alright. i've got clothing. i've got shoes. i've got glasses (!!!!!!!!!!!) and contacts. i've got everything i need (i think) to look the part of a capitol hill staffer. and look pretty good, i think! i've also got a new license and a haircut. the fam is going out to dinner tonight (last time we'll all be together for a meal for awhile), then mom and i are packing and watching "broadcast news" tonight. tomorrow--boston baby boston! phone calls will be made to see who's coming, who's not (and will be missed, but it's understandable) and what the timeframe will be. i'm looking to be home early thursday afternoon--bethy and becca, i want to visit!

by the way, i can't help it...howie appears to have bounced back from the ym photo shoot debacle (sorry, but he looked horrible) to looking pretty damn good for the ghost video shoot (for example, here and here, off the official site), if i do say so myself...i know i get teased for it, but there's something about him...
