One Week
March 18, 2012
That title makes me think of a song. What doesn't? LOL. Does anyone know the
Canadian band Bare Naked Ladies? (Strange name, I know!) Anyhow, they had had song that went something like........."Its been one week since you looked at me........" Ya, okay, that's all I remember. :P And I'm too lazy to google it.
So, Hello!!!! I haven't been in here for days. Yikes. I hope you're still following along, all you cyber readers. I am running out of time and running out things to blog about. And the more I blog, the more real it becomes. At this point, I'm not sure I want it to be real. ONE WEEK! I'm leaving in ONE WEEK! And have you guessed yet? I'm freaking out! Freaking, Freaking, Freaking!
Why? Well, there's not really words for why, I guess. It's just me. I freak out. And then I do it anyhow. Yesterday, I was close to tears several times; completely overwhelmed. I know I'll have a day in the next week where I will completely lose it and will sob my little heart out. I'm a weirdo. I know that. And I wish I was different, but that's just how I roll. I'm scared to even think about I'll be like next week at this time. Not good, I'll tell you that. What the heck was I thinking, believing I could do this?
No point belly-aching I guess. So, what else can we talk about? Well, how about some packing advice? LOL. Yep, still having dilemma's. I don't want to overpack, but I just need to bring some stuff, you know? Although there are a few things I'm undecided about. Maybe you can help me.
~~ Do I need to bring a pair of black trousers? I need a skirt because of the fancy lunch B has arranged for us at Luzine. I need to dress up and look pretty. But do I need trousers? Maybe they will be just taking up extra space?
~~ Coats. And sweaters. So, I'm wearing my red knee length coat on the plane because I need something dressy with me; also it warm, and honestly looks okay with jeans. I don't want to look a typical tourist when I'm over there. :P But I need something else. But I don't need two extra coats, do I? I was thinking of my structured denim blazer jacket and this gorgeous shorter purple jacket I have. But I don't need both, do I? How do I pick? I have NO idea. Can't I just bring both? Sweaters? Well, Cardigans, really. I'm wearing my favourite light grey one on the plane. I need another as was planning on a dark grey one as well. But then I saw the brown one I have and maybe that's a better alternative. One grey, one brown? Or maybe is two grey better? I do like the grey better than the brown. UGH! I can't decide! LOL.
~~ Shoes. Shoes and shoes. I'm still having shoe dilemmas. Mostly because of the situation with my dumb wrecked leg. Its so hard to figure out it. Okay, I'm wearing my boots on the plane. Bringing a pair of sneakers for sight seeing. My dressy Sketchers for travelling here and there when I need to be dressy. Will probably hide the 'nice' shoes in my giant Carlos bag and change when I get to where I am going. Not the best alternative, but I don't know what else to do. The way my leg is, I have to have comfy shoes or I'll be be more wrecked than normal. So, in regard to dressy shoes......I have lovely flat silver ones for the concert. Do I need to bring a second pair of dressy (pointy low pumps) just in case? I always worry about just in case. Because what am I going to wear to Luzine if I don't have them? UGH! See what goes around and around in my head? No wonder I am driving myself mental. :P
Okay, I'll shut up at the packing. But I would LOVE some input. Please.
I want to thank B for all her info about Belgium! :) And Chris too for her input. Look how educated we all are because of them! I feel like maybe I have a handle on the Belgian culture. The picture I have is that Belgians are very proper people. They like beauty and tidiness and like to help foreigners (You better not be wrong about that B! LOL) Anyone I have encountered here in Canada tells me that Belgian is like France, only much nicer and friendlier. :)
So, maybe it will be alright. It has to be, doesn't it? Getting on the plane is going to be the hardest part, I think. Wow. One week.

PS: Leaving you now because I need to go book my ticket up to the top of the Eiffel Tower. I'll kick myself if I don't go, I know I will. Wow. One week.
