*dashes in and starts throwing stuff into her carry-on bag, as Hawaii Five-O plays in the backround*

So yeah. By this time tomorrow, I'll be away from Washington and on the island of Kaua'i for a week. (*throws her copy of the Iliad, Peeps, and The Secret of Shadow Ranch into the bag*) I'll be celebrating the holidays there, and be back by the 27th (*stuffs notebook, rough drafts, and pencils in*) My cat's being taken care of by my neighbor and BFF Lexas, and I think we'll find her pretty happy when we come home. I might be able to sneak in some BZP time in, if my mom is able to bring the laptop and I get my hands on it. *crams the large candy bars in and shuts the bag*

*slings over shoulder and puts on her Legoland baseball hat* Now, au revoir. *leaves, shutting the door behind her but neglecting to turn off the music*
