Sunday Snippets

Brianne Bilyeu, ,

Seven Days to Italy!

A stairway in Perugia, Umbria, Italy

Well I’m off to do a little weekend work, today.  I have a three-day work project that will move along quite nicely if I start it on a Sunday, and this will free up my evenings next week to prepare for the upcoming trip.  The Hubby and I need to

  • Clean the house.
  • Book a hostel room for our one night in Amsterdam.
  • Pick out seats on the plane.
  • Pack, unpack, strategically re-pack.
  • Shop for anything else that didn’t make it into the first two-packings.
  • Bemoan the amount of space available in the luggage.
  • Drop the cat and dog off with the in-laws so they can, you know, eat for the two weeks we’ll be out of town.
  • Do some last-minute reading in the tour guides.
  • Try not to go insane from giddy excitement.

~~~~~

Tonight I hang out with Ashley.  We’re going hiking (much to her disappoint…hiking is just so…free…I mean, how can we have fun if we’re not spending any money???) and having a picnic dinner in the woods.  Fun! I think I may take her to Caponi Art Park in Eagan, MN.  Caponi is a huge, forested area of land filled with sculptures and walking trails, and tonight they’re having a special event: “Dakota Valley Summer Pops Orchestra presents A Patriotic Festival”.

Could be fun!

~~~~~

Sunday Comic Videos!

If you have somehow not seen this short video of Will Ferrell and his landlord, Pearl, do do do treat yourself!

The Landlord <—click here!

Also, if you have seen that gooey, cheesy, horrible meaning-of-life Nicholas Cage/Tea Leoni movie, The Family Man, you may appreciate this mash-up.  I thought it was hilarious, but I haven’t had coffee yet this morning, so who knows?

    Hate packing myself. You can never make everything you need fit and then you have to leave something which turns out to be something you will need later on etc.

    Hiking is a great thing, nothing like being out in the great outdoors!

    These next 7 days will fly by for you, before you know it, you’ll be in Italy 🙂

    Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Kudos

    With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation?
    My website has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced
    but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over
    the web without my agreement. Do you know any methods to
    help protect against content from being ripped off?

    I’d certainly appreciate it.
