Sunday night, July 25
i'm in a hotel in charlotte, NC with charita (road dawg extraordinaire) 100 or so miles into the slog back to baltimore. tomorrow, 8 hours of driving the 14' truck with no cds and no co-pilot.
last night in greenville was awesome - i was able to see my friends and my favorite relatives and i realized that visiting really is the best way to appreciate the South. a few days, then i'm good to go. and in typical sarah weakley fashion, i managed to drink far too much and this morning came a tad too early.
notably, we managed to see both a seersucker shirt (on my friend jamie) and white linen pants (on my friend graham). southern mission accomplished.
oh(!) and i bought my mayonnaise. Duke's. i don't care how unhealthy it is, i love mayonnaise on sandwiches. and for a girl who eats as many tuna sandwiches as i do, it matters. there is also 100 calories in 1 tablespoon.

8 hours of driving, ugh. i only had to put in the i-pod once, in the middle of virginia where apparently gospel radio only exists. otherwise, i heard THREE Hall and Oates songs, i did not hit any animals, and hit dc before rush hour. i gloated.
charita and i also unloaded all my crap from the u haul in under and hour, went to home depot to get the plywood for my bed ( the box spring won't fit down the stairs...errrg), and then..
the only regret.
we were feeling so accomplished that at 8pm we started to put together an IKEA dresser. this project was abandoned in another hour after much swearing. do not attempt this. you will want to cut your eyes with the picture-only directions. (but we know how i feel about IKEA).

i attempted work. i sound like a phlegmy Stevie Nicks and am tired all over.
this will not bode well for the housewarming party we are throwing on friday.
