I always get *so* excited for travel plans.

The family vacation in August is *booked* . Me and 10 other family members on a ship -- nice!! It would have been nice if any of the Australian contingent could have joined us. Maybe they still will. It'd be great if Q was there. I miss her! This is just family from my mom's side.

I said to my mom one day that I would like to be with a guy who has a big family, and she said that was a bad idea. My dad has (or had) 7 sisters and 1 brother. None of them really seem to get along. They're always bickering and someone is always not talking to someone else because she's pissed off. Or there is just a lot of gossip, and nobody can mind her own business. My mom made a good point. My mom has 3 brothers, and they all had 2 or 3 kids, and we're all quite close in age. It's a good time :)

 Let's see...I have 7 months go get into *really* good shape. I need to find a running plan. My trainer had given me one years ago, but I think I may have tossed it. And now since they all know I have a tattoo, I don't have to worry about what kind of bathing suit to wear!!

 And Vegas! I just checked some flight prices, and they have *dropped* a couple  of hundred!!!!! I must book asap since the conference details just came out. I'm going to tag on an extra day for vacation!! I wonder if I will have to book this trip myself. We have someone in the office who does this kind of stuff, but she is not too bright. Therefore, I do not trust her.

Wahoo! <--I've been using that word more often lately. It's replacing "man".

 I am really looking forward to doing some shopping :) I need a travel alarm clock.
