Shock and awe!

Today we are cleaning our apartment. *gasp!* Amazing, I know. It desperately needs it, but it's mostly happening because while we're gone, JJ's mother will be coming over to feed the cats, and the state of this place is really kind of embarassing. I've made a start on my room. I have WAY too much junk. And lots of ponies. I just got a box of 90% fakies in, which is startlingly large and is taking up yet more space, in addition to the box of baits, the box of trade ponies, and the customs in progress. I bought fakies because the lot had one pony I wanted in it, which I got cheap, because in a heap of fakies I don't think anybody else noticed the real one. And I can probably sell the fakies later, especially as there's a pair of Cabbage Patch horses in the lot, which actually have a little value.

Just two days! Today we clean, tomorrow I mail a few last things and pack my stuff, Wednesday we leave at a disgustingly early hour. We're headed to Vegas, where we shall party with boardies, heckle jousters, and have lots of fun. Then we cross the desert at Death Valley and drive up the length of California, where we will hit every national park along the route between there and Oregon, including doing some backpacking in Yosemite. I've never been there, and I quite look forward to it!

We'll be back on July 31st. (At which point, no longer needing to save up for the trip, I shall start saving up for my snake! Yay!) But for now, cleaning.

Ugh, I hate cleaning. It's so monotonous. :(

Your trip sounds like a lot of fun, though! Well... as long as there's an air-conditioner in the car.

There is, though there's always the possibility of overheating the engine going through Death Valley, in which case we'll have to go onwards without AC, as that heats the engine up something awful.

I really can't stand heat... that sort of sounds like my worst nightmare... heehee have fun, though! ^3^

Incedentaly, isn't Death Valley the hottest place in the world? Or the dryest or something?
