Aaahhh, I’m having a nice and relaxing Easter weekend so far. Hope all of you are as well.<\/p>\n
I had Friday off from work, which was so great. \ud83d\ude00 I got the chance to meet up with friends for lunch and we checked out the new H&M<\/a> that opened up near my apartment. Then to top off my day, I got a much-needed pedicure. If only life could be as simple as this…<\/p>\n I’ve recently become seriously addicted to The Travel Channel<\/a>. I’ve been recording the daily reruns of Passport to Europe<\/a>. Samantha Brown, the host, can sometimes border on annoying and cheesy (a la Rachael Ray) but whatever, it’s EUROPE. *sigh* I wish there was a way to make travelling my day job. Or just to have the time and money to leave everything and travel through Europe for a month. I even checked out the 5 Takes<\/a> website to see if they were casting. LOL. (It’s a reality show where 5 travelers are chosen to be immersed in a country and the online community on the Travel Channel site decides their daily activities, their next destination, etc). Unfortunately, you have to be 30-39 to apply. WHAT IS WRONG WITH BEING 27? \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n The one regret I have about my college experience is that I didn’t take time over the summers to travel. I spent all my summer vacations fitting in summer school so I could graduate with a double major. If I could, I’d go back and change that in a heartbeat. I’d have taken an extra year to graduate or even applied to a study abroad program. Everything’s 20\/20 in hindsight, right?<\/p>\n I’m also loving the Travel Channel’s 1,000 Places to See Before You Die<\/a>. This show chronicles the adventures of a really lucky couple who gets to travel around the world for a few months. (The show’s based on the book of the same name). I found out about this show in Paris from our Segway tour guide. He had just finished filming a segment for the show a few nights before, which featured the Segway tour. I can’t wait to see the episode when they get to Paris. So far, they’ve been to Alaska and Italy and every time the episode is over, I am SO JEALOUS. Can you imagine? 13 weeks. All expenses paid. LUCKY.<\/p>\n In honor of Easter, I thought I’d share this link to the 2007 US State Easter Eggs<\/a>. It’s an annual tradition that each state (plus DC) submits a decorated egg to the White House. I think it’s kinda fun. My favorites are Georgia, Maine and Washington.<\/p>\n Ok, enough randomness for today… I’m off to watch the first episode of The Tudors<\/i>. Jonathan Rhys Meyers! WOOT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Aaahhh, I’m having a nice and relaxing Easter weekend so far. Hope all of you are as well.
