I'll be leaving for Tennessee early Monday morning. My mom wants to be on the road by 7am, and Monday will be entirely a driving day. We'll get to our hotel in Smoky Mountains National Park that night, and then we'll fart around from there. On the way back up into Indiana, we'll stop at Wolf Park, which is someplace I've always wanted to see soooo badly (if only I were eighteen, I could go in the enclosures with the wolves). We want to be back home by my birthday next Sunday, so we're aiming to be back Friday. That means you won't see me again for five days. I'd take my tablet and get some trades done, but alas, not possible.

When I return, though, I'm going to crack down on the assignments I have for the coming school year, but I'll also do my best to finish up trades and gifts. I would love to have them done by mid-August when I have to go back to school. There's no excuse that some of these are taking so long. Pfft.

Anyway, I'll be busy doing laundry and packing tomorrow, so I'll talk to you all in about a week!

_{(And because I'll be gone, happy birthday, Tyler! I'll probably buy a card and get Nick to sign it and send it off for ya.)}
