The count down is on again!

This is probably my last night off before my trip. So after running about this morning, helping mom this afternoon, and packing all but my last minute stuff like razor, laptop, hair brush etc. I'm pampering myself with a few home beauty treatments.

This has dual perpous. The obvious is so I look and feel my very best on my trip, and the other is so I chill the fuck out!

I started with a lower leg wax. Then a mud mask. Now I'm on to biore' strips and debating on painting my toes tonight or leaving it for a bit closer. I prolly will paint them tonight.

I have one more store stop to make for the last of my essentials, then except for the obvious, I'll be all packed up. I know it's early, but I don't want to wait until the day before. With my work schedule lately I just won't have the energy and will more than likely forget something important.

Maybe I won't paint my toes. Maybe I'll just call it a night and do them tomorrow. I'm feeling very mellow now.
 
Mom was cleaning out her photo hutch trying to make room for another project when she came across some of my year books from elementery school.

As I looked thru them, one had a note signed on the cover from my dearly departed step-father.

"To a beautiful girl, I am very proud of you-" and he signed it.

it's been so long since I've seen his hand writing. And I actually haven't thought about him since I bought my ticket.

I could never do wrong in his eyes. Everything I did was the most wonderful thing in the world. He was always so proud of me. I could play scales on my sax and he'd swear it was the next great jazz piece.

He would be so proud of me right now, seeing my goal, working hard for it, and following thru to completion. He would also be telling me not to go, that he wouldn't want to loose me. *giggles* And he'd have about a million lepruchan jokes. *giggles*

I think this was just another sign that this is right. He's telling me he's still proud of me, and he aproves of what I'm doing. He always told me I could do anything I set my mind to. My mind is set, I know what I want, and I'm going to get it.

Thank you ----- for being my papa when I needed one and felt abandond by my "real" one. I love you so much, and it's your encouragement that gave me my bubbly confident attitude I carry now. I promise I'll never forget my family, even if I start expanding it over on the Emerald Isle.
 
to my Wenchie..
I am so excited for you and am glad you are going.. YOU know I want to hear all about it.. ;) I am glad you are getting the chance to go to Ireland.. Im jealous =0) Talk to you when you get back.. ;)
 
Wenchie I am very happy for you..I hope that everything goes wonderfully.I am so very excited for you!!
 
Wenchie, you have got us all excited for you!!!

i want to somehow make the next fews days speed up, so you can start your journey. And then once your there, have the days slow way down; so that you and Him can enjoy your time together, fully.

i told my mum that you were going over, and she asked; "Will she kiss the Blarney Stone for me?"

Thats always been her one overseas place to want to get to, but with her age and health; it will never be.

So if you get the chance, kiss the Blarney Stone for her, ok?

{{{{{hugssssss}}}}}

*giggles* This reminds me of the banter that lead to the symotanious PMing that lead to Jounar and I talking on yahoo.

On my thread he was teasing me about how I needed to visit there:
me- "Will I get to kiss the Blarney? ;)"
him- "Darlin, you can kiss anything you want ;)"

*giggles* after that sentence we PMed each other, and well the rest is history.

Unfortunitly I'm fairly certian we won't be anywhere near Blarney Castle. Have to save that bit of acting like a total tourist for another time.





Thank you all for your suport everyone and allowing me to blab on here. It's helped me figure some thing out in my head when I needed to. But now I'm a total nervous reck! :eek: Tonight and Tuesday will be fairly long days, but Tuesday night starts my 9 on 8 off 9 on 8 off, 8 on then I'm flighing that night, so wednesday and thursday will fly by, then I'll be there. :heart: OMG butterflies is so not strong enough a word! :eek:

Hon, with that type of schedule; you probably won't have time to feel the butterflies. You will hit the bed numb...lol

But once again, congrats and enjoy yourself. You deserve it.

{{{Hugssss}}}
 
:nana: :nana:

ONLY 3 DAYS to gooooooo!!!!

Whoohoo!!

All the best, wenchie! Have loads of fun, and hey, be sure to report back to us!!

*giggle*
 
I dont think I have ever posted on here... But I just wanted to say I am so happy for you and I hope everything goes smoothly with your trip.

Having just crossed the pond myself, I know it is a long trip, but you have something so wonderful waiting for you at the end of the trip :) I haven't had time to catch up with the thread, but how long are you over in Ireland for.

I really do hope you have a wonderful time. Anyone in a LD relationship can relate to the waiting and anticipation, so I have my fingers crossed for you Wenchie :rose:

Just go easy on him when you get there ;)

Yes, 13 hours including layovers for me on the way there. That's not counting the hour drive it will take me to get to the airport, or the 2-3 hours prior to the first flight I'll be there getting checked in and what not. Then what ever process I have to do once I'm in Ireland getting my passport stamped and so on.

I'll be in Ireland 9 days. I am just beside myself extatic right now. :cattail:

Today will be my last day where I have a good amount of time between shifts at work. But then it's 3 really close together shifts, and then I'm on my plane. I'm still in a bit of disbelief.
 
41 hours until take off.

I'm going thru a roller coaster of emotions from extactic and bouncy, to nervous and parinoid, to this very mellow almost numb feeling.

I said my goodbyes to mom last night before my shift. I won't get to see her again until after I'm back. And I spent the night working with my store manager telling me about once an hour "promise me come hell or high water you will be on that plane back" at the end of the night she added "or we're coming after you"

We'll see what happens. I really wouldn't want to abandon them like that, just incase I do have to come home, but every day I wish a little more that this was a one way trip.
 
All my best wishes to you! Have a safe trip, try to remain calm (I know it's wicked hard) You've waited a very long time for this meeting. You both deserve an amazing time.

Big hugs and cyberexcitement out to you! I have flown anywhere from 6 to 2 hours to see my PYL for the past 3 years and I still get butterflies while on the plane.

The thought of flying doesn't bother me so much as the thought of getting lost. I'm so afraid that I'm going to miss a connection or something.

I think right now I'm too tired to be over excited. *giggles* but at least I know I'll sleep on the plane this way.

thanks for the well wishes. I'm sure everything will go smashingly. :)

SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!

And don't worry about getting lost. Once you are out of the US, it is almost impossible to get lost in an airport. And whenever you are not sure where to go, just ask any of the airport employees around the airport. Or better yet, while on the plane, ask one of the flight attendant where to go and what to do once you are off the plane.

I flew by myself internationally the first time when I was 16, and didn't even speak any good English, but everybody was really helpful (now I did have less than pleasant experiences later on ... but mostly related to Paris Airport ... :rolleyes:)

Anyway, good luck!
Keep us posted!
And mostly: HAVE FUN! :D
