So I've been trying to figure out what dates would be best to go to England.
Here's what I'd love to happen:
Thursday September 30th - Friday October 1st: Fly out to Newcastle.
Saturday Oct. 2nd: Spend the day resting and recouping from the flight, settling in.
Sunday Oct. 3rd: Dive up to Edinburgh and spend the day there bumming around, seeing The Folly, the Zoo, and The Royal Britannia (the Queens yacht).
Monday Oct. 4th - Thursday Oct. 7th: Spend time with David and the kids, getting to know one another, hanging out, doing "British" things, what ever that might be.
Friday Oct. 8th - Sunday Oct. 10th: Take a train to Holyhead, Whales, then a ferry over to Dublin on Friday. Saturday spend the day doing whatever. Sunday take the ferry and train back to Newcastle.
Monday Oct. 11th - Thursday Oct. 14th: Spend more time in Newcastle, doing whatever. At this point in my trip, I would like to spend a few days during the week going to London, but David has talked about taking the funding money and taking all of us to London for the weekend.
Friday Oct. 15th - Sunday Oct. 17th: Spend the weekend in London.
Monday Oct 18th: Spend one last day in Newcastle
Tuesday Oct. 19th: Fly home.
So, that would be there for 19 days, approx. 2 1/2 weeks.
.....
We had a big talk about all this on Sunday, but I haven't pitched this tentative travel schedule to him yet. He keeps telling me I'm welcome as long as I want to stay, but I honestly don't want to be a bother to him. I don't want to over stay my welcome.
He worries that I'll judge him because of his garden (which I won't), and I worry that I'll over stay my welcome and be a burden to him.
Yup, we are two of a kind.
I was extremely sick today - horrible headache accompanied by extreme nausea. I couldn't move with out feeling like I was going to throw up or my head was going to explode. I ended up staying in bed until 3pm, managing to get outta bed, shower, and fix a lovely dinner of a nice, big salad with tuna, some macaroni and cheese and an apple with peanut butter.
Plus, today David was helping a friend install an outdoor toilet for his house for when ever he has BBQ's so that people don't have to come in the house. The friend is extremely wealthy, like Robert Plummer wealthy, and he lays oil rig pipes for a living. So he was probably super tired by 10pm, when I usually call.
Why am I nervous about pitching him an idea? Ugh.
I guess that, like, I have so much I want to do and I don't want to overwhelm him with all this. David is one of those people who..... there are times where he gets really caught up in what he's doing. Nothing else can bother him. And I don't want to disrupt him too much. Yeah, I'm going to be staying with him for almost 2 1/2 weeks, so that will be different. Someone who he's never met, someone who is an American with all of my... American-ness.
I'll tell him all this tomorrow and see what happens. Hopefully he'll be alright with those dates and I'll be buying a plane ticket tomorrow or the day after.
We'll see what happens.
Over and out ♥

October
That's the month that David and I have decided that I should come to England.
I'm so geeked.
We had an hour long conversation today about everything dealing with me coming.
I told him I wanted to go to Scotland, Ireland and London and he was totally cool with that. He said that him and the kids would go with me to Scotland, since I just want to go to Edinburgh and it is literally like 30 minutes away. Dublin we decided that I'll go by myself and he said that he might be able to use the funding money to get us (the kids, him and I) a 3 night stay in London so I can see Big Ben, The Tower of London, Westminster Abby and all that good stuff.
He also said that I could wait until next summer to come, so that the kids will be off school and he would have more money to take me places and I'd have more money saved up, but I promptly shot that down. I've been waiting toooooo long for this. Yes, it does make sense, but... I've been waiting too long. WE have been waiting too long for this.
And, bless his little heart, but he keeps talking about what a mess his garden is! He always says how he doesn't want me to judge him because of his garden. I mean, HOW BAD can it be? And even if it was that bad, I wouldn't judge him.
He is one of the sweetest, caring, thoughtful men that I have ever met and there is no way that any of that is going to change because he has some weeds growing in his garden.
And then he goes and takes a bath :D
...
I'm getting really excited about this.
It's happening:
I'm
going
to
England.
I can't wait :D

Things I Don't Get
I'm a college educated woman.... Or rather, I'm a young woman who is perusing a college education.
There are a lot of things in the world that I still don't understand, and that's fine.
But there are some things that, I feel, I should understand but I don't.
1. Why do parents, on Facebook, post a picture of their kid as a profile picture?
I understand you love your kid and everything, but do you really want someone creeping on your kid while trying to find an adult friend? Just saying.
2. Red Light Cameras
There is this particular intersection on 157 going towards SIUe that, I'll admit, I've ran the red light at a few times (like 6) and it does have red light cameras watching it. I have yet to see a ticket. I honestly think that 3/4's of them are meant to scare people. And the other 1/4th, they are RUTHLESS.
3. Car Bras
Google it if you don't know what that is.
4. Why people fill their lives with obsessions, like Vampires, Wearwolfs, Gaga, guys or Japanese pop groups.
5. Why, if if you're in a committed relationship with someone, you lust for someone else.
Be happy with what you have. (This is NOT something that I'm experiencing, BTW)
6. Facial Tattoos
Unless you're part of an African Tribe or something where they do that. But in most western cultures, no.
I'll add more to this list later.

England Trip
Ok, so, I have not talked to David since Saturday about the whole he-only-got-500-pound-from-the-charity-so-I'm-going-to-England thing.
No worries. It's not out of character for him to be busy and not pick up the phone for a few days.... As many of you know from my freaking about it earlier in our relationship.... Yeah...
Anyway, I've pretty much decided that, if I do go (which, why wouldn't I?) that I'm going to ingest all the the United Kingdom has to offer me.
I want take the UK by storm.
Here's a list of the places I want to visit:
Newcastle upon Tyne - Well, this is where David lives, so, yeah, I'm going there obviously.
Stonehenge - I GoogleMapped this and its about 5 1/2 hours from David's house. I mean, that's not really a 1 day trip, but I wanna go. And, ya know, its freaking Stonehenge!
Westminster Abby - I read this book called "Remember, Remember The 5th Of November, Everything You've Ever Wanted To Know About British History With All The Boring Bits Taken Out" and yes that the title, and I learned of the importance of Westminster Abby and how it was built by King Edward and all that good stuff, so I thought it would be awesome to visit.
And since I'd be in London, might as well add Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, The Globe Theater, and the Tower of London to that list.
Canterbury Cathedral - I don't know how attainable this would be cause its REALLY far away from everything.
Edinburgh, Scotland - Mostly to visit The Folly and be like John Green and describe everything as "Scotland-y".
Dublin, Ireland - Um, hello, Guiness Factory! Oh, and, ya know, it's rich history and... all that lot. And all the stuff listed on this page would be cool also http://www.visitdublin.com/seeanddo/FreeDublin/listing.aspx?id=348
I don't know if all of these places will be visited, I don't even know if any of these places will be visited, period.
Maybe this is some big pipe dream of mine that will never be fulfilled, and that does scare the shit outta me because I've been thinking about all of this and waiting and hoping and waiting and lusting and waiting and waiting and waiting to find out if or if not David got the money to come here for almost 10 months AND he didn't get enough. So now its like the big wheels of fate have been set in motion for this to happen - for me to go there.
I've promised him so many times via phone and internet that I would go meet him if he couldn't come here. And I want to keep my promise.
But it still scares the shit outta me that I might not go. And, honestly, I chalk that feeling up to not talking to him since Saturday. And its only Monday.
This is how crazy I am.
Aside from the craziness and more rationally, all of this poses a great deal of money to be had to visit these places. Train tickets, hotel stays, tour tickets, FOOD. I do have a great deal of money saved up, but do I have enough? I'll have to crunch some number at a later date.
I just want to start planning. I want to get a hold of David. Honestly, I think his phone was broke today or something cause every time I would call, during a 5 hour period, it would ring once then go straight to voice mail.
So much excitment though.... So much to think about....
I seriously go back and forth about 3 times a day if I should go or not. I wake up in the morning thinking, "I'm going to meet David and see England!" and then my self doubt kicks in and I think, "You've never met this man and you're about to run off to his hometown and stay at his house for a few weeks." And then I think, "But isn't that what life is about? Taking chances?"
During this whole thing, I've always thought of this quote that I read a long time ago. It says:
"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. NOBODY said it would be EASY, they just PROMISED it would be WORTH it."
That gives me strength when I have my self doubt.
*sigh*
It'll be ok. I'll land on my feet. I always do.

Movies
I have had a love affair with movies since I can remember.
I love how a movie can suspend your reality for 2 hours or so and only make you focus on what is happening right then on the screen.
I love how wrapped up I get in movies, even the ones I've seen a million times *coughTheHolidayandP.S.ILoveYoucough*
But, here's something I don't understand:
Why is it that all the really hard to understand movies are the ones that get so much critic acclaim?
Last night I was watching this movie called "Rachael, Rachael" directed by Paul Newman.
Speaking of which, in his hay-day, Paul Newman was a stone cold FOX.
*drools*
Yes, my affinity for older men is not creepy.
.....
Moving on....
This movie centers around this 30-something woman who still lives with her mother in the funeral parlor that they run and own. She equates everything to death. She's not suicidal, but she just has a weird fascination with death and dying. She falls in love with a doctor and gives up her virginity to him. Then the mom finds out by finding her stash of condoms and almost has a heart attack. Then she ends up going to the doctor (not the virginity taking one), cause she thought she was preggo, but it turned out to be a cyst on her uterus or some other lady part that was causing her periods to stop. Then she gets SUPER upset about not being preggo, then decides to move to Oregon to take up this teaching job, and her mother comes with.
The End.
Yeah, weird huh?
Some how this movie was nominated for an academy award. I couldn't follow half of the dialog because it jumped around so frequently and with all her flash backs to when she was a child, it just confused the hell outta me.
Another weird movie that was so highly praised was "No Country For Old Men". I don't exactly remember what the plot of this movie is, if it had one to begin with, but I remember some tall guy driving around killing people with this stake thing that shoots out of a metal tube hooked up to an air compressor. And then the movie just ENDS.
AND yet another weird movie that was highly praised was "Million Dollar Baby". Yeah, I cried when *SPOILER ALERT!!* Hilary Swank asked Clint Eastwood to kill her with that weird poison stuff in the needle because she was paralyzed from the neck down, but the getting to that part was kinda drawn out. It seemed like everything happened in the last 20 minutes of the movie. Maybe it was because Clint Eastwood directed the movie and all that it got such acclaim, I don't know, but the movie struck me as one that shouldn't have been up for an academy award.
Maybe I'm not seeing something in these movies that the academy is. Maybe the whole deal is just a big name drop kinda thing. Like, "Holy crap, Clint Eastwood gave the director of this movie some advice on how to shoot a scene in this movie! Lets nominate it for an academy award!!" Or, "Holy crap, Clint Eastwood took a dump in this movie for 5 minutes, we need to nominate it for an academy award!!!"
I guess that's one of the things that puts a bad taste in my mouth about movies sometimes: other people don't like the same ones I do as much as I do.
But to each his own I suppose.

Welp, The Cats Out Of The Bag
Yup, that's right folks, I'm pregnant.
.....
I'm kidding.
But, on a serious note, David and I found out about the funding. And, yes, he DID get it, BUT! he only got 500 pound (which is, like, $750). Yeah, I'll admit it, I'm bummed because there is no way he's going to be able to come up with 1000 more pound to come here. I mean, maybe he could, but I don't see how he'll be able to.
And, honestly, I want him to put that money to better use then coming to see me right now, like getting his internet hooked up at his new house. I mean, I have MORE then enough to go there and see him and have myself a grand 'ol time while there.
So, if you haven't connected the dots yet, I'm going to England.
I don't know when yet. David and I still need to talk about that. When I phoned him today, the kids mom was there and she was very nasty to me, so he said call back later.
I've also kind of decided that, since I am going to England, I'm going to Scotland and Ireland. I've got the time, I've got the money, I'm doing it.
I don't know how, but I'm doing it.
.....
Man, I'm so excited, but so nervous.
What if David doesn't like me? What if he takes one look at me and says, "Um... no." What if the kids don't like me?
Ugh, I'm such a mess. One minute I think, "He'll love me, I know he will." Then the next I think, "What if he doesn't, what will I do?" Then after I think that, I think, "Well, I'll just run off to Ireland for the time I'm there if he doesn't like me."
*sigh*
It will all be ok. It always is.
As David tells me all the time, "We'll be ok babes - we always land on our feet."
And that's why I love him more than anything.

New Goal, Funding, Taking The Semester Off
Alright folks, I have a new goal for myself.
I want to enter something in the Illinois state fair next year. I'm not sure what, be it either vegetables, chickens, baked good, ANYTHING, I want to enter something. Or showcase something.
I don't care if I place or anything, I just want to do it because... well... we live in the Midwest and we take pride in giving awards for things like huge vegetables or good pies.
Its what we do!!
On to other things...
I'm super anxious to hear about David and the funding and everything. Like, if it doesn't happen this week, I'm booking a plane ticket to go there. Seriously. I can't take this waiting much longer.
*sigh*
And I'm nearing on starting my whole "taking this semester off" thing. It's kinda scary. A good portion of my friends are away at school, the only thing I'm really doing is working and.... yeah. I guess I keep thinking about how depressed I get in the winter months and it depresses me. Like I want to avoid that part of the year so much. Just skip to summer all the time.
But, everything has a season and all seasons must come to an end.
*sigh*
..... I just wish I was in England.

Books
I was walking through Borders book store a week or so ago, marveling at all the books and making mental note of the ones I want to buy when I had a thought:
Everyone has a story to tell. Whats yours?
Would your story be a mystery, a fantasy, a romance, a drama, a tragedy?
Would your story be a novel, a sonnet, a short story, an essay, a picture book?
What would the cover look like? Have you ever noticed that when there is a book where the main character is a woman, and it's about love or shoes, that they almost always show just a pair of legs from the thigh down in high heals? Seriously. I hate my legs, so my cover would probably have my boobs or my eyes/hair on it. Just say'n.
Who would play you in the movie adaptation?
I always believe in the truth that our stories are constantly unwritten.
Chapters open and close, but the book is never finished.
I like to think that, right now, I'm in the "Exposition" stage of my book. I'm still going though school, trying to muddle my way though life and figure out myself and the world, trying to maintain friendships and relationships.
I have an amazing boyfriend whom I love dearly and loves me and we're going to meet sometime very, very soon. Who knows where that will go. Shakespeare once said, "Journeys end in lovers meeting." I highly doubt that our journey though life will end when we meet, but our journey for love and to find each other will end.
Maybe a Red Haring will be thrown in some where to my story to throw everyone, my self included, off track.
Will there be an antagonist who will constantly seek to ruin everything?
Who knows.
All I know is that, no matter how everything turns out, I just take things day by day and let chapters open and close as they come.
Over and out ♥
Everyone has a story to tell. Whats yours?
Would your story be a mystery, a fantasy, a romance, a drama, a tragedy?
Would your story be a novel, a sonnet, a short story, an essay, a picture book?
What would the cover look like? Have you ever noticed that when there is a book where the main character is a woman, and it's about love or shoes, that they almost always show just a pair of legs from the thigh down in high heals? Seriously. I hate my legs, so my cover would probably have my boobs or my eyes/hair on it. Just say'n.
Who would play you in the movie adaptation?
I always believe in the truth that our stories are constantly unwritten.
Chapters open and close, but the book is never finished.
I like to think that, right now, I'm in the "Exposition" stage of my book. I'm still going though school, trying to muddle my way though life and figure out myself and the world, trying to maintain friendships and relationships.

Things That I Love...
- I love the way my chickens run up to me when I go out to feed them. It's like they're saying "Hi Mommy!"
- I love the way my dog looks when she sleeps. And the noises she makes. And how she always some how ends up sleeping in my bed with her head in the back of my neck.
- I love the way the world smells right before and after it rains.
- I love pulling warm laundry out of the dryer. And clean bed sheets.
- I love that as I grow older, I grow wiser.
- I love knowing that the quality of your friends is better than the quantity.
- I love that some of my friends and I have a mind link :D
- I love the way David says my name... and the way he says every single word that comes out of his mouth ♥
- I love the twilight hours of the day.
- I love lobsters.
- I love the fact that there is still so much I need to learn.
- I love that I love this crazy life that I lead and that I wouldn't trade it for anything.

*sigh*
I'm searching for something.
I'm not quite sure what that is.
I feel as if I've slipped back into routine and I don't like it.
I want to travel some place far, far away. I want to find out if David got the funding to come here so I can start planning, but we won't know that for a few more weeks. I don't see this as a bad thing. He called the organization and they said that they had to do some more checks on him before he would know anything, which is better than a flat out NO. Also it gives me more time to work and save up money. And I'm taking this semester off of school so it's not like I have any pressing things to attend to.
I want to go to England first and for most to visit David. I also want to go to Scotland while there, cause David is literally spitting distance from there. Also Ireland would be awesome.
I also want to visit Canada. I'm not sure why. I do have a pin pal who lives there who I'd like to visit, but he's all the way over in Surrey. If you're not familiar with your geography, that's all the way over by Washington state. I'd also like to visit Quebec and those French speaking Canadians.
In October I'm going to Mount Rushmore with my parents which I'm SUPER geeked about :-)
I guess I should do something here to shake things up.... But what?
I want to go with Matt to the Offsets and jump off a cliff, but who knows when that will happen. I want to go to a party, but getting my drank on all the time gets old after a while.
I have something to do every day of my summer, but I still yearn for more to silence my restless soul.
