Europe is only a week away

I honestly cannot believe that I am leaving the country next week. Things are going so fast and I am scrambling to get things wrapped up at work.


Last weekend I spent some time with friends--visiting with my first two girl friends here in Tri-cities and talking about babies and their husbands and about me finding a husband....in Ireland or a tall Swede...lot of fun and some laughing.


Next off after a haircut, getting the oil changed in my car, doing some light shopping,organizing my storage and getting coffee with friends was a trip to the salon.

...and a pedi...



Dinner with family and friends was a surprise and I got to say goodbye to a few that I will not see until this summer! It is starting to set in that I will not be around to just hang out with all my friends.


Just like in college, instead of doing what I should to prepare for this adventure, I baked cookies...just one batch though.

I found what I would like for my birthday...everyone can pitch in $1 to get this and we both win! It will help me with making lots of cakes...like carrot cake...and it helps me get organized.
