Makita safari package

[auntiemeesh]

Tonight was girls' night out, and let me tell you, it was a raucous and wild evening. The FCG ain't got nothing on these ladies. We were the entertainment for the entire bar. There was much discussion of battery operated 'tools' that might reside in the bedroom, and the proper uses of said tools. lyda_pearl came up with a whole new application for Makita power drills. It was impressive.

S made a fruit tray with chocolate covered strawberries, sugar-dipped grapes, orange slices and garlic pistachios. Mmm, yummy. I was given many fond farewells throughout the course of the evening but the weirdest by far was from a friend of S's. This was an older gentleman (probably in his late fifties) who bought me a drink to 'honor' me. Unfortunately, he brought it over just as we were getting ready to leave, so I couldn't drink it (one of the down sides of being able to drive is having to take a turn at designated driver), but it was sweet of him. He then proceeded to feel our hands and offer various blessings and honors to everyone at the table, while warning me that I really shouldn't go back to Pittsburgh because it's going to fall into a big hole any day now. I'm told he's really a very nice guy, who doesn't mean anything by it, but it was still a little strange.

I kicked ass at pool tonight. Not sure how that happened, but it was fun. (Now, when I say I kicked ass, I mean that I sucked slightly less than the other women playing, but still, I won.)

whtmtnwmn gave me a new address book with everyone's addresses already filled in, and I've promised to write to everyone. I'm feeling a little sad, because I really do like the people I've met up here and I hate leaving friends. But I'm heading back to friends as well. If I ever get finished packing. Which I should go do now.

Awww...I can't believe just a year ago I was in your place, getting ready to go to law school in the fall. And here I am, frazzled and 3/4 the way through finals.

BTW, where in Pitt is the school? I have family there, and I wonder if i've seen it.

Let me know if I can help you with any first year stuff!

Thanks! I'll let you know if I need help. :)

I'm going to the University of Pittsburgh, which is in Oakland. If you've been to Pgh, you've probably seen at least the Cathedral of Learning (http://www.umc.pitt.edu/tour/tour-080.html), which is visible from a large part of the city.

Thanks for making my last night in Berlin so much fun! You guys all made me much sadder than I was planning to be. *sniff* It's so much harder to leave when everyone gets all huggy and stuff.

*hugs*

Ah, I hope one day to meet the Berlin crowd (and say hi again to lyda_pearl). Sounds like a great time :)

Anyway, your info says you'll be touching down in Pittsburgh at 5:44pm Sunday. I will be cruising the pick-up circle in the MiniMoya, possibly also with uisceboo. Yay!

I'm glad you had a fun time on your last evening in New Hampshire. I hope your day/evening in Boston is just as enjoyable, that the flight back to Pittsburgh is smooth and over quickly, and that your friends in Pittsburgh welcome you back with the appropriate amount of attention and enthusiasm! ((((((Meesh))))))
