travel bug.

wow!! i have both thursday, july 3rd & july 4th off!!! I should be doing something!! Going somewhere!!! But with who? Or, if by myself – to where?

Someplace on the beach sounds dreamy (the beach always sounds dreamy to me). Even L.A. would be fun, but I’d want someone to go with me. I need more friends in L.A.

But part of me doesn’t wanna travel. It sounds nice to be home and relax. I have dinner planned w/ my friends up north. And I’ll probably take a hike up in Marin… or maybe I’ll spend some time down in Santa Cruz w/ my bro. I’m sure the weekend will fill up just fine… but thinking about having 4 days off and not going anywhere sorta made me sad today. It makes me think of the friends I have in my life. And how traveling for years has meant with Matt. That’s all.

Then again – Traveling single is fun. I definitely would be way into doing a Europe trip on my own. And I’ve been wanting to go meet Christy in Vancouver! And then there’s my friend Aimee in New Orleans, Karrie in NYC, Paula in D.C. and Justyn in Nashville. So I do have some options. But they sound expensive… and not too many of those are “beachy” :) Plus, I need to save money not spend money! And, lucky me – a few of those peeps are coming out to see me soon!

Ok, I feel better. A long weekend in the bay area sounds nice. And really – there’s no day’s off for me lately, since I’ve got so much freelance work to catch up on! oy!
