Payday tomorrow. Woohoo! Going to take 100 out of it and put it aside for the trip. Same in two weeks, then again on the third one before we go. If I end up getting the child support checks aswell, then Jason the eejit can help fund his daughter’s first big roadtrip. I’m sooo looking forward to this now that it’s getting closer to the time to go. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to go what with Thanksgiving usually being a time when the family gets together and all. But well, Now that Judy’s not here, my grandparents don’t feel up to having company for it and I think they’re just going to go out. I’ve never been away from family for it so I have mixed emotions – excitement at seeing my friends, and a bit of sadness that i won’t be seeing mom, or Judy, or my sister for grandparents for it. I really am too sentimental I think.

And I think too much about stuff. Might be a family trait because kelly does it too. We end up overanalysing every bloody thing until we eventually drive ourselves mad. And it never turns out how we expected. Ah well, I’m not going to dwell on it. Time for snuggling up in bed with my book. Gnighty!

It’s fecking snowing outside. Grrrr. And underneath it is a thickass layer of ice. My car doors were frozen shut this morning – I love when that happens. Need to buy de-icer. Anyway, luckily yesterday I got it in my head to go get my new tires on the car. I’m not a very good planner, hehe. I meant to get one tire this check and another tire next check, but Goodyear had a deal on some used ones. Hope my paycheck is big. They said I need new brakes aswell (rotors and pads whatever that means) *sigh* At this rate I’m never going to get to go to Chicago. Well I am going, but still, I’m not going to have much money. Luckily I’ve only got to cover gas and food and *maybe* a bit of shopping in Chicago. Then it’s up to Rick’s to see the big Pink House, hehehe.. That makes me giggle.. My big tough cousin living in a pink house 🙂

Saw Red Dragon the other night. Very very good and creepy. Much better than Hannibal (though, frankly I liked Hannibal but lecter enthusiasts always seem negative about it. Of course it wasn’t as good as Silence. Even Red Dragon wasn’t as good as that, but it was still scary and creepy and made me look away a few times.

What have I been doing.. Let’s see. Got AAA to make a trip tick thingie for me, free for AAA members so woohoo to that. I remember my aunt using one for our roadtrip to the east coast and it was dead handy. I’m about to begin typing up three brochures on how to quit smoking for the website. wheeeee fun. I lead an exciting life.

Don’t have much else to add. Waiting still to hear from Kelly in Scotland. She better email today.
