48 Hours
March 23, 2012

Picture
No, I don't mean the 48 hours investigative news show where they try to figure out who kill whom in some bizarre murder case.  Usually its the husband who did it; but you probably already knew that, right?  Of course, you are all smarties!  Ooooh, Smarties.......when was the last time you had a Smartie?  Now I want one!  Anyhow, I digress.......

Forty Eight hours.  Until I leave.  For Europe.  Ai Yi Yi!  I think I might need one of those beers!  Don't they look good?  They sort of look like cider to me.  I can imagine how good they would taste ice cold on a warm day.  Yummy, right?  If they taste as good as they look I might have to try one.  With my waffles.  And Frites.  But after the concert!  Everything after the concert!  Dont want a bloated beer belly for the boys, do I now?  Nope.  :)  

Okay, so, 48 hours.  I will be flying over Airdrie right about now (that's a small city a few miles north of Calgary for those who don't know.  My bff Brenda lives there *hi Bedsie* )  So, all in all, I'm not doing too bad, although I did have a bit of a well-up a couple of times today.   One was at work when a colleague was telling me to have a great trip......i have to say I got a little misty-eyed (I'm soooo dumb and she was being so sweet!)  And the second time was at my parents tonight.  They are so supportive and I was tearing up...........   But then, I was trying to take a picture of them with my camera, and it turned into a big laugh fest because I video'd Mum saying....Don't take my picture!  It was hilarious and I ended up laughing and not crying at all.  (Don't worry, Mum, I won't ever post that video anywhere.  Promise.  I'll just watch it when I'm having a moment because it makes me laugh, and I'll need to laugh!)  (B.......I'll show you on Wednesday :P)   hehehe

I just saw a commercial on tv and you know what it said?  Canadians are made of Can, not Can't.  Wow!  That's totally inspiring.   I Can, right?  Because I'm Canadian.  Okay,  That's good.  Useful.  I'll remember that when I'm crying in the public toilet.  Probably having to pay extra money to the 'toilet lady' for using up so much paper blowing my nose!    I'm Canadian, and I Can.  Right-O!

So, a map of Belgium with the cities.  How about this?  Thanks to Chris who sends me all kinds of goodies to share with you.   This should help place the cities.  Study hard, there will be a test tomorrow.   When there's only 24 hours left to go!  YIKES!  I can't think about it.  Not yet.  Tomorrow I will keep myself busy cleaning the house and mending my dress and going to the gym.  If I don't think about it, its not real.  Not sure I'm ready for it to be real yet.  But it is.  In 47.5 hours!!    WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Till tomorrow, my lovlies.   Nite Nite.

You CAN do this and you ARE. Since we have been going over a checklist, one last silly question: Have you downloaded all those songs so you aren't crying in the public toilet?

Those beers do look good and please have one for me. At least a taste of one.

Just think, pretty soon you will be wondering what ever made you doubt that you couldn't do this.

Hugs!

You better not show that silly video to B, you promised you wouldn"t--only kidding!!! 48 hours you will be flying over London about to land and your head will be in the clouds because you will have made it 7/8 of the way. While you wait for your flight to Brussels Dad says to say Hi to the Queen! As if!!! Just because the photos T took of us make us out to be hillbillies--we are not.

No, you're not hillbillies. And you make me laugh, so much! You are the BEST parents ever. Luff you lots. I couldn't do this if you weren't so positive. I'm barely holding it together as it is. Imagine if you told me I was making a mistake? We could be in some serious troubles. TTYL, my hillbilly parents. Time to break out the Wilf Carter, maybe? hehehe
