I leave England a week from tomorrow. It's crazy to think that my time here is finally coming to an end. When I was making supper for the kids yesterday, it just occurred to me that this kitchen that I have become so accustomed to, I won't ever see again. Most likely, I won't come back to this house, or this town, or see this family and all the other people I have met this summer, ever again. But then maybe I will, who knows?

I have been getting really excited about coming home lately. Today I got my first wave of sadness though. Bobo and Hermione left today with their aunt to go on holiday in Wales, and they won't be back before I leave. I was expecting to be a little sad, but I actually felt a tiny pain in my heart. It sounds cheesy I know, but I was really overwhelming. Bobo was just clinging to me and she said that she wished she could find the card that she made for me. Gah... it almost makes me want to cry. I don't think I was expecting that so much.

Thursday the rest of the family-Tessa, Quinton, Deedee, and Oscar-are leaving to join the girls on holiday, so I'll be alone in the house most of that day and Friday. Then Saturday morning I'll take a taxi to the train station, and then the train to London. I'll spend the day there, stay the night in their friend John's flat, and then Sunday I'll fly back home. Weird.

Okay, so I'm leaving Monday and traveling alone. So.

Make me a playlist!

I'll be on a plane for freaking forever, so, I'm trying to get a bunch of my friends to make playlists for me to put on my ipod for me to listen to while traveling.

Just...
1. Make a list of the songs you want on it
2. Give the playlist a title that some how incorporates your name, so that I can smile at it when i select it from the ipod.
3. Please be willing to email me a song if I don't already have it or can't find it on Ruckus or Limewire.

I like playlists because they're very particular to the people that make them, it's music, and they excite me and make me happy.

So far, Elaine, Adam, and Amilee have agreed to do this. PLEASE DO IT!! :)
