We leave in a DAY! Eeeeeeeeeee!

Today so far: tying up loose ends at work, sending reminder emails, piles of paperwork, CAYA chapel, leftover lasagna lunch with Heather, blossoming trees outside my office window. This is the week to have an office window in Abilene, for sure. These trees are covered with delicate white star-shaped blossoms, and the bees, living up to legend, are busy. According to Glenn, by the time we get back from Spring Break they'll be in full leaf. I almost hope not...I don't want all the bloomy loveliness to go away so soon.

Tonight: dinner date at Chili's with J (thank heaven for gift cards and not having to cook), last-minute trip to Wal-Mart, PACKING, slipping out to coffee night with the ladies. In a day and a half we'll be on the other side of the pond. Worship at St. Aldate's, ice cream at G&D's, sandwiches at On the Hoof, browsing lots and lots of bookstores, showing J ALL my favourite places in my favourite city. I can't WAIT!
