You know... I am a bit embarrassed to say this but... well... I really like this Christina Aguilera album. I am listening to it right now and it is quite good. Hmmm... Can't imagine I would have said that 15 years ago (15 years?) when I was listening to ... umm... non Christina Aguilera stuff. Oh well I guess getting older gives you the ability to admit stuff that you wouldn't when you were in high school. Although I have always been outspoken about my love for Bette Midler!!! I am still keeping my eye out for her to play in Europe and then whoever happens to be here will be stuck going to her concert with me!!!

Today is my last day in Switzerland. I leave this afternoon and I am glad. It would be better if I had an apartment and my own stuff but living in a hotel for any length of time just sucks. It's quite boring and lonely. Tomorrow I get to (get to?) go into London bright and early to apply for my Brazilian visa. I can't believe that I will be going to Brazil in just over 2 weeks!!! WOW!!! Hopefully I will get my passport back quickly, I may need to come back to Switzerland next week but that wouldn't even be a possibility if I don't have my passport! So I have to take time off work to go apply for the visa then I have to take more time off work to go all the way back to pick it up!!! Oh well it will be worth it when I am basking in the sun.... OH! I get to wear shorts and sandals!!! What does it feel like to be warm? Actually I know I will regret this as I won't be warm... I will be HOT!!! I heard on the news this morning that there were heavy rains in Brazil and flooding.. I haven't checked where but I am just going to assume that it is no where near where we will be.....

Yesterday the woman at the front desk called me Madame Bennett. I smiled and thought to myself that in a year I will be Madame Keeney!!!! I'm such a girl huh?
