Europe & Such

It's official... I'm leaving for Europe a week from tomorrow.
We bought our tickets, leave April 17th, and I am in a state of absolute bliss. We are flying into Munich, spending a day there. Then taking the train (or perhaps bus) to Prague. Spending 2 1/2 days there, and then on to Brno (where the BF is working for a few hours aka the initial reason behind this trip). Then it's on to Austria, the place I have been dying to go since I was able to sing "the hills are alive." Vienna & Salzburg over the course of 5 days, and then returning to Munich to fly out on Sunday (April 26th).
Now, Not only do I have a wonderful European vacation to look forward to, traveling to places I have never been (but always wanted to go), with my favorite person in the entire world, but at last I have something to plan. AND oh my goodness do I love it. Itineraries, research, packing lists. It is all so wonderfully exciting yet tangible. (We are actually going to do it, and soon, unlike some of my other plans.) I am ignoring my lack of a real job, and just reveling in it all for the next couple weeks. This is the first time since I've stopped working that I have truly felt like I am taking advantage of this time and the "not knowing."
It feels so right.

In other fantastic news. I am completely rearranging furniture, getting rid of old stuff, and doing a full on, floor to ceiling spring cleaning. So far, I am so happy with the result. Everything feels so much fresher and lighter, not to mention cleaner.

I also enjoyed a fantastic sunny afternoon of lunching, shopping, and indulging in some delicious pinkberry with my favorite blogger turned real life friend Danielle yesterday. We have the exact same taste in restaurants, frozen treats, & shopping, so I'd say we are a match.

Well, the rest of my spring cleaning awaits, but I felt like a bit of an update was in order since I seem to have adopted twitter as my new blog.
