Journal-less

I have two pages left in my journal so I believe a serious trip to Barnes & Noble needs to take place. Unfortunately, I am not sure if I will be able to make it to springfield or st. louis before I leave for Africa... but it is my mission nonetheless.

My great Aunt Briggitte is down from Vermont to see my great-grandma for the weekend. I think she is cool and so much about her reminds me of my grandma (her sister) some times. I like her hair too, she looks so chic and European. Plus she speaks french.. so thats sweet too. Tonight we are going out to eat with the whole fam, and then I am heading to Quincy to the Art Faire to watch a Blues concert with some friends. I think this weekend is starting off great already as I sit here in anticipation.

But I need a place to write long-hand... or I will go mad. And walmart journals don't cut it.. they have to be good-quality, leather-protected journals... My writing is important to me- and as Gandolf says about the ring in Lord of the Rings..
