had a grand time in watertown with dad, trying to get stuff done. i am serioualy sleep deprived at this point, but i'll be damned if i'm going to miss a moment of this vacay!
i got to see gramma while i was upstate, which was the whole point of going home after all. we were going to do some kids and mom photos, with mom, but jenna didn't get to watertown until later in the afternoon, and i was slow on the uptake, and mom canceled.
ah well
gramma is very puffy. but she seems to be having an easier time talking, and isn't wasting away at all. i didn't ahve it in me to say any of the big heartfelt things i'm thinking, mostly because daddy was there. i am very aware i am pretending that if i just don't talk about it, it will go away. but i don't know what else to do.
anyway, daddy and i made it to aunt melody's place without any trouble, and after a quick pork chop dinner, i was on the road for the 2+ hour trip into nyc to see natabwie (it should ahve been an hour. so annoying. why is there traffic at 11pm on a sunday?)
anyway, nats was staying with john hersh, and they'd invited david and his new girly candice out. we met up at blue water grille, which is chi-chi beyond my wildest dreams. they were all getting sushi and dumpling appetizers, filet mingon main courses, and giant caramel adn ice cream desserts. i just scavaged off of other people's plates, and drank some vodka. i think john or david covered the check. i am not sure who i owe all my gratitude to. afterwards we went up to john's parents place on 49th and 1st, which was just lovely. a white russian, some music, lovely views and good conversation filled out the night for me. it ws a great addition to this years int'l aubbi month, and i'm glad i could spend it with natabwie :)
got home at about 5am, and had to be up at 8am. i was NOT a happy camper, but i made it.
we were showered, fed, dressed and rady to go by the time aunt melody's friend showed up at 10, and miraculously there was no traffic, so we were at newark before noon.
no airport drama to speak of. mostly me freaking out about the cutting of my iphone umbilical cord while over here. to dull the pain, daddy and i got drinks and lunch at the tgifriday, which i totally regretted upon landing in dulles and finding out they have a five guys there!
anyway, i bought to big ole bottles of vodka at the duty free for $33, and now the challenge is to drink it all before our next flight ;) then we got more cocktails. then we flew to london.
our hostel, ashlee hostel, is nice. it's in kings cross, which is cute. we are waiting for jenna and ben to get here, and i am trying to figure out how to get me and daddy home. i completely forgot to ask one of the people about it at the airport! so dumb! so now i have to figure that out, and their website says the only thing i can do is call them. yuck.
and jenna just walked in! so i am off to try to catch the changing of the gaurds :)
