Update (since I have nothing more creative to title this)

It's been a bit busy in my life lately and feel I have neglected my half dozen or so readers here for which I apologize profusely. Or as profusely as one can do through a blog. Some updates on life in general - I'm still reading Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, and it's still really good (it's over 1000 pages so this one might take awhile). I went to The Good show last weekend and had a great time (though abandoning the BF and friend while I danced away at the front was probably not the nicest thing to do in retrospect, damn you hindsight and your 20/20 vision). I also am now left wondering how to craft lamps that spell out words (and what words I want). Booked a hotel room for the upcoming Wisconsin winter wedding adventure, $190 freaking dollars to basically just crash at the end of the night is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion. There should be some kind of "I'm not going to use any of your child filled indoor water park rides so I should get $80 off the top" pricing. But alas, there is not. So it went on the BF's credit card and I have to figure out a way to pay him back for at least half of it...or figure out a way to not mention it again. Oh and I'm meeting the BF's mom tonight. That is a whole nother post in and of itself. I'm usually pretty good with parents, for the most part they like me, but I am a bit rusty so wish me luck.

Probably the biggest news of all though is that this Friday I'm getting on a plane (cross your fingers on that one!) and heading out to DC for 6 days. Do the math... I'll wait... Yup I'm going to inauguration. Do I have tickets you ask? Nope. Do I care? Nope. While I admit it would be much cooler to actually have tickets to the lawn area I think that just being on the mall during this amazingly historic event will be something I remember for the rest of my life. And more than being excited I am also scared out of my mind. 4 million people freak me out. But I'm crossing my fingers it all goes well and that my camera doesn't freeze, break, or get stolen. I will be back with tales I am sure.
