(no subject)

I'm going on a road trip with my mother today to visit some outlet malls. Yay! May or may not find cool stuff, but it's really nice to be able to spend some time with Mom. Even when we're both home, seems like we hardly see each other lately. So today should be fun.

I'm really looking forward to this- Mom's road trips are the best. We used to take them more often before we moved back to Fresno- you kind of have to when you're us and your town boasts only one really crappy bookstore. So we'd trek to Sacramento or Chico and go shopping, have lunch somewhere cool, trek home... and talk. We talk a lot, in the car, at lunch... I've missed it.

So for once I won't be sitting at my computer writing stuff, pretending to write stuff, or checking my email every five minutes. (Which is mostly what vacation's for, but hey...) I thought just for variety's sake I'd check out the great outdoors.

I think I'm happier than I've been in a long time.
