love & hate, european vacation edition
June 4th, 2009 @ 9:41 pm | love & hate | Post a Commentlove: No working, or checking work email, or even thinking about work, until June 17th.
hate: Imagining just how many zillions of emails will need to be dealt with on June 17th. But blocking that thought out for now.
love: Going to one of my best girlfriend’s wedding this weekend. Yep, this wedding.
hate: A 7:00 AM flight the morning after her wedding. Ouch.
love: Have I mentioned I’m just a teeny, weeny, little bit excited for this wedding? Okay, more like thrilled.
hate: I haven’t shaved my legs in a long time and need to remedy that if I’m going to wear sundresses and swimsuits for the next 10 days.
love: Our house will be in good hands while we’re gone. A friend/coworker is staying here, as opposed to just having a neighbor pop in a few times a day.
hate: I’ll probably miss my cats. How lame is that?
love: On Monday evening I will be in Sardinia, Italy.
hate: It will take from Sunday 7:00 AM until Monday 5:30 PM to get there, and we will pass through six airports to do it. Double ouch if I’m hungover.
love: No internet connectivity while we’re away!
hate: Hope I don’t miss any groundbreaking news. Like Speidi spawning children or something. Nevermind, I wouldn’t want my vacation tarnished with information like that.
love: My lovely mom gave me Euros for my birthday (which is later this month) and ordered me to buy something fun in Europe! My wishlist: lovely art prints, a wallet, and possibly something in the jewelry category.
hate: I won’t be able to call my mom every single morning like I do now.
love: Finally beginning this amazing Ohio/Euro adventure vacation with my sweet husband and friends.
hate: I will miss reading all your blogs, comments, and emails for awhile. But I’ll be thinking of you and writing down (in a pen and paper journal) some good stories. And taking lots of photos, too.
Ciao for now, my darlings!
Ciao! Have fun!!

I like your wish list – some art prints, a wallet and something in the jewelry category! That is pretty much always what I have on my vacation shopping list. Have an amazing time!!

Two thumbs up to the art prints idea. I bought street art in Hungary – an ink/watercolor painting, some photos – and they were definitely the best kind of souvenir. Now I look at them all the time on our walls and they remind me of the wonderful time we spent there!
Have a spectacular vacation you two!!! Can’t wait to hear all about it!

I think you’re lucky to be away while Speidi is on that whole “i’m a celebrity…get me out of here” kick. Hopefully they’ll be gone by the time you get back.
Have an amazing time!
