for the 2 that love me and actually read this

february. where do i start with february. i don't even remember it. laura's birthday weekend was held at our flat. (that was jan though still). it consisted of turning our living room into a sleeping pad. celebrating the kid in her and the adult. who doesn't love a good weekend long slumber party w/ your closest compadres?

sarah got to come play from cheb. that was a nice weekend. good coffee. good talks.

spring break. was. eventful. 

i was supposed to travel w/ bazyn to belgium and meet up w/ bean and brittany for one night in bruges. laura caught the plague of death so she couldn't accompany me. that sent me into a terro

r of sorts. i tend to be one of your more independent individuals - but i hate being alone. haaate it. there is a difference between alone and independent. after complaining to bean about it and working through all my options, i decided not to change any flight, and to brave belgium alone. 

i got to go to a farmer's market and then a flea market where vintage dresses were a must-purchase, walked around in several loops that day, tried the necessary foods - waffles and french fries, drank the necessary beverage - beer - belgian and german beer are the best. but shhhhh - don't tell the cz that i said that. :) got handed some free chocolates "i want that 1..." "just 1?" "yes" "oh - just take it." THANK YOU VERY MUCH I WILL. thank you nice belgian chocolate shop worker :)

bruges is really cute - full of canals and side streets and the best chocolate. i had friends there for 18 hours which was way better. 

traveling alone is fine - but the whole time i was alone - i just kept thinking about how much better it is when you share it with someone. which is how most experiences are. your money, your time, your thoughts, your dreams, your expectations - all better when shared w/ someone. i am truly thankful for all the wonderful people in my life i have around to share my life with. after a night in bruges, i had to spend a good 12 hours getting from bruges to brussells to prague to ostrava, only to wake up the next day at 7am to go skiing in austria. ... ... ... .................
