I still loathe you

I hate you all, still. We never should have missed Warwick you guys would have loved it, not only the castle but the entire town. And there was this absolutely darling dress/nightgown that I saw half off under £30 that I so wanted to by Rali but my budget prevailed :( It was so darling, green satin cut on the bias so it swung with crepe straps. I love England so completely but it would have been pure folly to go back to Newbold this year, I would have become a melencholy bird. I spent yesterday at the school visiting the Southern's. They could use your prayers, Rosy's kidneys have completely shut down and she has to go in for dialisis. The good news is that Daniel is able to give her one of his so the transplant will happen at the end of the month but as always there are risks so our prayer is still needed. Well I ought be off, later.

Wandering alone/again

I could not decide on a word for the title so you get a special two-for-one deal today. I am again in the land of bangers and mash and you all would be very proud of me. I got off the plane, went to the trainstation, looked at the possible destinations and went, "hmm, Brighton sounds nice." And the lack of planning did not end there, upon arrival in Brighton I simply picked a street and headed towards the sea. No map, no real destination, no list of things to see, just wandering in true smkr fashion. And I loathe you all for not being here everytime I want to go, "ooh, look at that" and no one is there to look. You all have better things to do. But, Rali, we should have gone to Brighton. I must have passed half a dozen clubs before I reached the sea. Then, as I walked upon the wall I began to here a thump-a-thump-a-thump-a from below only to realize that there was a club still open, music blaring, bouncer staring at 8:30am New Years day. It was really quite entertaining. You will have to excuse me if this post disolves into drivel as I have now been up for more than 24 hours and am simply waiting to be able to check into my hostel in order to grab some much desired rest. Oh yeah, Rali, if you fly from Burbank you can save another $20 on that airfare I told you about. I am tempted to go to the Thai place tonight but I think I will save that for when Lacey is over here. I will try to post here or my blog to update ya'll, Vala included. Brain sutting down, must sleep....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

RABBIT RABBIT

Ha HA! I got you all.

I hope your vacations have been delighful. Mine was frightfully uneventful but once again I managed to drive in the dark, on a freeway, in traffic, with wind and rain, and NOT KILL ANYONE!!! GO ME!!! But let me tell you, I came out of those two hours considerably shell-shocked. And that has been my excitement for the season.

I have also not been online for this entire vacation, barring a few days I think.

Mau (is that how you spell it, Daphne? That's how I always spell it in my head when I hear it) has spread to all of my friends and all of my sisters friends and now some of my sister's friend's parents. I think of you all everytime I play it, but I really wish we had played it more than just - what was it? - three times? Honestly. How un-fun is that? (wow, my vocabulary is seriously lacking. I think my brain may also be on vacation. Or maybe I lost it when I was in shock after surviving that driving...excitement.)

Well, in honesty the rest of this post is just me rambling so I don't feel as guilty that the real reason for posting was to rabbit rabbit you all.
