Blue Roses

This is it! t-10.5 hours until we hit the road. First stop, Nashville, TN. Then off to Panama City FL (3 days), Orlando (5 days), Hilton Head (2 days), Atlanta (2 days) and Memphis (2 days)! We shall be back late on January 29. I probably won't be able to update while we're gone, but I fully intend to do a detailed summary after.

Almost everything is packed now. Just a few morning extras to go - teddy bear and mask, toiletries, cell and charger. And Sims 2, since I may sneak in a few minutes of game play tonight. <.g> (I have it installed on my parents laptop, but I don't bother transferring so it's all new/different.)

I, myself, have three bags. Eeep! One suitcase of all my clothes, one backpack of shoes and misc things and my "carry on" backpack with things to do in the car and hotel. 5 books, 3 notebooks, 3 DVDs, Sims 2 and my iPod. Should be more than enough, which is what I like.

I went to my first Brownies meeting tonight. TOTAL CHAOS! Oy. And my girl's meds aren't quite working out for her. Then!

I took her and her friend A. We park and as we walk up, A says, "Oooh, ice!" and glides across as I warn her to be careful. She is grace itself and does fine. After, we're walking back to the car. All of a sudden, BOOM! I find myself on the cold hard asphalt. I'm just registering an OW when I feel a whoosh beside me. Yes, C has fallen just about right next to me. I'm immediately asking if she's okay and telling A to stop as she says, "Ooooh, ice!" and tries to skate across it again and letting her other friend's mom help us up all at the same painful time. Bottom line, C's fine, I'm sore and we are Klutzes. Her mom was so amused.

Yesterday, it hit 65, a record high. Today is snowed. I had to clean my car off after two hours at work. I got home at 3:30 and by 6:10 when I left to get the girls, ALL of my doors had frozen shut!! The windchill now is 8. Tomorrow morning when we leave, they're predicting the actual temp will be about 0. ::whimper::

Checking the weather - tomorrow and Saturday (it's just an overnight stop) it will be about 40. 60s while we're in Panama City. Can't tell the others yet, but it seems to be 70s in Orlando.

Nifty.

See you all on the flip side!!!
