When I studied abroad in Italy in 2007, my friends and I had a lot of nicknames for each other and our possessions. My travel bag was named "Fatty". My friend's winter jacket was named "Old Yeller". Since my laptop was so much heavier and bulkier than everybody else's, it got the nickname "Big Bertha".
Big Bertha has been a great companion of mine, since she traveled to many places in the world with me. I always take her back and forth with me to Australia. Unfortunately, Big Bertha is getting very old and isn't able to function very well. I never use her anymore in Adelaide; I always use Alastair's laptop. Since Bertha is very tired and slow and heavy, I made the tough decision to leave her on her shelf in Adelaide.
You must be curious why I'm going on about my old laptop. Well, since I don't have a laptop with me, I will most likely NOT be able to blog at all this weekend. I know that I have taken a break for several days at a time before, but this is a planned break. I would love to blog, but at least I know ahead of time that I won't be able to.
I have a manicure/pedicure in 40 minutes, then I'm going to pick up my dress and then I'm hitching a ride with the maid of honor (Jessie's cousin) to the city. I have a rehearsal at 5, a rehearsal dinner at 7 and then a whole day of getting beautified with the bride before the wedding. This is my first friend to get married, so this is HUGE. I promise to take tons of pictures. I will not disappoint!
I'll see you all when I get back from the big city!
