It's Summetime

and I am working my booty off every day. I work six days a week and I average between 45-50 hours a week. Man, it's like I'm a grown-up or something. But that means money for Europe, so I take as many hours as they will give me. Although those 12 hour days that I was working last week weren't making me too happy.

I still have so much to plan and pay for before I leave in August. Aimee and I have to book and pay for a hotel room for our first night in New York. Plus, we are going to try and go to a Yankees game, so we should buy those tickets soon. I have no idea what else we will be doing in New York. Just playing that by ear I guess. Then we have to book a room for our first night in London. Not sure yet if we are going hostel or hotel. Also not sure whether we will be spending our three free days in London or maybe heading up into Scotland with another girl from NAU who is teaching in Hanau. Or maybe leaving the UK and going straight to the Continent. No clue. Our plans keep changing. We will have to get it together soon, though, so that we can book reservations and stuff. I still have to buy a train pass for the time I'll be there. I also have to buy a bunch of other little things, like a converter kit, but I'm going to hold off until later in the summer to do all that.

Right now I am trying to focus on my brother's wedding, which is in August. I bought my shoes last night, and the other bridesmaid and I scheduled a fitting for our dresses for next Thursday. I also have to make a couple of appointments to have my hair done. Ugh, I'd rather just do it myself, but since it would come out looking like crap, I guess I shouldn't. My mom and I are throwing Shannon a bridal shower in a month, and that is turning out to be more work than I expected. I printed the invitations two nights ago. I am just waiting for Shannon to give me her list with addresses so that I can get things sent out. Then we have to buy party gifts for the guests, a shower gift for Shanny, decorations, food (plus plan a menu).
