Fly away, Fay!

I'm sitting here watching my DREAM Project Runway!!! Chris March, my love, is back and they're designing for drag queens. God bless America.

However, I am not enjoying it as much as I might otherwise because I am SO SICK OF SITTING INSIDE WATCHING TV AND READING!!! This dang tropical storm needs to get the hell out of town. I'm thankful that there's no serious damage or flooding for us, but I'm starved for sunshine! Grandma and I are just going stir crazy.

On the bright side (ha), I'm reminded of just how stunningly gorgeous White Oleander is. It's a good book to read for me at this turning point in my life - all about independence and survival! Whoo! Of course, my cushy internship isn't quite the same as a foster girl going from one traumatic and beautiful adventure to the other...but nevermind. Next up - Eat, Pray, Love. I absolutely devoured that book like nobody's business the first time I read it back in March, so I'm going to try to absorb it a little better this time.

In a few short days, I'll be making the drive from Grandma's to Sarasota - which will hopefully be a mere 3 hours. I'm nervous, very excited, and very frightened by the idea that I might not have air conditioning in my bedoom (!). I can't count how many times in my life I have uttered the sentence, "Air conditioning is my favorite invention!" or "I need to be cold to fall asleep." Oh, universe. Always looking for ways to make me grow up and build character. Damn you.

Gotta run. This is going to be the most fabulous runway show in history...
