will i? won't i?

so last night, i was invited by my friend marlowe to come with her and a couple of other friends to visit our friend, lizanne, who has been in kuala lumpur, malaysia, for more than a year now. she's working there with her husband, tony. haven't seen them since their wedding--just shortly before they had to fly off to that country. and of course, my first reaction was: YEAH!!! but then, i have to be prudent about this. (hate being an adult!) i mean, i have money that the company was supposed to reimburse ages ago, but hasn't given me yet. i'm praying the checks are released before july, so that i have money for the trip. in addition, i have to pray my boss will not lose her head when i ask permission to once again take a leave from work. because, although i don't get paid when i'm not at work, she's not really inclined to let us skip work for long periods of time. and to a travel bug like me who only feels right when i'm travelling, that's not good. besides, my last overseas trip (to vietnam) was 3 yrs. ago!
