I'm finally home!
And I'm sick. I guess as soon as the wedding ended and I began to relax, the cortisol left my bloodstream, stopped suppressing my immune system, and let my body actually start fighting all the fun bugs I've been carrying around since the last time I was sick (um... six months ago?). So I've had a cold for the last few days, but hopefully it won't hang around too much longer.
Also, it is ridiculously hot here. No hotter than it was in Reno or Salt Lake, but the humidity here makes me think I might melt every time I go outside, and living without air conditioning is becoming unbearable. I actually sat in my car for ten minutes today just to cool down.
Anyway... I have a ton of stuff to write about. I wrote quite a bit in my paper journal, both while driving across the country and while at Kayla's wedding in Utah, so I'll probably post snippets from there here. In short, vacation was wonderful. The wedding was amazing. It was soooooo good to see family. And I'm ridiculously grateful that vacation is over and I'm home now--I'm absolutely exhausted. Having fun is hard work!
I'm moving this week, so I guess being "home" is sort of a relative term. Alas.
Also, here at last is a picture of my final package from my secret pal, Emily.
Stitch 'N Bitch Nation, the sequel to Stitch 'N Bitch, which she got me in one of the other packages, and which I read in less than a week...
Swell, a book about how to be an awesome woman, which I also read within a few days...
Two balls of Debbie Bliss cashmerino chunky, which is absolutely heavenly...
Very pretty soap...
A funny magnet that is now on my refridgerator...
And not pictured, a lipstick holder with some really cool silvery swirly stitch markers. Sorry I didn't take a picture of those... and I'm too lazy to bother about it now.
Anyway, I really enjoyed the secret pal exchange. Emily really spoiled me. As soon as it gets cold again, I'm gonna have a lot of fun knitting up that wool she sent me in the last package. Now I just need to pick a project for the cotton and the cashmerino...
Large post with excerpts from paper journal to follow.
In the meantime, look at pictures of my summer.
