on thursday i was in kelowna at the Q recording my friday night show, thank q its friday (tqif) and i received an email from my program director in vernon. he asked me if my passport would still be valid in december, and if it was, how would i like to be the station rep for wendy's dreamlift day and go to disneyland. my response was something like this: "seriously? pardon my french, but, FUCK YES!" i told him i had never been to disneyland.
i have ALWAYS wanted to go to disneyland. and the pictures that laura took recently with katie's family... made me insanely jealous. my mom always promised when andrew turned 5, we would all go. well... andrew is 17, almost 18, and still none of us have ever been. i think the only two people who are even remotely interested are rhiannon and me... but i am a child at heart, and i want to see it!!! i think going for wendy's dreamlift day would be an amazing experience. basically what will happen (if i pass the application process and all that - but i can't imagine why i wouldn't) is i will get teamed up with a terminally ill or disabled child, and i will get to spend 6 hours in the disneyland park with them. it is this child's dream to visit disneyland. i think i will make an awesome partner for this kid because... well... its my dream too! and i am excited like a little kid about it... its a win win situation!
i think its really funny that i have spent the first 25 years of my life never traveling anywhere of note... and now in the span of 6 months i am spending a month in europe, going to disneyland (hopefully) AND going with my family to mexico. mexico is a plan for dean's birthday. probably in february or something. i will be a travel virgin no more.
i've been working a ton lately. i'm currently at the q covering an afternoon shift. and i have been going to the farmer's market as much as i can (i skipped monday... for fear of rain that never came - bummer). i've been selling so much stuff at the market. i have been producing new stuff constantly to try and keep up with it. its fun. plus, bethany designed me these REALLY cute business cards that i just picked up today from staples. hopefully that will help get my name out there a little more and get me a few more facebook likes, haha.
tyler and i are hoping to get our backpacks this week. all our flights have been purchased. our rail passes have been ordered. and alison is trying to talk us into paying for a hotel for rome and london. i'm not totally sold on a hotel. she said like $150 a night... and i looked it up for both cities... we can stay in a hostel for like 20 euros each. i don't think it is really worth it. i don't know... maybe i will regret making this decision when it comes down to it... especially considering we are only in those cities for one night each... but... oh well. i think we are going to have to get an adapter so we can charge our ipods on the trip with a wall charger. but i think that is the only thing we have to get... i think... i need to make a list. somewhere that i won't lose it.
i can't believe i am going to europe. its insane.
i can't believe i won't be working for 35 days! that's so long. paying rent while we're gone will be so hard... and we still haven't found someone to stay at our house to take care of the cats while we're gone... that's kind of an issue.
