This week has been one of those weeks that are hard to get a grasp on, you know what I mean. Like, you look down and hey, it's Thursday! Well, here we go:
Solitude: My family went to Florida to visit family, as I'm saving up my vacation time for my trip to UK I elected to stay home. This means I have the house to myself, which I really love for short periods of time anyway. Have you ever take the Myers-Briggs personality test? I really like them, one part of your personality it takes into account is whether you're an introvert or an extrovert (the definition I like best for these terms is that introverts tire easily around lots of people and need alone time to recharge while extroverts get more energy being around people-it's not about liking people or not) And, it doesn't just tell you whether you're one or another it sort of gives you a ratio. It turns out I'm 50% introvert 50% extrovert so I get energized around people but tired really quick and need to be alone to charge back up, but after a while I need to be around people again. So very complicated but it sorta explains my delight/trepidation about being all by myself. I love it for a while, but I'll be happy when my friend Jen comes to stay on Friday (tomorrow!)
Jen Coming to Stay: Jen is my lovely lovely friend from TCU, she's a NICU nurse which means she's absolutely amazing, working with premie babies in the ICU something I could never ever do. She's also an adventuress, and has the worst luck with first dates (through NO fault of her own, but I want her to write a book about her experiences) and she convinced me to raise $4,000+ to go to Australia for a month, something I will always be grateful to her for. This August we're travelling to the UK together to visit some friends we met while in Oz and to see what there is to see (I've heard there's a lot :P). Anyway, she's driving down from Fort Worth for the weekend so we can finalize a lot of our plans, short flights, train tickets, places to stay etc. I cannot wait. I love her. :)
The Tardis: Well, I always love the Tardis (the Doctor's time machine) but this week, I especially love it. My sister gave me a model making kit to build the interior to the Tardis, only it's crazy complicated and time consuming. I'm about half through and that's only because Nick and Jessica were over and they helped/did all the work. Now I'm on my own with it, it may never get finished...Speaking of Nick and Jessica, he ordered a tshirt that shows the Delorean crashing into the Tardis (I was very jealous) and when he complained to the company that is was taking forever to arrive they sent him an extra which he sent to me! Yay good friends! It needs to be altered a bit to fit right, but I'm so excited about it! Here's what it looks like:
Let's see..what else to love? Nutella, pancakes and beer for dinner, not hating the 10things I hate about you show on ABCfamily, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, being asked to illustrate a children's books (Whhhhhat??), plans to go to Philly next weekend, happy children, new music (Paolo Nutini's album These Streets, listen to Jenny Don't Be Hasty, and New Shoes especially) and much more, but I'm hungry now and will hopefully be leaving soon to go home. So more next week!
DFTBA!

Nutellaaaaa om nom nom nom. I left an unopened jar here back in February and the heat made it super oily, it was pretty interesting trying to get it back to its regular viscosity! haha.
So excited to hear more about your trip! I'm going to put my savings to good use sometime soon I hope. I really want to do a proper all-out super trip for a month or two, rather than just weekends away here and there. Always worth the months of saving up and planning =)
