rocky go home

today danielle was kind enough to drive me to hope. i am finished there. well, there is the whole settling the estate stuff and whatever. but as of today, i won't be going back there for a while. emailing and faxing will have to do.

we also did some photo taking... this included getting our pics taken in the sylvester stallone plywood thing where you put your face in and it is supposed to be your face with his body kind of thing. i got a picture of the big bear... a totally touristy thing... and a tonne of pictures of mountains (it was a bit overcast, so you can't really see how crazy big they are, but it still gives an idea).

danielle had her wedding album with her, because she wanted a picture changed and the glue taken off a page. the album looks great. it really captures danielle and jordy's personalities. she went to her parents' house and showed it to her dad, and then we stopped at her mom's work to show it to her. now, i really don't consider myself a jealous person. mostly i'm a, "well, this is the way it is, if you want something that someone has, do something about it, or suck it up," kind of person. but it really got me when her mom was looking at the album. she was so proud and happy, and i realised that that's another thing that i wouldn't get to share with my mom. and it makes me really sad to see old people in a retirement community, and feeling ignored by their families. anyway, i totally burst into tears outside.

i'm sure there are other things that made me cry, like lack of sleep, stress, and getting down to the last few days here (and all the things that go with that, like missing friends, and my home, and my life) and i have been feeling a bit weepy the last couple of days, but that was definitely the kicker.

fun things that happened today: taking fun pictures, finding a cute pea coat, and a cute pink and brown bra that i will buy tomorrow, and fielding phone calls from clients. *AND* i totally took newt with me, and worked on the ride in... this means that i'm just waiting to hear a final okay on the poster/sign thing i had to do. and i'm going strong on the website... which i want done tonight or tomorrow morning... before waxing. wurrd.
