T-minus 37 days!

It's coming closer and closer and I'm so nervous yet so excited!  On August 26th I'll be heading down to the cuzzo's house, Karin and Pat, to stay the night with my parents.  August 27th at 6pm I'll board my flight for LONDON HEATHROW!  

[Side note:  I got my voltage converter and it's crazy.  Maybe I'll post a picture at some point.  Why do the English make their outlets so damn big?]

A few things I decided that I have to do:

1) Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross.  I heard they have a little sign there, even though Katie says it looks nothing like the movie.

2)  Take a picture in one of those red phone booths.

3) Pose like a gargoyle with Alex at Harlaxton.  

4) Germany!  I have to find a way to go there.  Oktoberfest perhaps?  Maybe I'll pass up the Lake District trip.

I'm already going to Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, and Italy.

Any more suggestions?

How I Met Your Mother and The Sims 3

Basically the title of this blog sums up my leisure activities for the summer.  I feel like I'm working all the time, and when I get home I do not even feel like going out with friends, though I usually end up at Matt's house at some point or another.

But has anyone ever watched How I Met Your Mother?  That show is just AWESOME.  No other word to describe it.  Besides maybe LEGENDARY.  Neil Patrick Harris just cracks me up.  I borrowed season 1 and 2 from my friend Mike, and I'm obsessed.  I highly recommend it.

Also, The Sims 3!  I know this is cliche but OMG!  It's so awesome.  I waste my life away making weird families that hate each other and have 4 babies, or having a single workaholic woman that wants to be a superstar athlete, or a mom and son that are creepily obsessed with each other . . . it's addicting. You just can't wait to see what they do next!

I'm at work . . . and the HVAC guys are investigating a leak in the ceiling, and they are totally fighting.  Like, being completely bitchy to each other.  One is fat and one is skinny.  I love this.

I know I've been a really crappy blogger.  But I'll make it a point to blog when I'm in Europe.  Aren't you excited?
