Bye Bye San Fran

If you haven't been watching the gChat countdown, today is my last day in SF before I take off for Ireland. Surprisingly, I'm not going too insane. I usually stress out big time before major events since I am a chronic OCD/perfectionist/everything-needs-to-be-organized-and-on-a-list crazy person. But for some reason, I haven't been too stressed out about this one. Dun dun dunnnnn...that probably means I'm going to have a major breakdown tonight :)

The packing has been a bit chaotic....I've loaded up my biggest suitcase with the sweaters and coats and whatnot, but still have shoes, jeans, socks, underwear, makeup, etc etc etc to go (the list gets longer every day!!!!). But I figure it will all get done or....it won't and I'm off tomorrow morning either way. 

I've spent a great deal of time preparing with the stuff that probably could have been alright if I didn't get to it (hello, this blog!), but I sleep great knowing that my Sex in the City dvd is back at blockbuster and my plant has been watered one last time before moving to its new home at Chris's apartment, haha. There are a lot of things I meant to do before I took off and that I can't remember what they were, so if they involved any of you....I'm really really sorry :)

Anyhow, this was just meant to be an intro for you all to my biggest adventure to date and see if this blog feed thing actually works! Hope all is well with you in your neck of the woods! Whether I'll see you tonight or it's been a few months, I'll miss you while I'm gone and can't wait to see you again soon!

Things I'll Miss:
  1. text messaging
  2. PST time zone
  3. football season (and maybe USC if they get their act together...)
  4. sushi (i hear it's quite awful over there)
  5. smoke-free restaurants & bars
  6. Thanksgiving
  7. all my favorite tv shows
  8. Saturday morning at the farmer's market
  9. my dentist appointment...oops!
...and YOU! (duh)

Things I won't Miss:
  1. commuting & waking up between 4 & 6a.m.
  2. San Francisco fog
  3. bringing my laundry to work
  4. my upstairs neighbors moving furniture EVERY NIGHT at midnight
  5. the gym haha
  6. being so far away from & hardly able to talk to my friends in Euro

Anne- the restaurants and bars should be smoke free- no?

And as for the neighbours moving furniture around at midnight- those were the days, I TOTALLY relate to that- and the Mexican jamborees below you also and the damn parrots too!
