I've been a city girl the last week, w/ plans to be a city girl for my last 13 days. Since dropping Teri off @ the airport @ 5 a.m. last week, I've been living in Christchurch w/ friends of my parents & their 3 kids, attempting to sell the van. We definitely paid too much for it, so I haven't been satisfied w/ the offers I received, so I've still got it, which is not according to plan, but what can you do?
So I've spent the last week figuring logistics & buying plane tickets (Wellington-Auckland on my departure date, & Indianapolis-Salt Lake for June) & a ferry ticket for tomorrow. I'm driving from CHC-Picton, which takes about 6 hrs, then getting on the ferry for 3 hrs to get to Wellington, where my college friend Jessica & her husband Simon live. as I said, I'm not thrilled about being a city girl for so long, but am happy to see friends & even got to visit Borders here!
I am absolutely stuffed right now--we had lasagna & pavlova for dinner, before which I ate a bunch of chocolate & crackers (I've been eating a ton of chocolate lately, which I never used to like, which is case for a protruding stomach, as I also haven't been exercising of late!). ah, the joys of living in a house w/ a family! thank you, O'Malley's!
