It's almost 6AM...

... Why am I still awake?

I procrastinate way too much, I think. But is it really procrastinating when I have so much to do? I take care of the house during the day, I take care of the dogs, I balance two checkbooks (along with two savings accounts), I work, I research colleges, and I plan for something very important that I can't mention just in case someone happens upon this blog like I worry he/she might.

(Not my friends, of course. You guys are totally cool.)

It's stressful... but I shouldn't complain. Things are coming together. I crunched the numbers, and that very important thing is actually looking to be very doable. More so than I had thought initially. I stayed up for two nights trying to figure it all out, and I think it's all going to be okay. Better than okay, even. It's going to be great. I'm very excited.

I'm also working toward this incredible vacation in 2013. Yes... it got pushed back. But it got pushed back for a very important reason!

My (tentative) itinerary includes:
Berlin                                      Stuttgart                                      Budapest
Munich                                   Vienna                                         Prague
Swabian Alb                           Salzburg

Maybe more. It really depends on my budget, but I'm dead set on staying in the Schengen countries for at least two months. Possibly three.

Until then...
