Adventures await...

If those of you who may actually follow this blog of mine are paying attention you will notice that I have been updating on Thursday afternoons; not all the time, but a good 83% of it.

Well I am writing this week to let you know that there will be no post next week, not just because it is Christmas day, but because I will be half way across the country. I think that I have mentioned before that I am a local girl; born, raised and live in the great state of Massachusetts. Right about now you might be wondering why I am going to be half way across the country for Christmas if my whole family lives in the Northeast. Well.... the boy's family lives in the Midwest, he is a corn fed Midwestern boy. And I made the decision in the beginning of October that I would go to Christmas at his family's this year. This decision caused a lot of turmoil within my family, and I do mean A LOT of turmoil, but I stuck to my guns and kept with my decision. We are leaving tomorrow evening. During the snow storm. We are also stopping by my mother's house before we leave the state so that we can drop off presents before the holiday.

This trip is shaping up to be awesome on so many levels

To be honest I am really excited about it, on Monday I get to take a day trip to Chicago with the boy and his dad. I have never been there so I am SUPER excited about that; even though the boy keeps telling me that "it is great that you're this excited but if you could dial it back you might be a the right level." What does he know! Well a lot actually, he is hands down one of the smartest people that I have ever met. But Chicago... yes, I think that it will be great, not life altering mind you, but pretty awesome. As Jazlyn's European suitor said, 'it will give my eyes a different vocabulary' and I think that that about fits the bill; and he didn't say it to me of course, he said it to Jazlyn, but she told me about it and I have already told him that I am stealing that phrase and if he wants it back he needs to get his European bum over to this side of the Atlantic to get it back, so if you are thinking about using that phrase you better start thinking about royalties!

So Chicago... I knew that I could get back on topic! (*Warning*: I am about to not make a whole lot of sense unless you know me and know how my stream of thoughts normally run) As anyone who knows me relatively well knows, I am a huge Harry Potter fan, I will be the first to admit that I am a Potterhead, and I know that it could be worst very easily. I actually have to restrain myself when it comes to this brand. If I didn't I know that I would be one of those people (adult people) who have the posters and the clothes and everything and I also know how sad that would be. So because of my fan-ness I think that I may need to take another trip to Chicago.

Are you confused yet?

Let me explain. In my daily escapade in the land of Harry Potter (on the Internet) I came across this:

I am hoping and praying that this thing is of the travelling kind. But if it isn't Chi-town it's you and me BABY!

I hope that that clears my scattered post up a little bit. This one might need re-reading. Or perhaps a quiz at the end... Meh, I don't think that I have that much focus left in me.


Okay that is all for this year (maybe)! I wish everyone a Happy Christmas!!!
