Konnichiwa FAIL
Have you ever been really mad at yourself? (I raise hand).
[Setting: Friday morning. I am walking to school. After 3 days of discussing a spontaneous trip to Japan (I know, crazy), Kyle finally found the perfect flights.]
As Kyle was about to hit the "confirm" button on the two plane tickets for my last spring break, he asks, "This may be a stupid question, but before I confirm, is your passport up-to-date?"
Me: "Ummmmm." (I suddenly remember that I have not seen my passport since my post-graduation trip. over.three.years.ago.)
I realize this makes me look like a huge airhead. I don't know what I was thinking (or better yet, not thinking). I came home and immediately searched my room file folder by file folder, paper, by paper. I stayed up till 4am last night checking every nook and cranny in my room. I came up empty handed.
I contemplated paying for one of those rush passport services. Then, the plane ticket prices went up. I AM SO MAD AT MYSELF. How did I misplace my passport? Maybe this is a sign that I need to support the American economy during spring break.

Ughhhhhh, I'm sorry. I've SO been there. We almost didn't get to go on our honeymoon because I waited too long to get my passport. Fingers crossed the flights go back down for you!
