Good to be Home.

Hello, and sorry for the little dry spell. Moved out of my room in NY a little while ago and am here in good old MA for a few short weeks before I need to head back; folks, let's just ponder the absurdity of necessitating my complete move-out from the Strat when in a few short weeks I'll be moving BACK IN to the EXACT SAME ROOM! I suppose they might do some maintenance, painting, cleaning and exterminating, but yikes! P.S. for any who may have wondered: I woke up at about 6 am that morning and had exactly six hours before the fam would arrive to load my life into the van, and had I started anything in advance? No siree- to know me is to love me (harharhar) and if you know me you might have guessed I would leave it till the last minute. Let me tell you I have never cleaned\packed\organized so furiously and so completely ever in my life! I was done at ten minutes to noon and quite exhausted. Turns out they hit traffic anyhow and I would've had some wiggle room, but it got done.

Now I'm in The City of Champions and loving it immeasurably. I'm sure this is due to the fact that I'm being terribly spoiled by my family and friends for the duration of my brief stay, but this has been a great vacation thus far. Dad and I have worked outside on various projects- including the erecting of a lovely copper birdbath in the front garden. Mum and I picked out some charming flora for the front as well, and I had a very enjoyable day planting and gardening. {We won't talk about the jungle of mint and wild violet in the back yard. Three weeks home isn't nearly time enough to fight that battle- the fence is beautiful though!}
I've played board games, seen movies, watched some red sox baseball, played with pretty and daubs and seen alot of friends who are home from college! I have not practised and prepared for second semester as well as I should, but there's another week left.
My pet project has been my fairy tale. Maybe I'll make big bucks and never have to worry again. As for small bucks, I'm subbing at North jr. high tomorrow and will see about a few more days while I'm around.

Talk with you soon,

Beth
