I'm in Charlottesville now. I haven't been able to track down any Cville people other than my parents so far, so I've been hanging out with them. I met Mom at the thrift store where she volunteers, and since she was taking so long to finish up, I decided I would pick out some clothes for myself. And she could pay for them. So that worked out nicely, and I have a bag full of "new" shirts. We went out to lunch together at the Ming Dynasty, my new favorite restaurant, and I was able to save exactly 3 1/2 vegan "meatballs" to have later. They are so good it's almost painful. I was sad the whole time I was eating them because I knew it would be a long time before I'd get the chance to have them again...sigh.

I did go to the gym this morning, although my foot was trying hard to talk me out of it. I went for 25 minutes on the elliptical machine, got my heart up to the target cardio rate, but kept the pace a lot slower than the past few days. I don't remember if I worked out on Monday or not (I'm thinking I didn't), but I have either been to the gym or yoga class each of the last five days, and I have yoga again tomorrow. My mom had good things to say when she saw me today. :) That reminds me, I need to steal her coat for tonight.

I'm trying to get a ticket to the Miami/VT football game next Saturday. Dad has an extra, but my oh-so-considerate brother didn't think about me before offering it to his buddy. So I'm just crossing my fingers that Adrian's friend won't be able to make it so I can go. But then again, I'll have fun watching it on TV, too. But don't tell my brother, because this is good for a guilt trip...

My mother confided in me today something I never thought I'd hear from either of my parents. They're voting for Kaine! Both of them! I almost shit a brick. My parents, voting for a Democrat. The one good thing Bush has done during his reign of terror is to really alienate a lot of Republicans who just aren't down with his style of warmongering. I mean government. Well, no, I don't.

Bridgewater clinched the ODAC championship today, too:) I'm bummed there aren't more games on that I'm interested in today, but I'm happy with all of the recent results. Go Eagles, Go Hokies, And Go whoever's playing Texas and USC.

It's hard to write a coherent update with all the noise in this house. Such is life in the home of a true Southern Matriarch, I suppose. (That's my mom, not me)

Peace.
