Aye, I "gave in" and set up a car rental for my upcoming vaca in 2 weeks :)
after the craziness recently, I figure I earned it *laughs*... ok, it wasn't that crazy, but crazier than it has been
I finally have my new glasses - perfect timing, too, as the old pair I'd been wearing fell apart when I was trying on the new ones !
not much of a difference, but the lack of scratches alone makes things a LOT clearer
next week will be just a BIT intriguing, as I have my yearly review and also have to pick one of the days to go get my EDL licence
...got the expiration reminder card, but since MN is still not up to federal level, the EDL is the MN equivalent *sighs*
which, of course means there's only a few places I can go - which are only open during the workweek/workday, so after the AM meeting one of next week's days I'll have to leave for as long as it takes :(
'course, this also means I have to bring a LOT of things with, as the EDL requirements are a lot more strict and require more proof(s)
ANYways, since I decided on - and set up - just on Friday to rent a vehicle, friends have been coming out of the woodwork in response if I'll be in their area *laughs*
( not sure if this means I'm well-liked by those friends still alive - or they just want to find out what I've been up to in the past 10-20yrs ! )
I intend on staying in MN - heading up towards the Iron Range first, and from there towards Lake Of The Woods area with a slight shift westward...
while avoiding the ND like the plague for this trip ( mostly just relatives and... nothing... miles and miles of bloody nothing - no thanks! )
I haven't travelled "over the 4th" in a long time, so this trip should be interesting in the first place *laughs*
I expect at least a wee bit of traffic :D
so I've put out feelers of what may be going on in northern MN to help focus/guide my directions, beyond the few visitations here-and-there :)
...figure since it's my last vaca of the year, I might as well take advantage of it rather than go summer-stir-crazy by staying in the apartment, neh ?
so... yay ? :D
here's hoping all of you Lovelies and Gentlefolk have interesting plans for the upcoming holiday ( or just for fun for those not in the US ! )
keep Living and Loving Life !

6/12 : as of this late afternoon, I finally have my new glasses :)
6/14 : the "fun" part of the next week+ is, as I discovered, the places to go to get an EDL licence are only open during the workweek/day, so I'll have to leave work for a bit to do it :( ...if anything, I may just rent a car for my upcoming vaca because I'll have considered it earned!
6/15 : in 2 weeks I'll be starting my last venture of the year... anything going on in north country ( MN, mind you ) over the weekend before and week up to the 4th [ 1st through 5th, roughly ] ?
6/16 : in case you were wondering, there IS a female-oriented version of Steak & BJ Day ( March 14th )... Cake & Cunnilingus Day! ( April 14th )
