I've been Hibernating

It's easy to do here. It's cold outside. You don't want to go anywhere. The couch is so comfy. Plus what is there to do but go to the movies in the horrible cold weather. Nothing really. It sometimes feels like the city shuts down in the winter. Or that everyone is in the pubs drinking. But this weekend was the first real hint of Spring and it's made me feel a bit invigorated. I went outside. I went to yoga. Later I wore a dress. We did some shopping at an event that was all about local designers. And it's like everyone else came out of their caves as well. The trams were packed and not only were all the people out but they brought their dogs too. It was a good weekend to be in Prague. That doesn't mean that I want to go to work tomorrow but I'm feeling a bit less lazy than normal.

I'm also getting super excited because in 11 days G Unit and I leave for Thailand. It's our first trip to Asia. Score! And we get to spend time with our good friends Jade and Toby who we haven't seen in almost two years. Double Score! And spend time on a beach. And snorkel. And ride an elephant. And maybe pet a tiger. First I have to make it through the 11 days before our flight leaves. And then participate a pesky thing called a conference in Bangkok (which is the reason this trip came up in the first place). And then I get to do all that other stuff.

So the weather is getting better, a trip is on the horizon and there are brownies in the kitchen to eat. All and all a good outlook. I hope things are as bright and shiny in your part of the world too.

  1. I was just thinking to myself, "I bet if I go to CH right now there will be a post from Nuala." AND THEN THERE WAS. Now, either I am a little bit psychic or....No. That is the only explanation.

  2. YAY!!!! YAAAAAAYYY!!!!

    It's pretty much all I think about these days. Can't wait till you guys get here! P.S. It occurs to me I should warn you: maybe avoid fresh, raw fruits & vegetables (cooked veggies are fine) unless you know they've been washed with drinking water for at least 3-4 days in case your stomachs need some adjustment time. And yeah, try to only drink water out of sealed water bottles. :)
