Maine Run

I went up to Maine today with Jordana and her mother. It took us about 8 hours because we stopped in about a million places on the way up. So the 2 hour trip was quadrupled. Anyhow, we stopped at the Ba'hai school, Green Acre, where Jordana spent the summer and clothing stores to get Jordana a coat. She got this awesome one and I want it!! I got a really nice pair of leather gloves because of the cold that has suddenly ambushed me (first snow today!) and then we went to the ocean and looked at rocks and kelp and the waves. Afterwards, we went to Maine's most famous lighthouse. I don't know what it's called but it's the absolute stereotypical lighthouse, equipped with the red flashing light, the house attached to it, the rocky coves and tide pools surrounding it, and no way to get to it by boat or dolly.

Next, we finally made it to their area, and stopped off to get this amazing homemade apple pie that I'm dying for again. Just as we pulled up to that, I finished making my hat that goes with my scarf. Yay! I talked to Lindsay for abotu 8 million hours and told her I'd make her a matching set like mine if she buys the yarn. Peacock color rocks. Naomi is making a blanket from it and it's amazing.

Finally, finally, we made it to the farm. I went right to the computer and finished my medieval lit paper...before 9:00!!!!! MiRACLE OF MIRACLES. Kienan from home edited over the internet and I'm such a dork that I actually cut and pasted all his comments into a file so that I can go back to it tomorrow and put them all in before I go peer edit with Keen and Rachel.

On top of things, Kienan just told me (reminded me) that tonight daylight's saving time ends! Hell YES! And extra hour of sleep!

While I was having my 8 million hour conversation with Lindsay Mark called to tell me that he was calling me. No shit. And then I said I'd call back and he said his phone would be off because he had no batteries. So: WHY THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING ME WITH NO BATTERIES?!?!!? I don't understand people who do that. Whatever.

In the middle of the 8 million hours I tried to help get Jordana's pants hemmed but that didn't go over so well. One pair was red and bleached at the bottom so she said she'd color the white spot in with permanent marker. *what a strange, ingenious idea?????* And now I'm exhausted.

MUST SLEEP.
