In a Tizzy on Tuesday

Last night, I had dinner with four amazing individuals. While we reminisced through our time at SMU, I was reminded of just how special these people are to me. Whether it be Matt's personality, Blake's kindness, Kaleb's humor or Mall's happy outlook on life, these are my people. It saddened me that our India trip will be lightened by the absence of two of them. While we talked and laughed together, India was the underlying theme that everyone wanted to speak about and which no one wanted to accept. They will be missed.

On a brighter note, I have a few last minute items to attend to this afternoon. The first of which seems like an extremely bad idea for any apartment dweller. Travel Doctors of Dallas recommended I spray each and every item of clothing, even panties and bras, with Permethrin, a premium insect repellent that is effective through 6 washings. Lucky for me, I'm only bringing 7 outfits that will need to be washed exactly 5 times! Anyone who knows me is probably having a WTF moment right now. I plan to take all of my clothes out onto my balcony and spray away. Azure residents (the high rise across the street) will be bewildered.

Other items of business for the day:
Radio Shack to purchase a Foreign Travel Voltage Converter
Call DFW TravelEx to get my hands on some Indian Rupees

Also, I finally figured out the whole Skype phenomenon. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am knowing that I will be able to see the people/pup I love each and every day!
