Last week....

Last day with my peeps has begun

Omg , I can't believe the day has finally arrived---after some good times with my friends and pleasant days with my kids, I can feel the tension rising up my chest and making me think about my upcoming trip all the time..

so much to do, so much to do... packing (both my suitcases had been overweigh, so I need to figure something new out...), charge all my electronic supplies, stuff everything in my carry-on that's possible, check in online, and still be here for the kids and enjoy time with them..

Honestly, it is a little much, but whatcha gonna do...

I am looking back to a year full of ups and downs, fun, visits and trips... 

can't believe I have been here for a year!

:))

I did it!

Finishing up...

Alrighty, bank account closed, suitcases all packed up, last pictures taken with friends, getting more excited about the upcoming trip every day and working out to get a little bit more in shape for the pictures of the vacation ;) I am ready!!!
THis week I had a cooking-evening with my friend Vanessa...I cooked pasta while she was responsible for the dessert-- yuummy Phillies ice cream!!! wow, I have not eaten so much ice cream in a long long time ;)
It was a great evening, and I spent some special evenings with my friends ... it will be sad to say goodbye!

C u soon

To Do List

Suitcases are packed, are not even too heavy and I am getting excited- five more skype-dates with Dani to go and then I am gonna be in Chicago on vacation!
Can't believe how fast time is flying right now- it's already Tuesday again, my room is cleaned, just the clothes that I'm gonna wear this week are left outside the suitcase and I am thinking about how to handle my carry-on luggage... aah, I am just so excited!!!
The weekend was a relaxed one, though... went to a mall for the last time, spent time with friends, and discovered an All-you-can-eat china buffet--I dunno if it's a good thing that I discovered it that late or a good thing...hmm---it was delicious, anyway ;)
Sushi, Chicken, Veggies, Chinese sauces, baked bananas, chocolate fountain, soy ... mmmh yum!

Hope u had a great weekend too!

Mission Impossible!!!!

That's what I called my new project- packing all my stuff in two suitcases..
it is just too much! I mean I was very well aware of that fact, but I hadn't realized before HOW MUCH stuff I REALLY have!
So, I started out to divide my clothes into several piles--- the clothes I want to keep are just too many..I am so screwed... The pile that I would liiiike to take home but will have to stay here if there's not enough space is pretty big too, although I am doing pretty good on throwing out the stuff I know I am not gonna wear again...
well...here are these two piles first:

and here is the stuff I would like to take home---every pile is about 40-50 cm high..shoot!

and of course my shoes..although some flipflops, my pair of sneakers and my running shoes are missing in the pic... :/

what am I gonna do?
