in non-headline lara news, it's my last day in TN until may... on the to do list:
* get my car back... it's in the shop getting belts checked that got fixed in NJ in november but have been making funny noises... should be a free repair since both places are goodyears, but i can't load the car til i get it back
* pack... the amount of clothes i have here doubled over christmas, so it's a little more work than one might imagine
* figure out what to bring my grandma for a late christmas present tomorrow... dad promised to help
* dinner here with the family

tomorrow, it's off to chicago i go... thursday, still hanging out at g-ma's house, friday to pittsburgh, saturday to jersey... next update then unless something particularly entertaining happens later today.

be parties one and all!
