My once photographic memory for recollection's sake is failing me.

hey y'all! oh yea, no "you all"s... i've been y'all-ing since yesterday. what can i say, it's the southern girl in me. well, i'm bringing this entry from thomaston, georgia. at my granma's apartment now, where we're spending the night. then off on the road tomorrow for a 9 hour drive. big whoop of joy there.

the drive up to alabama was 12 hours, which we did on tuesday. got to see everyone who i normally only see at like christmas, so that was a positive. i really love being with my family, due to the fact that it's a rare occasion i suppose. there were about 15 of us hanging out at the house, so it was nice. yesterday was the funeral of my great-uncle and then we all proceeded up to the cemetary. everyone came back to the house.was talking to my aunt and the granmas are gonna take the grankids down to cocoa beach for a week next summer at a timeshare she got for us, so that's something to look forward to since it'll be a blast. and i'll be able to drive up there to meet them :0)plus, em and the mcjenkin clan are coming down to islamorada, so i'll get to see them a whole bunch. later, my cousin holly had some of her friends stop by, so i got to meet them. then i met some more cause we went to her orientation and taco bell for dinner. came back home and went to sleep. hung out a bit today. some family left. then started the driving with 3 hours to get here. went to mama dean's, my great-granmas, to have dinner with her, my other great-aunt, and my cousin. and boy, was it a southern-style dinner. total stereotypical supper: cornbread, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, friend green tomatoes, okra, butter beans, and cream corn. (and a discussion about niggers and white folks to go along with it to, no joke.) hung out for a bit (yea, on the front porch) and now i'm here, trying to avoid sleep. but, i guess i'll be sensible cause i gotta play dj tmrw for the trip home.

good night wishes from georgia, N
