Yes, that’s the title. I’ve tried to be a good girl and not let much of my personal life to creep in to the blog, but at this point something’s got to give. My stomach, let alone my psyche, is very excited. That, mixed with my already-understood bad genes, and you get my title. Ugh.
Yep, [...]

It’s All About the Benjamins…

…Er, rather, the Baroque and Rococo architectural periods. Just found out tonight that each Euro banknote has a different period from Classical on through Modern. A description of the notes, straight from the European Central Bank’s website:
On the front, the banknotes show windows and gateways. They symbolise the European spirit of openness and cooperation. [...]
Nine-ish Days and New Vocab!

Woot! Nine-ish days to go! (-ish because it’s nearly Thursday.) Oh my goodness, I’ve already got the jitters, the nervous stomach, and the anxious energy. When will the fourteenth get here? Ugh!
Because we’re getting closer and closer, I keep trying to figure out what words I’ll need but don’t yet know. Found these for the [...]
Warm Weather Heather

Here’s my warm weather Heather! See, the cactus tells you that she’s traveled to a hot area.
Looking at my stack of cardstock, I’m sure that I could make plenty of Flat Heathers…perhaps an evening wear Heather? We’ll see!
Flat Heather!

After a few sketches and one failed attempt, here’s my first Flat Heather! I say first, because I’d like to make another one as a “backup.” I’d hate to be halfway across the world and have my one and only Flat Heather out of commission.
It would also be nice to have another Heather [...]

The countdown is getting closer! We’re now down to thirty-two days!
I’m even more excited now that I know that Santa lives in Finland. I had no idea! He lives in Romaniemi, which is just north of the Arctic Circle. He’s even got a wonderful website, complete with indoor and outdoor webcams, and his email and [...]
Ambassador?

Michael was telling me about sites he’s been looking at regarding international travel and the tips and tricks they’ve offered. Upon hearing his synopsis, I went looking myself. I could only find the same things he’d read, which offered assistance mainly with clothing. The main offering was to not dress in jeans, and be careful [...]
First Trip…
Posted in Getting Ready, tagged Finland, travel on April 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve been poking around at other blogs and websites talking about their first trips to Europe. They make me hesitant and a bit scared, due to their detailed questions and itineraries. But my fears tend to diminish when I remember that I’m traveling the same route that Michael’s traveled numerous times. That, and we’re staying with [...]
Two Months Away!

We leave two months from today! My goodness…this time, two months from now, we’ll be on our way to Denmark, en route to Finland. Wow. It has sunk in.
When Michael bought our tickets, it seemed to be more of a dream than a reality. I’ve only been to Mexico once, and Canada a few times. [...]
