Day 269/365 (May 14. 2009)

blargh!

major "events/milestones" of the day:

woke up on the early side for softball... i got rained out, but at least this time i didnt go to the park first!

did laundry... first time i had to go to the laundromat in like 3 months, it was so horrible! i had to use the large machine that takes forever because of all the sheets and towels and stuff from our house guests, there was a smelly guy drinking some brown bagged alcohol next to me for a bit because there werent many other seating options, then after he left the same mother and child from the krysta, lizzie, and i laundry experience showed up. she once again did no active parenting with him and he took to me like glue and wouldnt leave me be and insisted on helping me with putting my clothes in the drier.... yea, so frustrating! i was able to read some more of Forever Princess (final princess diaries book) while there, and am back into reading so hopefully i will finish it on the sooner side!

packing... i have been packing for my roadtrip... i hate packing and always over pack, but now i am finished

i voted about 110 times for the vgl gay boys on logo's now next awards or whatever it was

i did quite a few dishes, though there are still more to be done

tucker was with josh today, and emma could tell i was getting ready for a trip so this is her protesting that

i am really bummed i cant go to The Mercury Lounge with everyone else to see The Spring Standards tonight. i havent seen them in quite some time and have no idea when i will be able to catch them again, so it pains me to not be there... but everyone so often i make a decision based on responsibility and maturity opposed to a selfish me me me choice and this has to be it. i have a very long (and early) roadtrip ahead of me and if i go see them tonight by the time they finish and all that jazz and i get home, then would have to get up for new jersey i wouldnt get any actual sleep and since i have to drive part of the 9 hour drive, and be awake when i am not driving... i just cant stay out like that, so instead i am going to swing by karaoke ever so briefly at TOL and then head to NJ tonight so we can leave bright and early in the morning (before the sun even rises!)

I also went to hang with sasha for a bit and marty was there and they were working on a figure out how they did that project and it was nice hanging and spending some time with them and fred and pip.
