bloggy blog, i missed you!

i haven't written since nov 8, blogger tells me. don't worry, though, i've been thinking of you the whole time :-) actually, i wrote in my notebook on my trip to copenhagen and on the way home to paris as well. i think i'll type that here first, then fill you in on the weekend stuff.

9/11/07 at the airport in amsterdam
the amsterdam airport is dressed up for christmas! this makes me so giddy and happy. when i walked out of hte plane and saw the christmas lights, i lit up myself and i think i let out a gasp of joy. i had to bite my lip to keep my smile from taking over my whole face.

a few exceptional christmas songs slipped curiously on to my ipod without my knowing. i suspect that mr saint nick himself had something to do with this (or that tricky mal...). either way, i'm SO happy that elvis is singing blue christmas into my ears right now and amsterdam xmas lights are hanging all around.

this airport won't be a bad place spend 3 hours on my way home :-)

p.s. starbucks gingerbread lattes are here! one on the way home will be delightful.


9/11/07 on the plane to copenhagen
"the weather in copenhagen is a little more uhhhh...colder, a little more windier and a little more wetter." LOL. thanks, flight announcer. i like this guy. this trip (although delayed) has already begun quite splendidly.


9/11/07 about halfway through the flight
this flight could not get any better. first i finished my book (mary higgins clark mystery, so it put me on edge and gave me an adrenaline rush). then, the next time i looked up, i saw that friends was on the screen. NO WAY! it was the one where they try to name all 50 states on thanksgiving.

shortly after the beginning part of the episode, dinner came around. a funny flight attendant offered me my choice of sandwiches and another flight attendant asked me what i wanted to drink. i kicked myself for not ordering wine earlier (come on, i'm on vacation! i should gotten my mini bottle of wine. but, i'm still under the impression that i'm too young for that. drinking is sitll illegal to me), so i asked for white wine this time.

so i LOLed at friends, enjoyed my bacon and egg sandwich and got a little tipsy on free wine. this whole trip is worth it if just for the flight.
