Somtimes I need to (bum bum) get away

I am currently in the vdot, and it is sunny and wonderful. I really do miss this place sometimes.

So far I've:
  • had a surprise visit (and sleepover) with one of my youth
  • been woken up early by the sound of blaring bagpipes (a recording) and yelling boys (not a recording)
  • gone for a solitary, sun-filled stroll on the Drive
  • run into one of my kids from the summer, her mom, and a new baby sister!
  • shopped at Ten Thousand Villages
  • eaten a pulled-pork sandwich
Still to come:
  • a cursory glance at Missions Fest 2007
  • more sunny strolling
  • curling up with a good book at JJBean
  • an Imax performance of Happy Feet
  • a service at my Vancouver church
  • more hanging out with aforementioned youth
  • general merriment
It's early yet, but I predict that this weekend as a whole will be a tremendous success, and a wonderful break from the ordinary. And also an incredible drain on the wallet. But it's well worth it!

Hmm, so I did. Oops! I apologize! But I'm not changing it. So there.
