Why does time fly by so fast when you&#8217;re having fun?  It&#8217;s never the same thing when that teacher is talking about all the different ways to dissect the brain.  I have barely traveled in the last <del>few<\/del> several years.  I hope to make 2009 a traveling year.  AMEN!!!<\/p>\n<p>But when I get married &#8211; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">here she comes with her future marriage plans again!<\/span> &#8211; my husband and I must travel to all places travelable.  Of course, I can travel now, but I think the traveling will be a lot more fun if you have the opportunity of  being naughty with someone @ odd times of the day and\/or night.  You know what I mean now!  Don&#8217;t make me say it; I&#8217;m shy.  *blushing*<\/p>\n<p>So when I get married, my husband and I might just wake up one morning and decide to go have breakfast in Germany, lunch in Peru, and dinner in India.  The next day, we&#8217;ll go bake ourselves under the Australian sun.  We might even hunt a few crocodiles &#8211; just like Steve, the Crocodile Hunter used to do before his unfortunate demise. Then we&#8217;ll go to Senegal &#8211; just to visit those huge flies I saw there several years ago.  I wonder if their flies are still so huge.   Another day, we&#8217;ll go to Puerto Rico to look for J&#8217;Lo&#8217;s people.  When we find them, we&#8217;ll wave to them and keep it moving.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll vacation to Leningrad, Russia &#8211; the land of my birth.  We&#8217;ll see if we can actually see Alaska.  If we can, we might just ski dive into Alaska.  That should be fun.  We&#8217;ll go to Italy to have real pizza.  And I&#8217;ll buy an expensive pair of shoes.  We&#8217;ll go to Israel to visit the garden of Eden.  There, I will get down on my knee and feed my husband an apple.  He will eat it and we will know the difference between good and evil.  <strong><em>[I wonder if we&#8217;ll get banned from returning to Israel if we get caught procreating under one of the trees.  I guess we&#8217;ll just have to find out]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll go to Nigeria to eat from one of those Mama Put joints.  And we&#8217;ll give her a big fat tip.  We&#8217;re gonna wash our own dishes and stand in line to wait for our food just like everyone else.  That&#8217;s all part of the fun.  We&#8217;ll go to Paris &#8211; the City of love &amp; romance and we&#8217;ll fall in love all over again&#8230;.and of course, we&#8217;ll &#8216;romance&#8217; each other.  He&#8217;ll whisper sweet nothings in my ear  in the  language I wish I could speak &#8211; French. <\/p>\n<p>Okay, enough of the imaginations.  This has become a self-induced hypnosis.  I&#8217;m finding it hard to snap out of it.  Goodness, that French part was really good.  So what was I saying anyway?  Oh yeah, vacations end too quickly.  I know this sounds like a random post.  It sounds like I have no reason to be talking about vacations, but you know there is no smoke without fire. *wink*<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Category B of the Naija Blogger Awards is up and running.

Now, I feel compelled to tell you all.  I just don&#8217;t know how you&#8217;re gonna take the news.
