Okay, I'm practicing one more post before I leave the comforts of home and tell everyone to look at this thing while I'm gone.



This is my favorite picture from my trip 5 years ago, and I wanted to see how to put pictures on the blog while keeping with the theme. (I am both an English teacher and a newspaper adviser after all.)

I hope to keep this up while I'm gone and post other pics, and not bore anyone too much! I hate to be self-indulgent!

Off to the Emerald Isle (the real place, not the bar off Parker Rd) on Wednesday, arriving on Thursday! I can't wait!

Getting ready

Before I leave, I'm getting everything ready, planning, replanning, and replanning again what I should bring, freaking out about air travel, realizing I'll actually be in Ireland soon, buying "necessities" like a new iPod, and just relaxing before the trip.
