long time no type
06 August 2004

after an extreme hiatus chock full of long road trips (totalling 3,000+ miles!), romantic getaways, and torrential downpours, i'm back baby!

2 words: dead tired

after a good night's rest and limited movement i am still exhausted. what could have happened in 12 days to deplete the dao energy reserve? let's see...

road rules '04. a thousand miles with 25 kids and adult volunteers. i loved it. they loved it. we all loved it. one of those things that, as awesome as it is, you are glad to do only once a year or you'd lose it. i was very proud of all my kids this summer, and this trip was the colossal cherry to top it all.

packing. i packed before the road trip. i packed after the road trip. i am still packing back in 'bama. life is packing. packing is life. i wish i was a suitcase. then for once i'd never have to do the packing.

vacation. another thousand miles to get to va, where i picked up jen maddox, my special someone, from the airport for an incredible 5 days of crawling all over northern va and dc to see as much as possible. it is a friday, and i believe i offered to showcase the events of the vacation today, so here goes:
saturday- a walk in old town alexandria and dinner with s'mores at xando's
sunday- morning at bcc, lunch at glory days, relaxation, and time with some old friends at lifegroup, followed up with chicken out and ice cream at maggie moo's
monday- breakfast at einstein's and a day at the freer gallery of art and the smithsonian museum of natural history, then a rainy walk from the jefferson memorial to the fdr memorial, from there to the world war 2 memorial, the lincoln memorial, and finally a cab ride to adam's morgan where we enjoyed some scrumptious mexican food at a hole-in-the-wall ristorante
tuesday- king's dominion, where we screamed on roller coasters all morning (to answer my previous clue, we rode the volcano first), then took in some don pablo's and caught shyamalan's the village
wednesday- lunch at joe theissman's and then a relaxing afternoon at the international spy museum. fun fun fun! dinner with dug at paisano's and then a 13-hour drive to montgomery. done.

family. tomorrow i go to a reunion in panama city. i'm helping with the singing this year. i'd love it except there is something in the air right now that has my allergies going wild. it's crazy. also, i have to spend time with dad before he heads to kuwait for 90, nope 120, oops! 130 days. God knows what He's doing, God knows what He's doing, God knows what He's doing...

more packing. then unpacking. i move into my apartment with the long-missed roomies right after i return from florida. can't wait!

school. at faulkner. it starts, and then it feels like it will never end.

what do i do in the moments in between? well, seeing how i never take time to realize i actually need some extra sleep every now and then, i eat instead. ha. remember: i heart food!

be looking for the blog to change soon. a new chapter in life calls for a new design. peace!
