JBuck's, Marsalis & Family

Went to lunch at JBuck's with the family today, and it was very good. I had a turkey club (mostly for the guacamole, haha) that fell apart the second I tried to eat it - too much meat - and this crazy bottled blackberry tea. They spirited away the bottles when we weren't looking (or at least it seemed that way), otherwise I would've kept mine. They were interesting. As for my family, we always have such a good time together. Making horrible jokes, flipping each other off... just being generally ridiculous. I'm going to miss them a lot, even if I am ready to head back to school. We're going to a Wynton Marsalis concert tonight. Thank god for good jazz and people who appreciate good music. It's going to be fabulous, I can feel it.

I still haven't started packing, which is how it usually goes and also a very bad idea. Turns out we aren't leaving until midday anyway because my dad wants to visit my grandpa at the hospital in the morning. I won't get to Columbia until around 4 or 5, maybe later. That's fine, though. Casey isn't coming back until Monday afternoon and Sayeed won't be there until around the time that I will (oh, le sigh). Poor Gabs is already there without much company, though I suppose Ben and Jim are as well. I have no idea about Johnny, and considering circumstances (or emotional attachments, perhaps) he'd be the one she would be most concerned about...

I guess talking about packing instead of doing it isn't a very effective way to get things accomplished. I'm off to be productive!
