IT'S A HOVEL AND...

We leave for Northern California on Tuesday. I should be packing but I'm overwhelmed. There's too much to do and I don't see how we'll get it all done before the movers arrive, so I'm sitting here in the air conditioning avoiding all of it. It's like 95 degrees here today, and I sure won't miss that.

I think I promised you a baby in madras shorts last time.

 

 

The sunglasses one is for good measure.

Ugh, moving. It brings out the worst in both Gray and I. I hung up on him for the first time in my life yesterday because I was so mad, and then he called back and I didn't answer and he kept calling and calling until I picked up, and then when I did he yelled at me. We were the meanest we've ever been to each other and I'll just be glad when all the packing peanuts are out of my life.

I don't figure I'll write again before we go, because it's too crazy. But soon you'll be seeing pictures of babies on beaches. And dogs on beaches. The dogs are totally freaked out with all the boxes cluttering every walking space, so I keep petting them and saying that soon they'll be jumping in the waves and it will all be worth it. I keep telling myself the same thing.
