But I was already in Arizona and I saw the Grand Canyon (my aunt lives in Sedona)! I remember the look of disappointment over the tour guide's face when I didn't seem so excited about it. I then explained him that I've been living for 4 years next to Makhtesh Ramon, and while it's a absolutely, without a doubt, a bigger hole in the ground, I still prefer my own Makhtesh.
Don't get me wrong: it was pretty and impressive. But I wasn't going to fake an orgasm over it.
As for American Buffista Tour (again, if it'll happen): I'll come to wherever time and money will allow. I do wish to see you all, but I don't think I'll be able to do it without spending most of it on planes and buses.
We just booked a very last minute vacation for the weekend, as in we're leaving in an hour. I'm trying not to panic about forgetting things. It's been a long week with the wake and funeral and so much family together time. It will be good to just get away and be alone for a couple of days.
sj, take a breath, make a list of any things you can't afford to buy on the road if you forget them. Then once those things are packed you can relax.
I hope this vacation will go smoothly and will be just what you need it to be, sj.
Hey, Shir! I'm almost done with
Someone to Run With
! I really like it, and I wonder if Tamar is your role model, because she is awesome. Look for a review next week, maybe.
Sj, my travel mantra is keys, wallet, phone and meds. Anything else you can figure a workaround.
I am so angry I don't know what to do. I bumped a candle near my school laptop and got wax on the keyboard. It booted fine for me, but IT sent it out since the keyboard was so messed up and they declared it a total loss. I have just been informed that they have decided I should pay the total cost of $1100ish to replace it since it was my negligence. Keep in mind that teachers are on a three year cycle and I was due for a new one in a year. I may not be department chair at the end of the fight I'm about to start.
That is ridiculous, Pix. No way should you have to pay that.
Oh, P-C, glad to read you liked it! As for your question: I think that only reading it as adolescent I thought of Tamar as a role model. Right now, I think she's much more braver than me.
Pix, that's absurd. I wish I could offer an advice. All I have is that you're right. Fight evil, fight it hard.
I ran out of internet but I don't want to get up yet. Hello 2000 posts in Natter!
