well i've just finished packing most of my stuff. all that remains is some of my clothing that's still drying and my toiletry items that i'll pack tomorrow. that van we have sure does have a lot of room. sure the windstar had all that plushy goodness but not as much room as the 1992 plymouth voyager. it is pretty classy. or was. i should say it was pretty classy back in 1992! lol. and it actually smells okay and not like dogs or anything. see we're borrowing from a close friend of ours (for FREE...yippeee!) and while we're away, he's taking the windstar and checking it out and trying to fix it (NOT for free.....awwww but hey i think it's a fair trade).
well my dear friend teresa is going off to africa for the next 6 months and i am really gonna miss her! gosh she was always so cheerful and always seemed to brighten my day no matter how incredibly crappy and stupid it was. take care teresa! and travel safely! she leaves on the 13th i think and is flying 7 hours to amsterdam, then a 2 hour wait and then another 8 hours down to cameroon. gosh what jet lag. i'm not sure if i could even handle all of that lol. i haven't even flown in a plane in 15 years so i forget what it is like. someday though, i will fly again.
well today wasn't too eventful. i went to the library around 1:45 to pick up a book to read while i'm on vacation and i chose "the dangerous summer" by ernest hemingway who is one of my favorite authors. it looked pretty good so i'd figure i'd take that out when i get bored. so yeah. and then after that, around like 3:30, i decided to finish the rest of the mowing and then went to the pool. and while i was at the pool, we got into a quite a ferocious game of handball and now the heel of my hand and my wrist is sort of swelled up and turning purple. lol gosh. see handball is just like baseball except you use your hand to hit this rubber ball. i guess i hit that ball one to many times on the wrist. ouch. and then i swam some laps and returned home around 6:00 to finish the rest of the mowing and packing.
and now i have to go to bed at 10:30 tonight and i just got done cleaning the turtle tank one last time. and that sure was a blast well not really. and i just talked on the phone with laura for the last time so that was a pleasant conversation we had. i'll miss everyone while i'm away! and yes i'll be kind to the manatees and all the wildlife, marcia, don't worry! lol. and maybe my parents.
