• Currently Reading The World of Pooh: The Complete Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner (Pooh Original Edition) By A. A. Milne see related

  Here I sit, eating yellow squash out of a blue bowl.  (It's all about color combination, folks.) 

  My life could be currently summed up as:

  Preparing for Ireland. 

  In eight days, I shall be aboard a plane with the other members of Oasis Chorale, headed to the Emerald Isle for a visit of almost three weeks.  I am quite excited.    (That is a broad understatement.)  But, wow...it's taking time to get ready. 

  I've been
  sewing my little fingers off 
  memorizing my little brain out
  praying my little heart out over my passport arrival

  The itinerary looks great...the songs are good...the company appears inspiring...and I'm accomplishing one of my dreams!  One of those things that was on my list of Things to Do Before I Die.  *happy sigh*  I am also very excited about trying to capture Ireland through my camera lens.  "Take lots of pictures," my mom tells me, "and of the landscape, castles, and things like that...not just a bunch of cafe chairs."   

  My time at home is drawing to a close...which is good cause for melancholy thought.  It was far too short a time, enjoying being a complete family again.  Reconnecting with friends and family has been so good...my little brothers and I have been reading Winne-the-Pooh together...hearing Austin's giggle is one of the things I'll miss most.  It's very sad that I'll be saying good-bye to them soon again. 

  Hm.

  Eight days.

  Let the packing begin!
