Drops in a Puddle

"30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  If you were told to "Leave town" tomorrow and everything you left behind would be taken care of for the next month, where would you go and why? (You cannot go to live with relatives.)
I'm going to assume for the purposes of this prompt that I have sufficient funds to go wherever I want. Otherwise, you could find me in a cardboard box just on the outskirts of town. That being said, I think I would spend the month backpacking through Europe. I have never been, but I often hear from my friends who have gone that I'd love it! lol

During my trip, I would check out as many places as I could: France, Italy, Greece, Spain...the list goes on. OK, now that I'm in the mood to travel, who's going to fund it and who's going to take care of my stuff?

"Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  Prompt - January 8, 2013: What is your favorite book from childhood?
When I was a child, I would hoard books and read them over and over. I would also beg everyone I came in contact with to read to me. It's impossible for me to choose just one as a favorite, so I'm going to choose the one I most vividly remember.

The book was called The Sesame Street Story Book and it was a collection of stories involving the Sesame Street characters. One particular story that I loved was called "The Princess and the Cookie". Today, 30 years later, I can still remember verses of that story:

But my favorite thing is cookies said the princess with a sigh,
And they must be small and dainty and as delicate as I.

Lame, I know, but I loved that darn book when I was a child.

I hope everyone's week has gotten off to a good start.
