Happy February

I was updating my blog with posts I had held as drafts. I was hoping they would appear at the top because when I open my blog the first thing I see is my hurt ear. Yuck! I decided I better write a quick blog just to get the picture to move down. :) I'm at work needing to do many many many things. I have decided to catch up on a few things including emails. It was snowing (ok just flurries) this morning. It was so pretty. I would much prefer to be in a warm climate, but since I'm not, I enjoy the snow flurries. :)

School has started again so of course my stress level has reved up. Night before last I woke up at 2:00 am and could not go back to sleep. My brain just would not turn off. I stayed in bed for an hour and then just gave up. The good part is that I was able to catch up on some of my readings for class. I am going to be learning about Second Life this semester. I don't know much about it so I'm really excited to get a better idea of what it is and how to use it.

I went to a friends house to help her pack for a cruise. She is just so adorable and she makes me laugh. I was thinking how interesting people are. We often see things so much differently. For example, she is bringing a lot of jewelry. When I travel I only take what I am wearing on my person- nothing else. I only take things that if they were stolen I wouldn't be too sad about losing. That works for me, but for others it's just part of them to change jewelry or clothes or whatever. One way isn't better than the other. It's what we are comfortable with. This past year in my many travels I have only brought a carry on and it has really helped me minimize what I take. I am looking forward to more travels after school is done.
