after a long day of travel, i'm finally back in los angeles, after a very very busy trip home to alabama. although, i wondered if i'd make it considering the recent hoopla at the burbank airport the day before i planned to fly in there...

highlights of the trip home: my best friend, who i've known since before birth basically, getting married and running around in the mud at her reception. seeing joe cocker in concert at the chattanooga riverbend festival. laughing 'til i almost peed in my pants (seriously) at brian regan in atlanta. throwing up (for the first time since i was 14 or 15) several times at a braves' baseball game -- in the stands -- fortunately no one was sitting behind us. cutting off my hair, which i still don't know how to deal with. helping my parents clean out all the toys at the house and making sure all the parts are still there (oh the memories!). cleaning out and redecorating a room in the house, that hasn't seen the light of day since before i can remember. and, seeing more rain than necessary practically the whole time i was home.
