welcome!

this is going to be a blog that is separate from the 3 billion other blogs that i'm in charge of and strictly about my upcoming year in the land of garlic and tomatoes. there will be some other subject matter, as i have plans to visit folks in france and ireland and probably a few other places, but for the most part, this is the italia blog. enjoy!

10 January 2008

Countdown status - one month, 8 days.

So, I suck at getting things done on time.  No, really, I do.  I mean, it's not like I've missed important deadlines or anything.  Stuff with Via Lingua is happening slowly but surely, I will eventually have a plane ticket (gr, hiss that I don't have one yet), etc. etc.  But oh my stars.  I have to get a jump on the visa process.  Like yesterday.  I don't want to have issues because I sent in my stuff too late.  Urrrrgh.  So I don't know why I'm wasting time writing about it rather than doing it - a bit counterproductive, I think. 

Meanwhile - I would kill to be in Florence this very second.  A: I am sick.  B: Montana is a cold and miserable place right now, especially as our furnace kicked the bucket yesterday and heat in our house is something entirely reliant on strategically placed space heaters.  We have to keep those space heaters cranked up pretty high, otherwise the pipes will freeze and burst and we will simply have to move.   So, I'm sitting in the basement (where the computer is) and it's EXTREMELY warm down here.  Which is not so welcome as I'm sick and feeling ucky.  C:  I just miss Italy way too much.  I miss the food, I miss the people, I miss the bee-yoo-tee-ful-ness of it all... Really just can't wait to go back.
