spring has sprung
monday monday...
it doesn't really feel like a monday when i had to go to work yesterday.
although, truth be told, yesterday's "work" wasn't really like proper work.
it was a product training day for europe tours.
it was actually super interesting and made me really want to take a europe tour.
plus we got breakfast, lunch and free beer.
and i was thisclose to winning a trip to australia.
like 6 numbers off.
i've never really considered a tour as a way that i might want to see europe... and i know for sure that the giant tour of 50 people isn't the way i'd want to go...
but they're not all like that.
one company in fact, does tours of max 16 people in unmarked vehicles, so you're not really even "touristy"
and really, i haven't seen a lot of europe, and seeing 10 countries in 14 days and actually getting time to see the sights in each would be almost impossible to plan out on your own...
so i think there's a lot of value in doing tours.
anyways, i'm (once again) pondering travel options...
'cause now all i can think of is doing a whirlwind tour of europe... or maybe a food and wine tour of italy...
or maybe the harry potter tour in the uk... or ireland and seeing giants causeway...
and greece... i wanna go to greece...
and actually, i now really want to go to croatia. which is kinda random... but wow. the beaches are stunning and they have 24 hour parties.
the world is so big... and there's so much i haven't seen, i'm finding it really hard to know where to start.
i still have to work for another 5 months before i can actually take vacation days... and that'll put me smack in the middle of high season for europe, so i think i'll wait for a little bit on that... maybe spring of 2011 will be when we make it out to europe.
and speaking of spring, i would like to thank global warming for giving us the most amazing saturday afternoon...
it was actually warm and sunny.
we sat on the patio and had afternoon beers in t-shirts.
i had the patio door wide open until the sun went down.
it was the first official patio day of 2010
it was just wonderful...
i think last weekend was the first in ages where i didn't get drunk.
on friday night we went to bed at 9:30pm... we were both bagged and the husband had to work saturday & sunday...
saturday i was super productive, renegotiated our mortgage, got my eyes tested, cleaned the entire house, got groceries and ordered myself glasses online.
so then i deserved patio beers/vodkas.
but i stopped after about 4 or 5 and went to bed early because i had to be up at 5:30 on sunday morning.
of course yesterday involved a beer at work, then wine and vodka at the baby shower...
but no intoxication.
i was a totally good girl for once.
don't expect it to happen again for a loooooong time.
okay, time to get in the shower and get ready for work...
also have to get the pork chops and mushroom sauce into the slow cooker for dinner tonight.
vegas countdown = 101 days.
*squee*
