I was worried earlier about our trip to Cedar Point, but I feel a lot calmer now. Maybe because Michael gave me a nice back rub, or maybe because I slept a little, or maybe because I had some tea. I don't know why. I was tempted to take some of my Midrin earlier when I was uber stressed, but it didn't come to that. We have the directions printed. I'm mostly packed I think. I have enough clothes I think, though I keep thinking of things to bring. I feel ok about the trip now. Hopefully it goes well.

I forgot to mention that I got to visit an old friend yesterday. Varian Waller and I used to work together at Meijer from July 1996-August 1998. For years after I left I'd go visit her at work and talk for hours; often about Star Trek or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Then she was gone and I had no way of contacting her. Another friend of ours, Karen Edwards ran into Varian at her latest job, and gave me the heads up. I've tried to visit her twice before but she was on medical leave, having some serious GI troubles (which I can relate to), but I finally got to see her today. She still lives with her brother, who's not doing so well; she's a meat eater; she loved the new Star Trek movie; she thinks my boyfriend is cute and was happy to hear all the news about Mark, Mollie & Carrie. It was a good time, but very short as she was busy with clients. I have her phone # in my phone now though and I need to find time to call her. Maybe I could invite her to my party. Then she could see Mollie and Michael and Mark, and meet some other friends? It's a thought.

Ooh. The new Dune & Kiernan books came out today. I'd have had them preordered, but they're on my wishlist so I've been forbidden until after the party. ;-0)

Mark's friend from work gave him a copy of the Motion Comic that was free to download a long while back. I watched a bit of it; it's very interesting. I think Mark will enjoy it. I kind of want to follow along with the graphic novel while I watch it. lol. Or possibly read a chapter, then watch the movtion comic version. Then when I'm done, watch the movie. That's what I'm considering doing now. The grapic novel isn't on my wishlist, so I could order that with no problem. I'd like to own the Motion Comic on dvd too, as I'm sure the picture would be better, and there are probably some other cool things, but that's on my wishlist too. Damn it. lol
