packing blows

two days to go.  this week has been insane.  in the last 3 days…

1. i bought both a raincoat and a warm winter coat, the latter of which does not fit into my suitcase and will, at some point, need to be shipped to me.

2. i had two pairs of jeans hemmed.

3. i picked up new mascara and treated myself to an eyeliner.

4. i managed to track down UK and Continental Europe power converters (i figured i’d get both in case i travel).

5. i had my second to last chipotle burrito.

6. i searched high and low for a flanel shirt but couldn’t find one i liked

7. i packed, well mostly.  it was a struggle.  i have figured out that i am not a good packer.  not good at all.

all of this has culminated with me, sitting on the couch, barely awake, watching christina aguilera’s E! true hollywood story.  i know, it’s pathetic - but it was on and i don’t know if i have the strength to change the channel.  i am wiped.  what an appropriate end to the year i’ve had.  summer didn’t really feel like summer.  i didn’t really get to slow down, i just simply had a few chances to put the chaos on hold for a couple of days.  i only managed to read a few books (blink, darkly dreaming dexter, the white tiger, and currently the girl with the dragon tattoo).  i found a few new bands (florence and the machine, the sounds, etc). i moved into my very own apartment, which i must say i am devestated to be leaving so soon.

well i suppose that’s all for now - i have another busy busy day tomorrow.  until we meet again…
