Friday was the big “make the commitment” day for me on the London trip. I paid the application fee, sent my passport renewal in and enrolled in the winter inter-session class for it. Plane tickets are on hold for me so I’m pretty stoked! British Airways has a direct flight from Phoenix to London and back which is amazing to me. I’m not going to book my flights until I’m sure I can go though. No sense in spending that kinda money

My birthday is in 2 days. I sent mom flowers on Saturday since she was having a party and I wanted her to show them off to her friends

I got an email about a study abroad program that sends me to the UK for three weeks, and – get this – requires me to take pictures for credit. Amazing, right?!?!

So I’m trying to figure out how to get all this taken care of.

I have to get a new passport too since I’m old enough to have had one expire already

Speaking of OLD – 7 days till the big Three-Oh

Yoiks!

Cute idea in the video, however it isn’t very practical in my situation. Mr. Bigglesworth routinely tries to eat these.

Can you spot what doesn’t belong?

I’s leaving the city for the camping in the woods.

But I leave you with a lovely link to the most scrumptious purrito ever!

Oh, and you simply must go watch Winston be annoyed.

I’ve been going nonstop this week – one day left till the weekend!

I have succumbed.

Starry, Stormy Night.

Nothing brings out the consumer whore in me like the technolust that I experience whenever Apple makes something new. The new multi-touch iPods and the $200 cheaper iPhone are pretty much testing my ability to maintain reason and sanity. $399. Too easy…
