Today, Mom, Mel and I got manicures and pedicures, which would've been a completely fantastic experience if only my little asian manicure man hadn't been a total jerk when I asked him to fix one of my toes, which had gotten screwed up. But other than that, it was awesome. And we got to go shopping for food and entertainment for tomorrow.
As much as I know (mostly) that I'm going to have fun, I am so, so sad to be leaving. I like home.
The plan is to drive as far as possible tomorrow, then stop in Richmond the next day to stay at Nica's house (because, we must.) And then we keep going until we hit NY.
(Happily, though, my mom got us a DVD player, and I have my laptop, and we have like, a hundred DVDs. One disc of Gilmore Girls, about eleven of Alias, and a bunch of assorted films, and Mom and I got "Learn Spanish!" CDs for the cars, aaaaaand I got an Eva Peron biography. Yaaaay. I told you I'd get one, Tess.)
And then, in NY, we're staying at my grandmother's house. She's living in a nursing home now, but my mom and her sisters haven't sold the house yet, so we can stay there. But there's no cable and there's no phone. Which means I'm going to have hardly any internet time until I get home.
This means that I need to finish the ficathon fic ASAP, and either make it to a Starbucks or something, or send it to Nica or Tess of Hannah to post in my stead. Or something.
So, comments and posts will be few, except for maybe a few desperate voice posts now and then.
family,
