When in Rome

Sorry I have been on such a blogging hiatus lately. But I’m back! And to be really honest, I don’t know exactly what I’m going to write about yet….. {fingers tapping, brain offering up options, doooo deee doooo, more finger-tapping}…. This is so much easier when you write every day. Then you’re not thinking over the last month of happenstances and trying to figure out what’s “most interesting” to write about.

Ooooooh yeahhh!!! I’m going to Rome at the end of the month!! My brother, mom and I are heading over to the ancient city to view all of the historic landmarks, eat yummy Italian pizza and use all the cliches we can think of about Rome, i.e. “When in Rome,” “All Roads Lead to Rome,” “Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day,” etc.

I have never been to Italy so I am super excited about this trip! And – to see the silver lining in everything – the Dawgs have been struggling a little {cough, cough, A LOT!} this season, making it much easier to miss the long-awaited UGA vs. FLA game!

Obviously we’re going to check out the Trevi Fountain, the Vatican, the Spanish Steps, the Coliseum… but is there anything else we definitely need to see??

So pumped!!!

Layovers

This may sound like a funny thing to be thankful for, but I love layovers. There is something about having forced down time that just fills my heart with joy. It probably comes from being an overachiever and feeling like sitting around and doing nothing is wrong in some way. So, when I get forced into a situation where I cannot do something, I secretly revel in it.

Right now, I am sitting in the Tampa airport; most of the work I can do here is finished; and I feel completely free to do something for myself (i.e. read, blog, read blogs, research things, etc.). It’s incredible… just sitting and relaxing.

I might even download some iTunes to start replenishing my meager music collection.
