Itching to travel

Happy Friday!

Ever since we moved into our new house, we no longer have "expanded basic cable," which includes channels like TLC, HGTV, etc. We now have "basic cable" because we had to get the cable internet connection anyway for Dan, and it was as cheap to have the basic cable as it was to go without. The trouble is, basic cable includes the major networks, TBS, religious channels, local channels, and every home shopping channel known to mankind. It also includes the Travel Channel. That is my downfall. The elimination of cable (mostly) from my life is a positive thing, but now I find myself soaking up the travel shows, and I'm getting the itching again to just go. Dan and I have this loose plan to go to Spain for our 10th wedding anniversary, so I think that's going to be my earliest opportunity. I hold onto hope that I will have the opportunity to travel someday because of a promise in my patriarchal blessing. I hope it meant I would actually travel and not just get a lifetime subscription to National Geographic.

Let me take just a few sentences to thank everyone who actually reads this blog. It's not the funniest, most well-written, or most revelatory blog in the world but it does provide a way for me to make some record of my life and work out the thoughts that sometimes fill my mind (I don't have a Pensieve to put them in.) Even if no one reads this I can "count" it as my journal writing, I hope.

"I'd save the receptionist. I just wanted to clear that up." (I was once a receptionist so I must agree.)
