2010

So.

1. We found a cleaning lady, and she started three days ago. I'm still trying to get over the fact that I believe she used our "cat shampoo wipes" to clean the dining room table, and have plans to hide them next time.
2. Kenya is booked, we leave the 16th at night are arrive back in Rome Christmas eve. Happy doesn't even begin to describe.

2010 is pending, arriving, creeping up. In these days where I feel like I spend much more time waiting for than doing -- i'm looking to the turn in year to begin a life more decided, more active, more foreward (make sense?).

So i'm going to plan trip B to exotic and less trodden location, i'm going to ask for a raise, i'm going to start looking for a bigger house, with a terrace, i'm going to become an auntie (jac's sister is pregnant), i'm going to cook more for jac (banana bread on the cooling rack as I type), i'm going to get my spanish (language) back, i'm going to live in Barcelona for a year, i'm going to go out more on the weekends.

But first of all, i'm going to Kenya.

Jac is on the couch with Yin and Yang (respectively, my nicknames for our white and black cats) watching a soccer game -- and it's not cold yet, and 2010 is almost here.
