Holiday Update

[ceitfianna]

I just finished wrapping all my presents for my family and wanted to give everyone a heads up on what's going to be happening with me. Tomorrow and Tuesday, I'll be driving from Michigan to Delaware with an overnight probably somewhere around the Pennsylvania/Ohio border. Hopefully there will be some kind of internet access wherever I end up staying but there's a good chance there might not be.

I'm going to be around tonight trying to make sure I don't have too much waiting to be done, but if we have threads, they might end up paused until Tuesday night. My holiday cards are printed and addressed, I'm currently writing various notes in them and hope to have them sent out in this coming week. My yuletide is over the half way point and I think tonight if I put my head down and just write, I should have a draft for my beta before I get on the road. Gift fics will be happening throughout the rest of the month, Yuletide comes first but I've got some fun ideas for other ones.

In terms of stuff on the East Coast, I'll be in Delaware until about the first week of January and will have my car so some visits might definitely be in the works. My parents live down in Southern Delaware in the area across from Cape May. I know I've mentioned visits to some of you, so we should be in touch for more planning. My parents' place has numerous sofabeds and is near the water or I can drive and visit as I love having a chance to meet more Milliways' folks.

It's nice to realize my list of what I have to do before I leave is feeling possible.
-make scones for munching on
-pack
-check ipod is fully charged
-finish sealing cards
-draft of yuletide
-print directions

I was going to call you tomorrow and make sure you were still doing this trip. If not, I thought you might want to come down on Friday for a little dinner, since we have family stuff on Saturday (again).

Will you be gone all through the New Year too?

Hope the trip is great - I know how happy you are to be spending the holidays with your family.

Definitely have to get together when you get back then!

Merry Christmas!!

Yes, I will be doing the trip. The weather's not looking too bad and I'll be on interstates most of the way.

I'll be back after the New Year, sometime in the first week I think and we should plan another weekend hangout.

I think and we should plan another weekend hangout.

Definitely! Have a really good trip!

Thank you, I'm looking forward to it and actually feeling rather prepared. I'm sure I'll have a few moments of eep on the drive but I like road trips.

Have a safe trip, and wow, baking for a trip is more prepared than I *ever* get - I'm doing good if my laundry is done by the time I need to pack!

I did a really quick batch of scones from the Joy of Cooking and they're to make sure I have something tasty to munch. And there's just something satisfying about baking in the midst of a lot of other things because I can enjoy the scones now.

I'm expecting to end up someplace where good breakfast isn't really a given and this way I have food.
