One of my favorite phrases

I have read an article about this before, and I must agree with the author that one of my favorite phrases for another person to tell me is "Sorry, but it has been cancelled." I love hearing this because all of the sudden I have all of this free time that I had not previously anticipated! I was supposed to go to Antwerp from 9-5 today and because of the strike wreaking havoc on the whole city, they had to cancel the trip. When the woman called and said it was cancelled I almost started dancing around I was so happy. You might ask, if I was so happy to not go on the trip, then why didn't I just cancel in the first place? Well, first of all, I hate cancelling on other people (ironic, I know). And even though I had lots of other things to do today, I am trying to enjoy every moment here in Europe, and how often can you just pop up to Antwerp to go antique shopping with your girlfriends? So now, in celebration of having eight unplanned hours, I am going to go snuggle under the warm covers and take a nap!
