That's It...

...I'm leaving the country. No seriously, I'm leaving. I'll be in Canada for two weeks. If something earth shattering happens and you absolutely must get in touch with me, you're out of luck...I'm sorry. You could try e-mailing me (laura.copenhaver@gmail.com), but I'm not making any promises.

I will be:
-watching the cousin tie the knot in Mississauga (harder to spell than Mississippi)
-road tripping it out to the east coast (Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island) with the parents and the brother-ito. Yeah, I'm pretty stoked. Oh, and hurray for iPods and laptops and Animaniacs and books
-chilling in Mississauga/Toronto with the cousins and visiting friends of my parents (and support raising).

I return to the good old U.S. of A on August 10, eh!

The Kids Will Play

My parents have been out of town for the week, so I thought I'd post some pictures to give you an idea of just how messy the house (kitchen) gets when my mom isn't around. It's really not that bad, but well, let's just say that one pan has been there for a few days...

The kitchen...not too bad. But then again, we've been eating frozen pizza's for the last two days. At least the pizza boxes aren't there anymore.

When Mom is away...we don't use silverware. Or plates.

Kitchen table. Confession: the lasagne dish was a plant, it's actually been on the island all week long.

I think this dish thingy ended up in the sink sometime after I told the sqiurt to clean up the kitchen. That was Tuesday. Today is Friday. Maybe that's where the weird smell is coming from.

So, that's what the kitchen looks like. I have actually cleaned the kitchen this week, on Sunday I think. But hey, that's what Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons are for, right?
