Rambling while packing

[ickaimp]

So the wedding is today, at 4pm. I'm starting to sort and pack all my stuff back up, cause we leave tomorrow and not sure how hectic s'gonna be.

There's no radio in the room either, so kinda left in my head and rambling.

Dad, Gigi and the Kids ended up heading off to Palm Desert for the weekend and youngest sister headed to Vegas, so not getting to see her either. That leaves the house with just me, Aunt Debbie and my youngest brother, who's been at a rock concert and who's just been a red-headed over 6ft shadow.
Kinda quiet. Niiiiice.

They won't be back until tomorrow, which means I can get a good night's sleep on the floor again without getting questions and strange looks about it. Because dammit, I'm used to it and the bed feels weird. Besides, the dogs are down there and they make good space heaters. (Torrance about 20f cooler than Tucson right now)

Thinking our mutt may not make it much longer. He's still a luv, but we're estimating he's about 16 years old now, and sometimes his hindlegs give out. ((Huggles Cannonball))

Wandered yesterday, have 3 vintage kimono and a haori to bring back now. That extra space in our luggage when we came here? Gone now. Heee. Hope they fit people.
Kinda funny how the area has changed in the last six months to a year. Not always for the better, but sometimes.

Made breakfast for Aunt Debbie, since she did dinner last night. She requested bacon. Ugh. Haven't been able to eat pork in years. Not allergic to it, just can't digest it, so if I do eat more than a bite of it, my insides feel like they're trying to explode for about a half day as my digestive system attemps to empty everything via both north and south ends.
How you can tell you care for someone: You cook pork. Blargh.
-it ended up burnt. Ah, well. The rolls and eggs were good.
(sorry, that has been kinda the focus of the morning: breakfast)

Also signed up for ship_manifesto to write an essay on why we like Hakuba/Kaito. S'funny, kinda making me think hard about it.
Cause at first, we really hated Hakuba. Hated him LOTS. But he kept showing up in our ficbits, so we got used to him. Then Golden Eye came along and we started liking him.
But think the main reason we like the pairing is the potential for Snark.
Even back when we didn't like him, had great fun pointing Kaito and Hakuba towards each other just to watch them butt heads. Even when you take out the 'Tantei vs Kaitou ha-ha' aspect, Kaito's still a prankster at heart and Saguru's still a sarcastic stubborn SOB. Comic and a straight man (write yer own joke) in one convient package.

So plane leaves tomorrow at 12:30 and should get to Tucson around 15:40. With my luck lately, we'll see.
Never had this much trouble traveling before (although we're a firm believer of it's not the destination, it's the journey), but think I realised why we're playing Murphy's Bendover Boi in the travel department lately.
We've only been traveling between Home and Los Angeles.
We're not supposed to be in LA.
-which pretty much explains it, huh?

Also, if you take a wood-and-jade bead bracelet and a solid jade bracelet and put them on the same arm, it sounds like a cat bell every time they bump into each other. >^.^< Mew.
