tainted_heavenSo vacation starts on Friday with the Chicago/Earth Wind and Fire concert. Yippee! Ok, so that was sarcasm, but it's my Mom's very first concert and she's 56, so I'll fein enthusiasm for her. Sunday is the dreaded shower of doom. We told Sarah we had to go to a Parent/Student brunch at La Salle and she seemed to buy it.
Monday is business day. Get my license renewed, sleep a bit, do our wash. Then take the trail of death. otherwise known as Route 42 over to the shoe place in Jersey. That should prove to be interesting, considering I think half the bridesmaids and my Mom are coming with us.
Tuesday we'll be heading down the shore, but I'm not sure what time. I'm not which shore point, either for that matter. It's a free trip. Chris' best friend Scott's parents have a house down there and since Scott will be there, we're meeting up with him on Tuesday and spending the night and Wednesday there. We don't know what time Scott will be going though, so if it's late, we thought we might take in the aquarium during the day.
Thursday we'll be going to Gettysburg. Chris has never been there, I like history and we can do everything there for a total cost of $14. Not a bad deal. We'll spend the night at my Dad's friend's house, then head into Duncannon on Friday. We used to go and stay there when we were younger, and I haven't been up there for probably about 10 years. It's a really neat little town, with this antique store/museum called the sled works. It used to be a sled factory, it's not just a clever name. We're going to have lunch at the Red Rabbit, which has the best burgers EVER. No, seriously, it's worth the two hour drive just for one of these puppies and I'm not quite sure why I haven't already done that. I've considered it a lot, but never actually done anything about it. To top off our day, we'll be going to the Titanic exhibit in Harrisburg then heading home.
Nothing too excited, but it should be a fun relaxing time. Most importantly, it will be cheap. We're trying to get my Mom to go with us upstate, but she hasn't given me an answer yet. She loves it there and doesn't get to go anymore because my Dad is a cunt, but if you read my Live Journal, you already know that.
I feel kinda bad for Sarah. We have our differences and stuff, but she's still my sister. According to RuthAnne, only 30 people are coming to the shower, so that actually means only about 25 actually guests. There's 6 bridesmaids. Almost nobody bought her anything from her registries, which is a shame, because it's not like she asked for anything that outrageous or overpriced, like I thought she would.
Maybe she'll get lucky and a lot of people will wind up shopping on Saturday.
I'm out for now. I've discovered that I'm definitely allergic to the acrylic they use to do my nails and I have horrible blisters on my fingers. I cannot describe in words how badly it hurts to type. Almost to the point that I don't believe I'm doing it, but not so bad that I totally can't. I think I'll play with my scanner for awhile, seeing as I finally hooked it up and that only uses a mouse.
