Same ol' Same ol'...

Unfortunately I don't have much to comment on today.. but figured I would still keep everyone in the loop about our plans over the next couple weeks!

Originally, I was only planning to be in Texas for one more week.. however the family that I work for is having a very difficult time finding a replacement. So I've agreed to take on one extra week. Therefore I'll be here until the 27th. My mom has already planned to fly in that night and we're going to head out on Saturday morning (the 28th). We hope to be home in Georgia by dinner time on Sunday, the 29th.

Thomas is in Italy right now. He left on Friday and will be back this coming Saturday. He's still adjusting to the change in time but seems to be having a good time. Maybe too much of a good time! He called me yesterday and said he was sitting in a local bar (killing some time) and reading an Italian book when an Italian man approached him and proceeded to have a conversation with him for over an hour.. and also insisted on buying him lots of drinks! He then had a dinner with his boss to attend.. which thankfully he was able to walk to. Somehow, he made it through dinner (with more drinking.. and more Grappa shots that his boss and fellow Russian Dealers insisted on) and called me once he got back to the room. I eventually convinced him to go to bed.. and surprise surprise.. someone overslept this morning! Luckily he is up and going and seems to be handling the day well. But Im going to assume that drinking may be kept to a minimum the rest of the trip :)

There is already talk of another trip to Italy in April.. and Im extremely hopeful that we can work it out for me to go this time also! At least this time, we're given enough notice that we can do a little planning.

By the time I get back to Georgia, it'll be a month since Thomas and I have seen each other and Im really looking forward to it. I have missed him (and Harley boy) tons!! I've given myself a couple of weeks to get settled and unpacked and then I'll be returning to Austin for one week at the end of February to help out the Miller Family once more. They are taking a trip to Hawaii and have decided to leave the twins behind. So Im going to fly in and stay with the twins for the week. Of course I wish that I could be going with them!! But I do understand why they want to leave them behind. They are still to little to enjoy a trip to Hawaii and would definitely limit the activities of the family.
After that, my job plans are still up in the air. I'm throwing several things out there and am really trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up! Or maybe I just want to remain a Toys R Us Kid? :)

Adios for now. Time to head off to work!
