I don't think your company cares about $50, sara.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Barcelona is AWESOME. I love that city.
I really need to do some research on Madrid. I don't really know much about it.
Hell, a cab would be cheaper than parking, come to think of it.

Speaking of sale shopping, I got sucked into the Lord & Taylor one-day cashmere sale the other day and then also free shipping over $100, so I ordered a cashmere sweater AND rain boots and still had to add a Jonathan Adler mug to make the free shipping. I hope any of it is good.

Jesse, I figure. But in case they balk at basically giving me 4-5 days to play tourist (ooh, tuesday is same as monday!) I'm lining up arguments.
I don't have a lot of vacation to spare this year, and lots of things coming up that need vacation. But if I run up my hours in the next 3 months, I can spare some days of short or no hours.

Plus I'll be working 60+ hours while there anyway.
Oh, found a transcription of D's singing, in real time at the time, from my brother: "3,6,9,12,15,18..I looked out a window...and to my surprise.....I saw some stars...they slowly started falling.....I tried to make wishes....I wished for a million dollars...wished some never came true...because I would be purple and yellow....and 30 feet tall..."

Because books.
You should definitely take as many days as you can, sara. It's Spain!

I've done this so many times. I wound up with a shirt I don't LOVE love just because it was insanely cheap and the only way to get the free shipping.
I'm consulting Dr. Google about my dad's dizzy spells. So far I've got low blood pressure or vertigo, because it's positional (i.e. if he stands too suddenly, or leans down), but he's also fallen two twice in the past month, which is troubling.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh, Barcelona. LOVE.

The good news is, I can return them to the store super-easily.

Yup. I'm glad I get to explore a new place, and I'm positive I'll find it fascinating, but a part of me is all "but it cannot match Barcelona!"

Actually there's a JJill store near where S. works, and he could do it for me. Hmm.
