SashaLenae: T-5 days!

My most favorite quote

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.

T-5 days!

So I am celebrating my last Sunday at home, relaxing, reading (Twilight I love you) and watching TV.

I hit up Target and got a TON of little things that I needed, mostly the essentials..shampoo,conditioner, sunscreen, bug spray, etc etc. It was a good find!

Only five more days till I actually leave, I really cannot believe it. Friday I had a conference call with all the other women who will be going the same day. It was nice to hear everyone's voices and chit chat about Ghana, although I have to admit it was hard to hear. One cool thing is that one woman is from LA, and she is actually on my flight over, so I will have a travel buddy! That was really comforting, knowing I will at least have somebody else with me when I end up in Amsterdam.

Hopefully my blogs get way more interesting when I actually get there, as for now, I will just leave you with this photo. I feel as excited as this guy:
