life is good in bourne

thursday, november 19 – sunday, november 22, 2009

on thursday, peggy’s mom left to go back to new york.  she is such a sweetheart!!! we talked about the old days, living on andrews when we were all together.  it was great.  i spent thursday cleaning out the vibe, and re-arranging everything for travelling by myself.  i felt SO accomplished.  then i took a bath in the biggest bathtub in the universe and made dinner ready for when peggy got home from work. 

here are some pictures taken yesterday with julia, kristen, and peggy’s mom:

friday i spent the day in bed (!!) watching a marathon of old project runway episodes (and taking ANOTHER bath in the biggest bathtub in the universe!!). hahahahah it was ultimate luxury! tonight peggy hosted a chocolate martini party and i helped make snacky foods and cleaned up the house a bit.  it was really really fun meeting her friends and drinking chocolate martini’s all night.

saturday, both peggy and i lounged around all day, kristen went to baby-sit a friend’s twins.  we watched silly you-tube videos and tried (with success!!) to find luke slay on facebook.  it was really amazing to re-connecct with him.  he is married and living in southern maryland with a 6 year old son.  i hope to visit him when i get back home and settled.  actually, we all plan to get together at least for our fiftieth (!!) birthdays in 2011!!

saturday night, peggy went to the airport to pick up her son, kyle, who was coming home from college in west virginia, for thanksgiving break.  kristen, tyler (her ex-boyfriend/best friend) and peggy’s brother kevin’s son, brian, and i met them out for dinner (mexican!!).  we had such a great time, sitting outside on the patio listening to a guy play guitar and sing.  kristen and tyler even went up and sang a song!! it was great!

sunday morning i did laundry and re-packed and hit the road.  it was so hard to leave, and peggy’s invitation to stay as long as i want was so inviting, i almost didnt leave.  but i do have a road-trip to finish. :o(

some goodbye pictures:

leaving san antonio, heading east (!!) realizing it is really difficult to drive AND take pictures, i crossed into louisiana:

it started to get foggy, so i stopped and slept in a truck stop in sulpher, la, for the night.
