but it gets me home midafternoom so it is worth it
Oh, that is nice. I'm glad it's been such a great trip. I really hope it brings more work. That would be so wonderful for you. You've worked so hard to get to this point.
But I'm not bitter.
Oh, that SUCKS. I'm so sorry. But, yay for fireworks and parade!
What are you up to today, vw?
I'm hosting a BBQ (I know, I know...I live in Boston now. I should call it a cookout, but, well, that just hasn't changed in my midwestern brain) and surprise baby shower for my brother and SIL. It should be MUCH fun. We're pretty sure that they have NO idea. They're going to walk into my apartment and see this PILE of presents that take up half my living room! I'm so excited and have been working furiously to get ready for it (and finish crochet projects to wrap!).
We may try to brave the Boston fireworks tonight if it doesn't rain. We weren't going to go to fireworks, but my brother is insisting on it (which probably means it's really important to his wife, because he doesn't usually push things this much). Then tomorrow we're taking my SIL to the quilt shop to pick out fabrics for the crib quilt/bumpers/etc., then we jump on a train to Portland, Maine for our summer vacation. I can't wait. I'm gonna sit around and pretend to do nothing for five whole days!
