Everything I see is....Italia!

Everytime I turn on the travel channel to my favorite show, Passport to Europe with Samantha Brown, she is always in Italy. Last night she was in Milan, Florence, Rome, and this morning she was in Venice. Everyday I wake up I feel more and more drawn to Italy. I am very content with my decision, once again. I know that something is over the Atlantic, past Barcelona, streaming by Monaco, skiing down the Swiss Alps, and landing in the citta di Rinascimento that I left behind a part of my heart.

Yesterday I broke down at work, because no one helps me thru the busy time in the office. I am a receptionist in a very busy community college in my town of Crystal Lake. I just tried to keep everything in perspective while I was crying in my boss's office. I am completely honest with her and said, "I don't know how you will find someone to work these hours without help." The other receptionist always gets to leave early and im left at the front desk dealing with idiots students, that can't make decisions for themselves so they come and complain about their classes with advisors that are only supposed to help them with their academic plan, not register these somewhat adults for their OWN classes. This day and age teenagers are so damn lazy.

So pretty much I know that there will never be a time I will be in the position of a receptionist EVER! Oh if my Amici over the Ocean didn't know there is huge Snow Storm hitting the Midwest, mostly the Chicagoland area which brings me to say: A Snow Day,today, is very well deserved for me!! We have gotten already 15 in of snow and it is only 11am!!!!!!!!!! :-)

32 DAYS TIL OPERATION ITALIA!!!!!!!!!

Less than a month! I need to write you a real email, but hectic holiday time has begun here. In the meantime, have I told you that I'm a fellow blogger now? You knew me as "Michelle," but now I'm "sognatrice."

oh...I can feel your excitement! (we have about 10mths...) Everytime I catch a travel show on about Italy I get so giddy almost.
