Butter-flys

  • Posted on January 28, 2007 at 22:30

I have a huge case of the flys in my butter belly!  (Translated=Butterflies in my stomach)

I dont know why i do.  I guess we all do somewhat when we travel, or fly or something.  I shouldnt.  I have done this trip many many times.  And once i get on the first flight i will be fine.  The second i will be fine til i land at LAX, then i will be a little worried/hyped for a bit until i get myself around to the international terminal and get thru security and i will be fine again.  Then i will have to get myself into mellow mode for the next 15 or so hours.  I am usually REALLY good for about 10 hours, then i start getting very annoyed.  I am usually so over tired and hot and bothered by then.    Sitting in a chair suited for a skinny person isnt very comfortable.  I get jealous when you can look up and see the first class chairs turn down into beds.  THEY suck!  When i have a spare 8K lying around i will fly first class sometime.  Ha, what a joke.  I can barely afford the 2K i am paying now.  :)

Its is also hard to leave Nathan, cause last time i did it was a very bad experience, since i didnt know when i would see him next.  We had been living together for about 2 yrs, and i needed to go home to get a new visa, as we were not married at that point.  I think i was away 4-7 weeks.  We thought it could be 4 or so months.   I am glad he will be following me in 2 weeks.  :)

I also find it hard to leave my house.  Sounds stupid i know.  But if u knew me well, you would know i like my own bed, my own pillows, and blankets a lil more then most people.   My pillow travels with me everywhere, just so i will sleep :)

I am also a lil freaked out cause i am not taking any stamping gear with me.  I just dont have the room for it this time.  And i am going to get 8 new Stampin up sets delivered anyday.  I will have to wait almost 8 weeks to get them put together and used.  I also just brought 6 new stamps the other day i havent touched yet, and really want too.   I told Nathan i will have to get my craft fix by going to Spotlight at home, its like a Joann’s Fabrics.  One half fabric, the other half crafts of all sorts.  Last time i was there, they had a awesome stamp section started, but i have a feeling my friend told me they sold them all off, since Stamping really hasent hit my town yet.  Maybe they will have a cool scrapbooking section???  Let hope.   Well i know of one scrapbook store while i am in Adelaide i will have to go there………..Mum has alot of scrapbooking stuff, so atleast i can do a page or two if i really needed a fix.  Man, sounds like i have a addiction. *grins*

Its just hard to be a guest in someone elses home after you have been out and had your own home.   Before moving to the USA,  i still lived at my parents house as i was away in the USA 3-4 months of the year at camp every year, so i couldnt get something just to turn around and give it up, or have it rented by someone else etc.   Up until about 5 months ago i still had my room at home.  It seems my lil bro has now moved into it, as i had the cool fixings like dvd,vid,Cd,computer etc in it.  Now i guess all my stuff is dumped into the spare room and i have to go thru it all once home and either get rid of it, or box it up and put it in the shed.

I am sitting here babbling away.  I guess it is calming the nerves some…….silly me.

The good things…..Friends, family, SUMMER, aussie foods, the beach,weddings, babies!
