kiss the blarney stone

after much deliberation, jason and i have decided to kick off our 2007 eurojourney in Ireland. we are lucky enough to have a very good friend of ours living in cork county, so off to shiralley-welly's we go! then from the southwest corner we'll be driving up the east coast to dublin, stopping to kiss the blarney stone along the way. (as i person freakingly scared of heights -- even 1m -- this will be quite an experience)

Ireland.

i am going to overdose on de kilkenny

YUMMY!

and.......if time allows, we'll spend the remainder of our vacation in london (i didn't get to go into westminster abbey) and maybe take the eurostar over to paris for a few days. (cross your fingers!)

YAY EUROTRIP 2007!!!!!!

single line pls

tomorrow i'm going to join the hordes of people lining up to get their passport renewed. although my passport expires in august, i plan on travelling in september again and better not leave it till the last minute. it's ridiculous really, this whole lining up for 5 hours thing. and it doesn't help that the american whatshisface said that instead of 2009 being the deadline to get your passport for land-travel cross borders, it's been moved up to 2008. (who understands this constant american fear and paranoia?) so i'm thinking the lineups will be even worse. and apparently, you're not allowed to smile in your passport photo anymore so my picture looks like a terrible mugshot.
why make travel such a pain in the ass now??

correction:

the bank did credit my account.
FINALLY!
a ZERO balance on my visa!!!

and in return, they hiked up my credit limit.
pfft.

say NO TO CREDIT CARDS!

busy march

lots of things going on in march. mostly work or school related. where did february go?
2 seminars, a midterm and a friend staying with us this upcoming weekend.
renew passport, training seminar next week.
product launch the week after next.
then the last week of the month is always shitty since it's month end.

bank still hasn't credited my account. wtf.

i need more than 24 hours a day. or maybe one more day to the week.
that'd be nice.
