life is good...

so, i was just reminded by an old friend that i should probably update my blog. so here goes:

the past few weeks have been great. i have really enjoyed sleeping in, cleaning my room, painting my room, babysitting a couple of days, making mix cd's for friends (it's coming, NF!), planning my trip to Europe, connecting with friends old and new, having truths pounded a little deeper into my brain, breaking away from the status quo a little bit more, lounging on the beach, reading stories of other people's travel adventures and mishaps, buying new pants, watching movies, going to busch gardens, staying up late, and just enjoying life again.

and yes, you read that right. there is not any work in that statement(no real work, just babysitting). i do plan to work, at least some, since i have to save for europe! :-D yeah, i've got a rough itenerary planned now, including iceland, spain, morocco, france, italy, austria, switzerland, and perhaps germany. we'll see how it all goes down! the time frame is roughly from the 1st or 2nd week of sept to the 3rd or 4th week of october. i've got a couple of travel buddies (still looking for more! talk to me if you're interested!) for parts of the trip, and a few friends i want to visit along the way. woohoo!!! and man, am i excited!

so that's about it for now. thanks for tuning in!
