So Many Options
I haven't been blogging as often as I thought I might. I bet if I had a working computer at home I'd be writing every time something "interesting" popped in my head. Hmm... maybe it's a good thing I can't... Well, I've handed it over to be looked at and I'm waiting for the verdict. I think if I'm told it can't be fixed, it would be ok. I really am liking the idea of owning a laptop, and so that would give me a good excuse to get one. However, if I'm told that nothing from the hard drive can be retrieved... well, then I might not be so ok. All my pictures, music, and documents, lost forever... Ugh! Not a good thing. So, let's think positive thoughts. Everything on the hard drive is retrievable, and I will own a laptop by the end of the year. Yes sir, that's the ticket.
I found a really good deal to Peru today. $266, including taxes. I must go to Machu Picchu sometime before I croak. I wish I had the money to take advantage of this deal. With all the travel expenses, hotel, food, and shopping... I'm still looking for way more money than I have at this time. Plus, I'd have to go alone, and I'm not so keen on the idea. I have no qualms going through Europe and the US by myself, but the rest of the planet is a little iffy. I guess it's just not meant to be this time. I'm okay waiting for my turn.
I've been told by my boss, that I should think about taking vacation during this quiet time... They're trying to cut hours, as everyone else is these days. At least they're not "downsizing" or whatever. I still have a job, and for that I am thankful. I really don't want to use vacation hours just to stay home and sit on my ass. I'd rather go somewhere. Peru would have been nice, but we've discussed that already. I need most of my vacation for the summer, as I plan on catching a few Minnesota Twins game outside of the Metrodome. I'm already excited!
They're playing in Saint Louis and Kansas City this June, and that just seems way too convenient to miss. You know, like "killing two birds with one stone" convenient. Haven't decided if we're flying or driving or taking the train... Amtrak has a kickin' $25 one-way ticket from St. Louis to Kansas City promotion (so, $50 round trip, for the mathematically challenged). How convenient!
My friend wants to see the Cubs play at Wrigley, and if memory serves me right, they are retiring Wrigley after this season, so we really should check into that. The Chicago White Sox and Cubs play against each other at both venues in June... so, I think that wont work. But the Twins play both Chicago teams back to back in April and May. One of those sets must work... So much to think about. And so little time to waste!
Have I mentioned I'm excited?!
Heck, I just figured out the Twins play the Brewers right before they head to St. Louis! Holy Hannah is this a Road Trip or what?!! This is my plan... We catch the Twins vs. Brewers on June 25, the Chicago White Sox vs. the Cubs on June 26. We travel to St. Louis, we see the Twins vs. St. Louis on June 28, and then vs. Kansas City on June 30. Holy mackerel! I'm flippin' out! Now, if I can get my friend to agree, we're all set!!!!!
Gotta go work this out now. Wish me luck!
