countdown…

I’m getting really excited for our cruise, in case you couldn’t tell.

This time next week we’ll be on the ship, sailing way (or is it cruising away?). So to say that I’m counting down is an understatement. Unfortunately I have a mad week at work that consists of meetings, planning, a training session and not to mention our work Christmas party, a farewell party for our student worker and then an event. So wow.

And in between all that, we have so much to do…like laundry, somehow needing to pack wisely so I don’t take half my wardrobe with me and bake TWO Pavlova’s this week. TWO, people!

Anyway, I bid you adieu. I have Christmas cards to write and address if it will have any hope of making it to Australia in time before December 25th.

happy or unhappy

It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.

happy holidays!

Happy Holidays indeed!

Things to look forward to in the next 3 weeks:

1. Memphis
2. New Orleans
3. Western Carribean
4. Saint Augustine
5. (Even) Pensacola
6. Atlanta
7. (Even) Paducah

Basically, I’m looking forward to hours & hours of sitting in the car, hotel hopping, cruising and just plain traveling around this great land, US of A.

P.S. USCIS has extended my Green Card for a year, while they figure out whether they want to grant me a 10-year one. Now I can re-new my driver’s license and tell my employer that I can legitimately still work for them.
