Countdown
That other, lengthier post is still "in the works". Mostly because I'm no longer in the mind-frame to continue with the topic. In the meantime, I'm trying to establish the habit of posting at least once every couple of days. You might be subjected to ranrdom little snippets, but I'd rather LJ than twitter, so here it is.
I'm precisely 9 weeks away from being home for a much desired vacation. In fact, my plane will be taking off in exactly 9 weeks, to the minute :D
As usual, I'm looking forward to the 16-days break. I fully intend to take advantage of each day, spending it with family and friends. I'll start making a list of all the places I want to go out to eat, all the things I want my mum to make, all the things I want to try making at home for my family, and ... well ever so much more :D
I'm also looking forward to retail therapy. You can't understand the meaning of this phrase, or appreciate its value to the fullest until you have lived in a country that has no concept of a mall! Or brand name stores. I'm not a brand-name kinda girl, but I am looking forward to the blissful feeling of walking into international chain stores where everything is overpriced and feels oh-so-luxurious!
I'm definitely going to hit up Aeropostale for their rocking end of the season clearance racks (woot! more t-shirts :D :D :D) And I'm going to go sandal-happy when shoe shopping. It's convenient that I return at "end of season" time when all things summer will be on sale. I am in desparate need (okay, want) of a wardrobe change :D
9 weeks to go! *insert your own brand of happy dance*
