renting freedom

i'm renting a car tomorrow.

let me explain. (;

so monday i found out that my trainee michael is going to be performing in bemidji this weekend. i email cari and rene and amanda, to let them know about it.

tuesday i get an email from amanda: "are you driving up too?"
wednesday i get an email from rene: "i have a sitter this weekend, it's a sign, drive up."
thursday i call cari on a whim: "i was *just* going to call you and badger you into driving up."

so i rented the car. i think i'll drive up saturday morning, but it'll depend on how late i get done tomorrow and how tired i am.

i also need to stop and see my sister in st cloud because we're trying to plan (long distance planning BITES) a party for my dad on feb 5th--it's his one year bypass birthday! yay dad! he's doing swimmingly, and both him and mom have lost a lot of weight. probably about a fifth-grader, between the pair.

anyway i'm tired, i have a shitload of laundry to do (which is currently annexing the upstair hallway, my apologies dan and eero...and shiva too, even tho she couldn't care less and probably would be willing to sleep and/or poop on said laundry. mainly sleep tho. LOL) and i really, really, really need to get some of the crap off the floor upstairs.

i'm excited to go. i just wish i had more time!!! i need at least another fifteen hours a week, just to keep up with everything that goes on in the world--i guess self-centeredly, my world, my friends, my life.

i need to get my priorities in order and just find a new car so i don't have to rent to travel. but i'm kind of apathetic about car shopping, right now. so i guess it will wait until the following weekend.

i'm also hoping (hint, hint to dan) that we can start his spygame soon. i'm jazzed to play. i have to admit i've been enjoying eero's game a great deal despite not liking the palladium system; i like my character (who likes to make things burn) and i like the story. (:

anyway now i really need to do something! (:
