My plane from K.C. to Chicago should be taking off at this time tomorrow, and I can’t wait! I’ve packed my bag, but I think I’ve packed too much, so I need to thin it out. I’m officially wired, and a nervous wreck. It really hasn’t hit me yet that I’m going to be gone for two whole months! It’s scary to think that far ahead, so I think I’ll just concentrate on today. One day at a time…

I’m getting a tatoo in Amsterdam. :eek: It’s going to be a tiger, and it’s going to look like this, but only smaller and on one of my shoulder blades.

I was going to write more, but I’ve got some things I need to do, so I’ll come back later to edit this.
