what's this???

So, after 8 years with my trusty Nike running shoes, I decided it was time to go out and buy new shoes. If this fact hasn't tipped you off to the hard truth of my complete lack of regular exercise, let me be blunt...I rarely exercise. However, it is time to change things and so my first step is getting new shoes...easier said than done. The sports shoe walls at the local mall were covered in these:

What in the world? I suddenly felt very old standing in front of one of those walls...

Flight Plans!

First, I suppose I should apologize for my lack of posting in the past few weeks, but really, it's hard to post about events that don't seem too interesting to me, let alone to everyone else. However, I do have some Scotland-related news now. I have my itinerary for my first ever international flight! As it stands now, I will be officially starting my new life phase on January 6th, 2009. What makes this even more exciting is that last week, there were a few misunderstandings in regards to my flight plans, and I was beginning to get a little nervous. For some reason my e-mails weren't getting to the people they needed to get to, so things were moving much slower than they ought to be. I also had been told that I would be flying out later than my partner which made me very very nervous! I had expected us to fly together...I mean, that makes sense doesn't it? Anyway, after a week of uncertainty and a bit of anxiousness on my part, I received my new itinerary and it looks great. I will be flying out of the country with my partner now and can breathe a sigh of relief!

Having my itinerary also makes this whole thing seem more real. Lately it feels like more of a dream than anything because it seems too good to be true. I wouldn't blame people if they thought I was making the whole thing up! But now, I have my route to Scotland on paper....ahhhhhh...

And, apologies for the lack of interesting pictures on this post...but I intend to post a picture of the very very pink, recently painted foyer of my new house. I know I know, pink is scary...just wait and see!
