we left on Friday the 20th. it took us over an hour to make it down sample road. had to stop and get money from fishie, go to the bank, get dinner…. ah, it’s now 8 or so and we make it onto 95. we pulled into to jr’s as they opened, hung out there for a bit (looking for shoes…. he walked out the door in florida, and got in the car to wait for us, and left his shoes here.) and then we were off for baltimore. we got in around 4, but really around 6.30 because 395 sucks much ass.

on Sunday we went to the b&o railroad museum, which was interesting. i had never been there. dorian loved the train ride (took you out 1.7 miles into baltimore city and then goes back) and the huge trains you could climb in. was neat.

on monday we drove out to gaithersburg and saw my aunt jackie and bowled a bit, and then i took sara and dorian & chai out to see andi. a nice visit ensued, even tho she wasn’t feeling well. thanks for having us over love!

on tuesday we braved the metro (don’t ask, if you know me, you know the answer) and went to the smithsonian. we went to the american history museum, and saw them repeairing the star spangled banner (was VERY interesting. they had it laid out on this HUGE table and had some scaffolding over it on wheels so they could lay down or kneel and work on it without further damaging the flag.) we also saw some misc. stuff, and the 9/11 exhibit. although we didn’t see the silent film, i have been informed that my best friend matt’s brother is in the film. kinda neat if you ask me. then we left. oh, i got a kick ass new bag

on wednesday we got snowed in, i hate snow. i like the cold. hate the snow. so we were stuck in pikesville we were supposed to be in pa, but oh well. oh, and the heat went out. so we built a fire. mmmmmmmmm toasty.

on thursday i can’t remember what we did…… i know we went somewhere. oh, we went to havre de grace to visit one of moms friends. we slept there, and

on friday we drove out to cockeysville in search of food, then decided since we were halfwya there, to go to parkton to visit connie & allen, who mom has known since 10th grade. they kick much ass then we went back to baltimore and got dinner. exciting!

saturday we saw my other aunt & suncle & cousin, and packed up the car to come home. we got here sunday about 1.

so that’s it. i am sure we did more, but i don’t remember. i know, i suck.

love you all, off to lion country safari today. fun fun fun!!!

oh, and i love my husband, because he is the best one i could ever have found

just to let you know.

i hate snow. it’s cold inside & out. slightly warmer inside. but the heat is not tuned up. i guess i can put it this way, i don’t mind the cold. i mind the snow.

anyway, merry christmas all!!

anywa, i love you!!!

anyway, i will be back the 28 or 29. if you need anything, please email me at azxure at pjserendipity dot com and i should be able to access that at least one or twice. or you can call me. please email me by noon today if you need that number.

i will be off again January 3 for jacksonville, i might just not go back on my groups until after the 5. if that is the case, everyone have a happy, healthy, SAFE new year! and if you can’t, name it after me *grins*

i have been doing my hair for 10 years. that’s a decade. and it fucked up. so i don’t know if i will bleach it later again or not. but more than likely i will re-dye it red.

so now not only do i have to fix this, but i have to call and complain about a product i have used numerous time before, but was shoddy, at best, this time.

done. didn’t work. see above post. majorly bleach hair. yes, it’s a beautiful shade of red. i like bond. so blond i shall be! unless it turns brassy. then back to red.

kind of done. i have finding clothes. we have no room, so half the clean ones wind up on the floor, and the rest wind up put away where i can’t reach/find them anyway. find clothes. warm clothes. because md/dc/va/pa is COLD this time of year.

in pricess. i hate washing clothes. wash said clothes.

lots more, but that is all i can think of at the moment. i’ll let you know how my hair comes out.

10.13 edit:

done. in the dryer. also must wash sheets and blanket, malachai decided to use the bed as a toilet. i was letting him air out and he had to go.

done. must make sure all orders are filled, and make a note on the site i am going to be away.

need to remember to print out diredtions to barb’s house!!

need to, at some point talk with andi about tentacle plans. (notivce how any tentative plans involving fish or andi have turned into tentacle plans? i am not even a cthulhu fan. go fig.)

must remind self to take mobile phone charger.

need to go no mail on all groups/lits/etc….. and remind fish to download my mail once a day so my inbox doesn’t get cluttered or full.

need to call hotel in jaxx!!!

more editing later. maybe.

I am leaving December 20 for Maryland (yay!!! get to see friends) and will be back I think on or around December 28. Maybe later. But I will be back in time to turn around and go to Jacksonville Jan 3/4 and possibly 5.

Then I got nothing.

Envious yet? Don’t be. The drive to MD will be with my mom, brother and sister (both 10, 11 in Jan.) and my kids (2 and 4 mo). Joy of joys. Oh, Chai HATES the carseat. He cries in it. Loudly.

Eh, what can you do?

Anyone want to make plans for January 2003?? Anytime after the 7th should be safe. And if you can plan it on a Monday before the 13th you get extra points because Fishie can come too. or on a Sunday night/Monday after 2pm. Then he can come anytime. I hate him being at work and school so much, but it is well worth it.

Oh! The tattooing was approved!!!!!! They can start late January I believe they said.

Yay!!!
