been so good to me already, by letting me help with planning. The gals know how crazy obsessed i get when it comes to planning!

i am so ready for this adventure!!!!

so, next time i blog, ill be in Holland!

:)

i cant seem to blog and not mention about:
Kitties:
the kittens are ohh so cute! they were born a while ago, and are just adorable! there are 5 little ones this batch and they are all gray stripety. we have been doing so good to hold them all and give them the love they need as young kitties. i hope they find good homes- they will be ready to leave their mommy about Oct 13th.

tick.tock.tick.tock

the countdown continues!

as of right now:

17 days!!!

things are happening- fast!
**if you have no idea what im talking about........then your lame, and you shouldn't be reading my blog anyway...but i just cant seem to turn down a reader..even if you are behind on the times! so go ahead and chatch up here, and Here, and Here.**


mom and dad bought me a eye mask for on the plane -how thoughtful - even in a dark shade of blue- perfect for dreams about cotton candy and rocket ships-

im starting to get nervous though!

i did [finally] get my hands on Harry Potter 7 on CD - so exciting! i have read the book, but i wont listen to it till i get on the plane!

for some reason, i seem to be dreading packing--

i think the nerves are showing their feelings for a few reasons:

• besides my 3 month vacation "working" for disneyworld one fine summer, this 22 day holiday in holland trip seems to be a long one.
  
• will i really be able to fit all i need for 22 days into a suitcase?
• will lambie get air-sick from being in the air for 14hours?!
• i havent seen my buddies Tess and Becky for a while now (duh, they have been in holland for almost a year now!)... i hope they still think im funny! (wait a second... EVERYONE thinks im hillarious, i have nothing to worry about..right?!)
• will hoovie and LB miss me when i am gone?
• what if i dont like the food-i hope i can be brave and try new things!
• for some strange reason, i just hope the people there wont look at me, roll their eyes and say "tourist" under their breath-

anyway a lot of holland thoughts on my mind---


with all of my nervs out of the way: i am SO excited for everything- we have been planning like crazy on google documents, (so perfect for this type of situation!) - we have some great things planned!

ok- time to sleep--- hopefully get some good [well needed] REM's in!

as of today:

my recent thoughts in list form:

• i got a new Franklin Covey Planner today! it feels sooooo good to be organized! her name is Planny - she's a bute!
  
• Holland is coming up FAST! (October 1-22!)
  
• After Holland, im [most likely] moving back to good ol' St.George to be with my Sweet.heart!
• i love my new Maroon ENV2 - i have named him Phoney
  
• Country Time Strawberry Lemonade is my [recent] favorite!
• so excited to see Of Montreal in London!!!
• working on the training system/manual/handbook/guide for the Restaurant is actually fun!
  
• finishing books one at a time - tricky, but feels soooo good!
• planning my big 24 on August 24th, 2009 is tricky!! what to do?!?!?!?
• The OC is ohhh so addicting! (i just cant say no to those drama-filled teens)
  
• still loving stumble!!!
• always obsessed with g.cal / g.reader / gmail / g.documents
• FINALLY [after one year] got Excel and Word on my Lappy!!! (its way past time!)

*** im not planning on taking my lappy to holland, too much stress, and truthfully, im not planning on having time to spare. but im hoping that my dear pals Becky-sue & Tess-i-poo will let me record my happenings on their compys- that would just be ohh so great!***
