i am leaving tomorrow morning.. jared is taking me to the train station where i will go to boston and jump on a bus to go to portland and kj will hopefully pick me up. really, if someone from kj's household is there to pick me up, i will be okay with that. i actually havent talked to her in a little while... yike.

So Megan and I went to Lizzie Bordens house today. It was kind of intense. When we finally figured out where to go and where to park, we were able to catch the tour that had just started, so we didnt have to wait for an hour. Note: What a psycho? Would she be really THAT upset that she would bash her dad and step-moms heads in. Creepy. Yikes Lizzie!! 

AND we went to this great restaurant called Golden Greek, where I had the best hamburger I have ever had. It was a cajun burger and it was so freaking good. Although the waitress was awful. She kept forgetting to bring us the things that we asked for. It was kind of pathetic. 

anyway... thats all for now. 

i am bored. kinda tired. later kids

Sidenote: Kaylie's Birthday was yesterday, and I wasnt able to talk to her! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYLIE!!!

BEKKI! THIS IS FOR YOU!


So, Bekki and i were laughing about the lady that did mom's photography... how she made EVERYONE -GLOW- I was messing with my computer and this is what came out. lol!

Anyway.. thats all. Megan and I were driving Wickett to go get his hair cut, and found this really great lake that also had a river/creek further on one side. It was pretty great. 

all for now.

Daughter of the Forest: Juliet Marillier

"He could not find the words to say good-bye. He faltered. He had wounded her, speaking from the pain of his spirit. He had sworn that he would not hurt her, but he had. He would have told her- he would have said, it matters not if you are here, or there, for I see you before me every moment. I see you in the light on the water, the swaying of the young trees in the spring wind. I see you in the shadows of the great oaks, I hear your voice in the cry of the owl at night. You are the  blood in my veins, and the beating of my heart. You are my first waking thought, and my last sigh before sleeping. You are- you are bone of my bone, and breath of my breath."
Red (Lord Hugh)- Daughter of the Forest. 

and goodnight.

CT:
I am here.
So yesterday... what a day.
I was running around like a maniac to get everything done that I had forgotten or needed to get done. It was ridiculous. In my haste, I ran to the post office to mail some stuff AND mom's package which I had been neglecting for a few weeks. As I exited the Post Office I totally BIFFED it. From the sidewalk to the road-hands and knees, kind of biffing it. Mind you, usually I would just be irritated, in pain and move on... No no. I concerned citizen had to get OUT of his car, because he had apparently seen the whole thing in his rear view mirror, and ask if I was okay. Yes.. I am fine. Pride gone, knee bleeding. I laughed it off until I got to my car, while I winced and cursed my clumsyness. (sp??)
BUT! I lived. I stayed at Jessica's house last night, we played Magic and hung out, and she took me to the airport this morning. Flew out at 720, arrived in Boston at 515 and am now with Jared. Oh happy day, it is done.
MAK(M)- I am going to Connecticut, Maine, California, Idaho and then back to Phoenix. Thats the plan.
I am sure there are more stories I could tell, but I am tired and want to sleep.

Or read the book I finally got in to...

It begins this week. My grand adventure. Oh what to do what to do. 

TO DO: 
*Mail moms meds
*Find remotes and cord for Tolmans
*Laundry
*Figure out how the devil I am going to get to Jare. 
*Deposit checks
*Return stuff to Target
*PACK (merh)

Mind you, I realize that these things are MINOR, where others have finals deadlines and such, but I am a procrastinator, and I am wiggin. 

GOOD LUCK FRIENDS WITH FINALS! (finals, packing, GRADUATION for some, moving to far away lands. or not so much.)

I decided that the site needed a bit of a face lift. It was kinda buggin. There is really nothing new to update. It is freakishly hot here, to the point that I really hate going outside. It kinda bites. I try to go outside at night, and considering it is 98 degrees here.. at nearly one a.m., merrhh. What a crazy place this is. 
I am going down to visit my OTHER sister this weekend, since Bek is headed that direction- I opted to hitch a ride. It'll be nice to get out of here for a few days. 
We watched PS i love you last night, and Hairspray tonight. 
BOTH of which I LOVE!! yes yes, I do. 

Anyway..I am going to go pretend to go to sleep. 
nite kids.
