"Memory... is the diary that we all carry about with us." -Oscar Wilde

Jen is here! YAY! After dinner tonight I could probably live off chicken with goat cheese and mashed potatoes.

Last night we played tennis with Cinda's parents! It was fun, I was surprised how good they were! We came back to my place for some gourmet Papa Johns pizza and a salad, haha! After finishing off almost 4 bottles of wine and they left, I went to clean up the kitchen to discover that the garbage disposal was broken. After further investigation, it turns out Anne dropped one of my wine stoppers down the train drain and didn't realize it. Now that stopper is wedged between the blades or grinders, whatever it is in there that grinds up the food. Now we have both broken something in the kitchen and I don't feel as bad about the time I broke the stove.

Two weeks from this exact moment I will be in NYC! I can't believe it! Time to freak out! A customer from Long Island today was like, "Why are you moving there? Are you crazy? Its dirty, there is graffiti, people are rude... down here you have the beach and there is landscaping." I guess the grass is always greener on the other side.

Yesterday I made a list of the great (and not so great) memories of Hilton Head Island. There is a story behind each of these memories, to hear it, just ask!
