Now that we got THAT straightened out...

People really need to stop winding up in the hospital in my family. And the weather needs to stop being terrible. Then again, I am going to be doing my research in the frozen tundra known as Eastern Europe. Now that Nana is ok and the brother is coming home in a week, I can leave. Also, I was called in to participate in a jewelry showcase this weekend so I figure I'll do that as well. So MONDAY I will fly out (HAPPY DANCE). Still have to shop for incidentals, thermals, very warm clothes and anti-wipeout boots. Other than that, the emails have been pouring in from important people central to my thesis in Lithuania consenting with gusto for an interview AND all the archives have written back and are thrilled that I'll be visiting. This is all very awesome and slightly overwhelming. I'm so very excited. Things are going to be just incredible. Now I just have to deal with the 3.5 day wait :D
