My Aunt Ju's birthday is coming up soon-- the Big 50! Me, Mom, Em, and Aunt Ju are headed up to visit Betsy for the weekend and I'm really looking forward to it! We've been planning this for a while and this will be the firs time we've been able to go visit Betsy since she moved up there over the summer! Plus, we are staying at a place with an indoor pool and my inner kid is getting super excited. Unfortunately, Parker is not joining us this weekend and I met Dad today at the Bayless in Bay Springs (best coconut pie in America, according to the menu. I don't know for sure because I don't like coconut [white food] so I didn't try it) and it was super sad leaving her with him. We stared at each other through the window as she was driving away, me with tears in my eyes, fear in hers. Even now, hours later, I feel as though my left arm is missing. Or at least a small, white, sometimes stinky ball of fur that usually lays near my head when we are sleeping.
To distract myself from the pain of separation and to prepare for the drive tonight with Deb, I cleaned my car out! For those of you who've been so lucky as to get to ride with me, you know that doesn't happen very often. I live out of my car, sometimes quite literally, and there are all sorts of random things that find their way into my car and never leave. For example, I found:
Some Disney memorabilia that I brought home as gifts for friends and their kids but never delivered, a nutcracker, 7 (!) jackets, one dirty red blanket that I think came from the Grove at some game, 47 cents, mardi gras beads, 6 books on CD, 6 books, a small container of qtips and a small cylinder of toothpicks, one shoe, various pens and even more ponytail holders, an earring, and 3 parts of 3 different sunglasses.
My car is now super clean and I'm obsessed with this fancy new car wash that Laurel's gotten-- I got a cheap car wash and my car looks super fabulous plus you get free vacuuming which is good for slowpokes and/or people with dirty cars, both of which pertain to me.
Its a bit scary going into a car wash, especially this one-- its super dark in there.
However, I was excited by the different color soaps-- yellow, pink, white and blue!! So pretty!
And look how bright and shiny my car is now!!!
Look at that floorboard-- you could eat off that thang! Actually, you could have eaten off it prior to the vacuuming because there was actually food, but that's just nasty!
