Happy day everyone!

I am sharing some Spring flowers that my husband bought me the other day, just because.

Well,

deep down I think he feels a bit sorry for me these days.

 He knows me so well and I think he knows I have some heavy weighing on my head.

You see every day we are inching closer and closer to our trip to Ireland.

And to be honest, as excited as I am, is as nervous as I am.

I have never really been out of the Country.

Well, let me take that back

I have been to Canada many of times, however, we drove there as growing up in Buffalo, it was a hop skip and a jump away.

And we have been to Puerto Rico once but that too was when we lived in Florida and the trip was not long nor far.

I have a fear of flying.

and this came much later on in life.

Never, ever did I have this fear when I was younger, even in my 20’s and 30’s.

I don’t talk about it much, because I try to act cool, like nothing bothers me,

who me, fear?

I fear nothing.

That is probably the impression, I give many. In fact, I know I do, because people are shocked when I tell them some of my phobes.

A lot of you already know I have a fear of driving on the highway too.

Yes, you have come to know, I have some phobias.

I’m not saying I am nut case or anything {although that is debatable too}

There are more, but that is for another time and topic I suppose.

 Anyway, on top of that all, I am worried about my blog, my posts going up as scheduled,

my blog deciding to act funky while I am gone, and all these little things,

that I probably shouldn’t worry about.

Did I mention,

I worry?

I know once I get to Ireland, I will forget all about you, and my blog.

as well, I should.

Whew…you have no idea how hard I have worked since Christmas to earn extra money for this trip and to help pay for it.

I am talking way more hours than the average Joe.  I am proud, and I did it.

But I do look forward to taking a chill when I get home.

I don’t have to work that hard anymore.

So back to my phobes…

That’s me…Miss Cool calm, collected, head on straight to the World, but the inner me

is a HOT

Hormonal

Mess.

I really think it is all due to my hormones and the aging process.

I bet I am not alone in this feeling

Just not everyone talks about it.

I cope though,

and I keep busy enough not to dwell on “stuff”

It is all going to be an amazing experience for my son, and our family.

I told you

my Mom, sister and brother-in-law are going as well.  We are going to have a blast.

I am excited for my Mom probably the most, as she has never experienced or traveled like this a day in her life.

And we are going to create memories that will last a LIFE time, for all of us.

and you can bet I will come back with a few stories and some awesome pictures!!

I can’t wait to drink a warm guinness!

Thanks for listening to me today, it felt good just to even get that much off my chest.

XO

please don’t judge:)

Oh and in case your wondering, I embellished one of the vases with burlap and some cute little scap book goodies.

And here is just a plain mason jar I used for the other batch of flowers.

Don’t you just love fresh Spring flowers?!
