Barcelona - Part last

I don't know what else I can say. It was really fun winding down those last two days I was in Barcelona and relaxing so that when I got back home I wouldn't be too tired to get back to work. Because you know, the worst thing about coming back from vacation is the jet lag. It's not the fact that the calories now have to count, and the purchases require more justification, and that whole job thing and waking up in the morning to an alarm. Well, it is.

So after my travel mate left, I decided that I was so sad that I needed to do something therapeutic to relief my sadness and distress. And I think by now you all know what that means: SHOES SHOES SHOES, and spending more money on things I don't really need. By money I mean a little rectangular piece of plastic that I should not be allowed to take with me while traveling. Towards the end I was praying that it would stop working, but God wasn't about to listen to someone who hasn't been to church in lord knows how long.

I don't think I have anymore to say about Barcelona. The rest of the trip involved some more shopping, good food, sightseeing, and eating fantastic food, pastries and good coffee.

Then there was the obligatory gift-shopping. I hate trying to buy "thoughtful" gifts. The problem is whoever I was buying gifts for, I had bought "thoughtful" gifts for before. But I guess there is such a thing as having too many ties, especially when my dad goes somewhere where he needs to wear a tie, maybe 10 times a year. I about lost my head trying to come up with good ideas for gifts and just wanted to bring everyone a Target gift card.

To cap off the rest of the trip, I just need to refer you to the post before last (the first post of 2008), which involves the best part of the trip: flying Delta Airlines.

As you can see, this was a perfect example of a post I wrote because I promised I would. Not good, not funny, and does not improve the quickly declining level of online writing. I'm sorry that I have to be so lame and waste your time reading this, but I'm just trying to keep my promise.

Next time, I promise, there will be better material. Hmm, maybe I should stop making promises. But we'll see.

UPDATE: I just realized that I never wrote about flying the Delta Airlines experience. I guess that will require its own post!
