I guess its time for another post. :o)

Well I’m super excited about leaving in March. I’m trying to get everything in order so I’m not running around crazy come February. I started looking online for things I need/want and YES the spread sheet has started. I am getting the pink luggage because we all know I need it!

Work well is work, the site might close so no one has any idea what’s going on here. It kind of sucks because I don’t do much all day. No one brings down samples for me so I sit around A LOT. Seems fun right? Yeah maybe for 2 days but not 2 weeks. Good news, I can now get on myspace and facebook while here. So maybe that will cut down my online shopping. (hahaha doubt it) I hate how everyone is always in a bad mood. It just makes me cranky too. I think we’re finding out tomorrow. So maybe I’ll have more info on that then (and well hopefully I’ll have a job. YIKES!)

Other news, I’m going to visit Justin’s parents this weekend. There is this big veteran’s day thing that I told Maura I’d help out with. That should be a fun time and it will be nice to see them and Meg and Dave. Hopefully after that I’m going to visit Michelle for her birthday and see Cheryl on the ride home. So surprisingly eventful weekend. Now I just need some sleep before then.

Ok, I’m going to do it. I’ll talk about Justin being gone. It SUCKS! But I’m dealing. It’s hard to explain more than that. I wish he could talk more or was in a happy mood when he can talk. But I also want a penguin and that’s not happening anytime soon. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that once he leaves Germany he’ll be less cranky. I’ve been mailing packages and letters so hopefully that helps too. Other than his crankiness and our lack of talking on the phone (IM is ok but hearing his voice is so much better) things are going well between us. I’m so glad that I can go to Ukraine and do what I want and he’s still there supporting me even though we’re far away. Its nice to have a relationship like that. I know he doesn’t want to think too much about it much since it’s so far away. But I can’t wait to go traveling with him more (traveling and days off will be discussed more) June 2008 we have a trip to Ireland, England and France tentatively planned. Traveling with Justin is SO much fun, I can’t wait. Hopefully we can meet up in September or something if he has time off then (So then its only 12 months since the last time I saw him). Not seeing him for 16 months might really suck but hey what’s another 4 months if it’s already been 12? Always looking on the bright side :o)

Traveling and time off – (I guess I’m itemizing things now) I have 48 days off. Yeah NOT that much. I’m definitely coming home February 2008, then traveling with Justin June 2008 and coming home for Pumm’s wedding (incase you haven’t heard, my wonderful old roommate Ms. Amanda Pumm is getting married!) Other than that I’m not sure how I’m going to use the time off. I want to see Prague, Vienna and Budapest (hopefully in one trip) and go on a Mediterranean Cruise (hopefully if my dad comes to visit). I’m thinking of traveling June 2009 when I’m done just to be able to get everything in. I want to see so much while I’m there.

I think that’s it for right now. I’ll try to keep everyone posted on what happening in the mind of Katie. :o)
