Next week, my mom, 2 brothers, and brother al’s girlfriend are going to Florida. And I couldn’t be more jealous. I was invited to go too, but I have an important meeting to go to on Wednesday, so I can’t get time off work (well, I didn’t ask, but considering I am essential to this meeting, I already know what the answer would be). Nuts. Not to mention I have way too much work to do, getting time off in February or March would be nearly impossible for me due to the deadlines on our landfill reports (March 31st). Oma is in Florida since she rented a condo for 6 weeks, so the 4 of them are driving down to spend a week with her. So, maybe CT and I will have to plan a road trip for sometime this year. We are going to go to Niagara Falls for a weekend for our 1st anniversary. And one of our wedding presents was a night in a local B&B, so I think we’ll use that for a weekend getaway in April. I think that will likely be all we can afford for this year. That’s why I’m so darn disappointed about Florida since the trip wouldn’t have cost me much since they’re driving down and staying in Oma’s condo while down there. Oh well, such is life. I just have to get used to the idea that they are going on a family vacation and taking my brother's gf instead of me. Dad isn't going either since he doesn't have a passport. I'm just being a baby because I am jealous.
Speaking of babies, in the last week, CT and I have found out that 4 of our friends are recently expecting. There must be something in the water ;)

That is so not what I thought you were going to say with "speaking of babies...". ;)
How did WI go yesterday?
Nope, no baby in our future yet... But when this does happen, I will of course share it with all of you. I don't think I would be able to keep that kind of secret for long ;)
The WI didn't go so well. I was up 1 pound. But, I think that has to do with the fact that last time I weighed in, it was before lunch (since I couldn't make it to the meeting because I was leaveing for KW) and last night was after supper. So, it should even itself out next week with a loss again. I'm not too worried, I have been staying on plan, so I consider that a success in itself!
I thought the same thing as LJ when you started talking about babies... LOL! :)
I know what you mean about vacations though. I'd love to go somewhere this year, but there's no way I can afford anything. My parents on the other hand are going somewhere in March, then Greece and Italy in October. Yep, I want to go. No, I'm not going. :(
Ya, my parents are going to Spain in August.... so jealous!
Fricking Blogger lost my comment!!!
A summary:
1. Trip to Ontario is the only trip / vacation we have planned this year.
2. When kids are old enough (youngest in grade 1), I want to plan a family trip to Disney World in Florida.
That's too bad.
You don't need a passport to cross the border in a vehicle (yet)...just a birth certificate and photo id.
A passport is required when you fly into the US.
Well my dad isn't a canadian citizen, which makes things more complicated...
He is thinking about applying for his canadian citizenship though, but that takes time.
Oh right. I totally forgot. Yes, that complicates things immensely.
That's too bad that neither of you can go. Florida would be pretty nice right about now. My parents are there right now...so jealous.
heeeheee...i saw the word baby in your post and i thought the same thing as everyone else (except Burger).
