leavin' on a jet plane...

 I'm still in my jammies, going to slip into my bathing suit, then head to the pool with my suitcase and travel backpack, Paul is dropping me off...Emily will pick me up, fresh from my invigorating swim, and off we'll go, driving to Newark, then an evening flight to Oslo, which you know I won't be sleeping on.  By the time we get to Norway, I'll be ready for a big nap, which I will try all day to resist, so I can climb into bed tomorrow night and just fall asleep.  With the time difference, you have to try to do that.  It's hard when you're going for such a short time, but it'll be worth it.

Yesterday, Sonja had the day off, so we went to the thrift store.  Camille found a dress from Banana Republic, looked lovely on her, she tried it on in the store, it was $12.99...it had one pull in it, so we debated at the register, then decided to just get it, as she can wear it to Evelyn's wedding.  The tag had fallen off at some point, oh no!  They will not sell if there is no tag!  I told the lady it was a blue tag for $12.99, she rang it up, 99 cents.  Turns out blue tags were 99 cents!

Anyway, have a nice weekend, and I'll be back next week!
