It is going to be a long while before my next post. On Friday morning I'm leaving (on a jet plane), for Europe for three whole weeks! I am sure I will have a lot of photos and stories to tell upon my return. I can't wait!
I've started counting down the hours:
Work hours left: 13.5 (Damn, hurry up already!)
Overall hours left: 43 (OMG!!!!!)

Bittersweet Holiday
This past weekend I had the opportunity to have a mini-college reunion. I say that like I've been out of college for years and years, but its been more than 5 years already! A college buddy of mine, Steel, has two places less than a block from the beach in beautiful (only slightly sarcastic) Oceanside, CA. Or at least his dad does. Aggie, Flirt, Steel, Saturday Morning, a couple other people got to hang out in a $1m+ home for the night. So what do we do? Get drunk and screw? Well, no screwing, but definitely drunkenness! And some nearly skinny dipping in the ocean at 2am and some "telephone pictionary" and some irish car bombs and some scandalous dancing and...well you get the point. After Saturday night, we have pictorial evidence of why Aggie will never be voted into public office.
Its always fun to get back together and see what we've been up to since the last time. Flirt I had seen last weekend out at the lakes, but Steel I hadn't seen in over a year. Its funny how some things never change. We all immediately fell into our old roles within the group. Its nice being able to settle in and know exaclty where you stand, in some ways its like coming home. And we all wanted to call this place home. We woke up to waves crashing on the shore, so close we can hear it. Breakfast on the veranda on a clear morning with the surf in sight. A girl can definitely get used to this!
As much as we were getting together to catch up, we were also getting together to bid adieu. Aggie will be leaving the likes of So Cal for a coveted spot in the UC Davis Vet program. We all know he's coming back, but its strange to see him going somewhere with out us. When we were all Mustangs, we graduated or moved on one by one and left Aggie to finish up. But this time, he's doing something without us entirely. Has the village finished raising the child?
When it came time to say our good-byes in Oceanside, and again later after a few rounds of MarioKart, it all just felt so final. Its going to be a long time before we have more scandalous-ness from Aggie, and probably longer still before we all get together agian. I don't know what else to say, but see you at Christmas. Go get 'em, Aggie!

Restless
I am now just 4 days away from a much needed vacation!!!! FOUR DAYS! Only 30 more hourse of work!! Only four more nights to get everthing together!! OMG!! I am starting to get extremely excited and moderatly nervous about the trip. Of course I am waiting to almost the last second to start freakin out about our ability to plan the travel everywere and what we're going to do when we get there! I mean, we have no clue as to what we're doing! We are so gonna get lost and god help us in making all the connections!
I'm sitting here at work making lists and getting some last minute hand-off stuff together and I can't focus on anything. I feel like I should be packing at this very moment. I should be getting everything together and comparing suit cases and making adjustments and running last minute errands. I should be heading to the airport to get in line for security, I don't want to be late!!! Are you sure we're going to Europe?!? Friday's not just another day at the office?!? (Don't get me wrong, having Friday off is awesome even if you're not going anywhere)
I am entirely restless and completely useless! AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG!
