yes my kitties, i know i have denied you a post for quite a while, so i'm going to take a minute and give you a quick update.
im here in brussels visiting friends for a few days. my computer apparently wasn't in the mood to speak french or dutch, so im using their mac for a few minutes to put this up.
to bring you up to speed, i spent the majority of february working my butt off to hit our mitsubishi goal, visiting my mom in NJ, drinking and uh, well, one other thing i shouldn't have done. and no, im not telling you what that thing is. so there.
so on march 1st my bankruptcy came off my credit report. 10 years is a long long long time to wait. but, it feels really good to know its over with. that represented a really rough time for me, and im glad its done.
i left for belgium (also on 3/1), eric dropped me off at dulles 2 1/2 hours before my flight. you would think that would have been enough time, but apparently you now need to leave like 9 hours before an international flight. i literally waited in line at the ticket counter for an hour and a half, then baggage, then security. i barely made my flight. i figured i'd have enough time to get a starbucks, smoke a cigarette, have a nosh, and get on the plane. but no, i made it to the gate at like 530, and the plane took off at 542. gross.
***note to united airlines: it might be a good idea to have more than 4 ticket agents working when there are about 700 people waiting at the international counter.
anyway, my flight was fine, the plane was practically empty. made it through customs in like 2 seconds, grabbed my bag and jumped in a taxi. 15 minutes later i was at my friends house. its a very nice 4 level townhouse in downtown brussels. great location, close to shops, trams, metro, etc. we've just been chilling, eating good food, walking around the city...basic stuff. like what i do at home. only in french. thank god they speak french. ha.
a special shout out to alyssa and doug for being such great hosts. merci :)
ok kitties, i'll be back in a couple of days. if i get around to taking some pictures while im here, i'll post them for you.

Did the thing you won't tell us about involve tax evasion? Or getting crunk in DC with Snoop Dizzle?
