After a jaunt to glassybaby, two mutually exhausted and unshowered friends began the trek northward. They braved dangerous feats of early morning physical exertion. Glassy-eyed, they lugged giant overpacked bins down the narrow hallways and stairwells of a silent and nearly deserted house. They heaved load upon load into the back end of an SUV, successfully reaching its maximum capacity. These are the same girls who manually pushed a car up an incline this fall, twice (boys, take note). With an estimated couple hundred pounds of textile in tow they ventured home toward glistening snow-capped mountains, clear blue skies and sunshine paving the way.
And now I'm home. After an academically challenging and mentally tiring autumn quarter, I can look forward to 17 days of whatever my heart desires. It will include, at minimum, 8 full hours of sleep each night, reading for pleasure (The Hare With Amber Eyes and Anne of Green Gables), at least one movie per day, bowl games, sibling baking and art projects, Christmas crooners, child labor exploitation with hair stylings and massages courtesy of my sister, and a few Christmas parties sprinkled in. Let it commence!
