sooooooooooo jealous! I miss Italy...I lived in Vicenza many years ago, and would "visit" when I lived in Germany.... the pizza, the markets, the ice cream....these "authentic" places here don't have the slightest idea what real pizza is .......

Beautiful pics Lu! I am so glad you found a new place so quickly!

I'm going to get so fat LOL there is a place not that far from my new place that serves my fav. combo
gelato, strawberries and balsamic vinegar. The balsamic aged like a fine wine. YUMMY! it's like orgasimically good LOL

I've driven tru vicenza it's gorgeous it's not that far from venezia. I agree about the pizza although in MN there is a pizza chain called Punch. It's kinda close to authentic.

April, wow! I gotta say Italy is a major upgrade from MN (I get cold just thinking about it) eventhough you'll probably miss family and friends.

Lulu, you seem to lead such an interesting life! Italy sounds fabulous and your rooms are beautiful. I'm so excited for you!

This. I am feeling very pedestrian today as I work in my small office in a nondescript city (where I went to HS) and prepare to return to my condo where I've lived for 10 years.

Question: What is the name of the CS rep that everyone loves. Starts with an N?

I'd trade you anyday. My lifestyle is a little too fast paced. I frequently have no idea where I am and where I'm off to next. It drives a virgo like me crazy.

When I get home (mn) weds. night my DH will be home from his trip and we are taking a vacation at home.2 weeks of just me, him and the pups, cat & turtle. It'll be the first time we've been in the same house for more than 24 hrs in like 6 months. We get to just chill. It's going to be so relaxing.

Oh I forgot to mention. We got a turtle. My goddaughter pick him and I keep him at the office for now and she named him Franklin. yup after the cartoon. I bought her DVDs for her b-day.

Hottie Life Exchange. I'll trade you 3 weeks of my life in exchange for 3 of yours.

fafnir · Nov 3rd, 2009, 02:47 PM

Aw, lulu, we have 2 tortoises living in our house. They are supposedly my son's, but I find myself talking to them all the time. They are very cool guys.

sirene · Nov 3rd, 2009, 03:18 PM

Arrgh. This morning was filled with frustration--I went to pull out my MB circe coin purse and one of the kisslock parts has snapped right off. I have no idea where the other piece is, but I doubt it's fixable. Then I go to get change from my ICP Pilot and the zipper eats the lining--the teller at the bank tried to help, but he's only gotten more stuck. Arrrgh! If anyone know a trick on how to salvage my zipper, please let me know. If I fiddle with it more (and I have), I'm afraid I'm only going to make it worse.

carlottalyn · Nov 3rd, 2009, 03:23 PM

Oh no!!

Sorry I don't have any advice on how to fix it...I always just have to fiddle with stuck zippers until they're either fixed or ripped lol. Hopefully someone else will have a better idea.

Are you going to see if HH will fix the coin purse? That sucks.

skydive nikki · Nov 3rd, 2009, 03:33 PM

Lu, you are living the life! I wish my life was as exciting as yours! Italy sounds incredible.
