auto boulot dodo - left coast

so - back from chicago. my relatives are fun if a bit too eager to extol the merits of calvin college. it's cold but actually warm for the midwest. i felt awful this morning - sore throat, achy, i want to curl up and be unconcious awful - and all i wanted to do was to be back in California. On my work calendar I wrote on this day that i was still in MI and getting very sick of the cold - how true.

i'm officially old. i'm the only cousin that's moved out of the house even though one cousin is my age, graduated from college, and has a job. i got a girlie present (my aunts, mom and grandmother all give each other small crafty presents in addition to the regular gift exchange) got to see my relatives from washington DC for the first time in years. i can't imagine still living at home. yay freedom! psychological as well as physical

i did get some ideas about making a bed frame out of PVC.

still reading a people's history of the united states.

oh i am so looking forward to new years eve. yay california.
