One Week Away!

So I'm leaving for England in one week and I'm getting very anxious!  I wish I could just jump on the plane and GO!  But just like many other times in life, I have to wait.  However, its not so bad, I'm reading books about England, finishing up my website and spending some time with my family and friends here in St. Louis (which rarely happens anymore).  

It was actually pretty funny, the other day when my mom and I were shopping at the Galleria, we stopped into "Sephora" and inside was a newswoman.  She asked me if I would mind doing an interview with her and while I wasn't too fond of the idea I thought why not.  It was about a new drug that could be used to help thicken and lengthen eyelashes.  I'm not a huge make-up wearer, nor am I very fond of excess spending on beauty products (especially medical ones), so I don't think I gave the answers the drug company may have preferred, but oh well, I had my 20 seconds of fame on the St. Louis news.  

I've also been trying to get used to the cold weather again.  After being in Costa Rica with my family for a week, I've been spoiled with 80 degree weather and warm nights.  But its back to the cold and each day it keeps getting just a little bit colder and its supposed to be 0 here soon....no fun.  I'm a big believer in if its going to be cold there might as well be snow on the ground!  But its just one other preparation for the cold weather in England I suppose and its probably just as well.
