i need a vacation
desperately. i'm getting annoyed for the most ridiculous reasons at work. and i'm so tired i'm going to die. and i never get to spend time with JESUS cuz i'm too tired from work. i just need to get away.
but where to? first i thought sweden, but my host family was in the middle of moving when i thought that. then i thought sweden again when i found out my parents were going, but they're not going where i want to go. then i thought about going to visit goatherd uncle & family in austria, but turns out they won't be there cuz they're coming home this summer. then i thought i'd go to england and wales with autoemlinda, but she backed out. then i thought about going to colorado for the bfg's wedding, but chick magnet isn't able to go with me. then i thought about going to washington to visit goose cousin's parents (and also goose cousin), but they'll be in israel for 3 months. and then i ran out of ideas. so i'm never going to get to go anywhere.
and once again i must remind myself to never try to make plans based on anyone else (except hobbitsister), because they'll just let you down. (though i know most of these were not the fault of these people, it just worked out this way. it still sucks.)

Spend a week in Spain and the ONLY thing you pay for are plane tickets. No kidding! You stay in a super nice resort and spend the whole time talking to locals in English and they feed/house you and plan all kinds of activities. I was thinking of doing this at the end of October, or when I'm in the UK sometime next fall. Sorry I couldn't afford to go with you to the UK. I promise to let you stay with me and explore for as long as you want when I finally get there myself. Then, it'll be less scary AND more efficient for you, too, since I'll hopefully know my way around town by then. :-)
Or else, you're absolutely right -- don't rely on anyone else! Pick up and go go go :-D
You can come here. Seriously, you're always welcome. But its hot. Really hot.
you can come here!!! We are going to have lovely weather soon! (and I promise not to make you plant flowers with me :) )
i could do something with you over the summer, but sorry i can't afford something as big (read: expensive) as europe... :( any other ideas??
Seriously come here! We'll have two spare rooms in a month and you would both be more than welcome. We could look for the Mountie!
i thank you very much for the invites, kim and busy. but - no offense - you have children and husbands. i would love to see both of you, i just don't think that that's the kind of break i need right now.
and auto, i do understand about the uk thing - i'm just disappointed (not at you, at the circumstances).
and chelley, i have no idea what to do or where to go. i'm tired of planning things that don't work out. but i will come see you when school's out, so that will be a bit of a vacation. :)
i used to like to spin the globe around at my house, and point randomly somewhere & see where it was i was pointing, & say i should go there -- i think that's how we should decide on our next vacation spot (as long as it's not too expensive, of course -- or too dangerous;) (b/c i'm no good at planning either)
oh, btw (random): my uncle says the title of your post every time i see him, & i'm guessing even more often than that ;)
No offense taken, I totally get that.
Why don't you talk to Wendy and see where she's off to next. She's quite the globe-trotter and is probably planning several trips for the next few months!
Is Plaid going to the wedding? Could you possibly go with him? I get that you don't want to travel alone, but Colorado isn't so far away and I'm sure you could hook up with people there, maybe even some Holsby people!
oh yeah - i also forgot to mention that people from my church are on a mission trip right now, working with a new nursing school in cameroon. while normally that would not necessarily appeal to me, one of the women is there to orginize/alphabetize their library. and they're sad there's only one of her. and i didn't find out about that job until the sunday before they left.
aww there will be more mission trips with linguistic-related jobs :)
How about if you come here and I send my kids and husband there? Or I could just send Chris and the boys there. Whatever.
