i'm back in alabama for the first time in 6 months, as of about 28 hours ago.  and yes, i feel for nathan on his dial-up...i'm there right now too :(  it's not a pretty sight!  anyway, i can't complain cuz i've just spent the past forever with my neices. 

the flights weren't too bad yesterday, considering it was my first time to fly in a year and a half.  met some cool people on the planes and in the airports, as well as did a bit of fundraising.  went today and saw emily, the girl i babysat all last semester, and her parents helped out with the fundraising too. 

last night mal, my oldest neice-4 years old, wouldn't stop crying when she had to leave to go home.  so i ended up having to go to her house to pick her up and bring her back here to spend the night.  she then woke up at 4AM and woke me up to ask me if it was time to wake up.  after telling her no several different times, she finally went back to sleep.  then she woke me up at 7AM to ask again...of course then it was actually time to wake up.  so we went to chickfila for breakfast this moring...that's right-CHICK-FIL-A!  and i had sonic for lunch...mmm.  then tonight my mom made me baked beans with meat in it and potato salad and grilled hotdogs.  all that weight i've lost in nyc over the past 6 months, i will gain back during my week here in alabama. 

i miss nyc and my friends there.  oh, my neice keeps saying, "i missed you at new york. i don't want you to go back. when i get bigger like you i'm gonna go on a plane to new york."

AUBURN/alabama game tomorrow...WAR EAGLE!!!
