this is the life. i've been so happy lately. i've gone out, done stuff, laughed. i'm so glad that i've gotten my act together recently. i did my taxes yesterday (sort of) to figure out what my return might be. i might be going to germany! that wasn't the smoothest transition, but it just popped into my head and i just blurted it out. germany! that would be so nice. a couple of my friends are talking about going and i've always wanted to go. i could stay with family, meet people i don't know. and hey, maybe that will help in the long term if i want to go live there for a year or whatever. which i've also always kept in the back of my mind as a "maybe".

we would be going in april, and unfortunately i would only be able to go for 2 weeks. (damn, i was getting used to 3 weeks vacation). so i have to watch for seat sales like a hawk, because of course, the cheaper the better. most of our other expenses would be covered. how cool is that? i will have been to europe, asia, and obviously i live in north america. so i suppose i have africa, australia and the really cold places. i have no need to visit those, though. travel is too expensive, and hey i live in canada. i'm already familiar with what really cold places have to offer.

the days are getting longer, the terrible cold snap is over. it was between -30 and -45 celcius for about 2 weeks! now its -10. that's a lot better.

hey, i wonder when my mom is going to europe? maybe we can hookup in rome or paris? how often does a person get to say, "hey, i'll meet you in paris." well, probably a fair bit, but not my type of person or any of the people i know.

i went out with a friend the other day. her sister has the nicest house! paintings that i would hang up on my own walls, big kitchen. nice husband, 3 kids. 2 nice shiny new cars in the driveway. i'll bet they're the kind of people who could say, "hey, i'll meet you in paris." i would like to be one of those kind of people. i can't say that this thought has ever occurred to me before... but while i was at their house i was thinking, What does it take to find yourself in that kind of situation? Where do you go, or who do you meet to find a nice guy that wants to settle down and buy a house, have a good job and raise a family?

then i thought... Do I have a fever? But I didn't. I really do wonder.
