I've bought myself a roundtrip ticket to Beijing! Departing the 9th of August, and coming back on the 20th. I'm gonna go and just pig out and read some books. Basically 10 days of vegitation!! woo-hoo.. kee hee. It's gonna be awesome. ;) Me, my cousin and her husband might visit the sunny state of Florida when I get back as well. I haven't been to the beach in like who knows how many years, so if that happens that ought to be cool, too .

Speaking of my cousin, I don't think I've ever mentioned here that she's finally pregnant. Sooooo happy for her. Time sure flies... I remember her being this rich Armani-clad punk sister with attitude, but now she has gotten married, settled down in D.C., and expecting.... awwww... how sweet.. :) She used to be one of my primary drinking partners, but I guess that'll have to be put on hold until she lets that monster out of her womb. kee hee. Her mom (my aunt) had gone through some hard times while she was pregnant, and it looks like my cousin isn't having an easy time, either... She's hanging in there, though. You go girl!
