In exactly 12 days, I'm going to need my passport. : )
My renewed passport came in the mail last week. I started jumping up and down and maybe squealing when I opened the mail. The trip has been on the books since February, but it finally feels official.
I asked my mom if I could borrow her Nook for the trip, and she gave it to me instead. : ) I also have access to her library, which includes the Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games trilogy, Stephanie Plum, lots of murder mysteries, and lots of classics. So I'm all set.
I did, however, get a new cover for her my Nook. I stopped in at Barnes & Noble one afternoon and found a super-cute case and then realized I didn't know which size case I needed. So I asked the customer service guy.
me: Hi. I was wondering if you could help me pick out a case? My mom just gave me her Nook, and I like this one, but I don't know which Nook it is, and I haven't used it very much, and I don't know if this is the right size, so this is going to be a difficult conversation.
him: No, no! This is going to be a great conversation! We can figure this out! What can you tell me about it?
me: Um, it has the slidy-thing along the bottom (as I'm motioning with my index finger), and it's in color...I'm pretty sure it has internet access...it's white...
him: Okay, great. Is it more square or more rectangular?
me: Um, I think it's like this (making a rectangle with my hands). And you can turn the pages with your fingers?
him: Okay! Let's look at these. Is it like any of these?
me: I think it's this size. OH! It has the little clicky things on the sides!
him: Oh, okay! Perfect! That's a first generation...You can't use that case.
But I found this cool silver one, so it all worked out. : )
I'm trying to wait until Wednesday to start packing. We'll see if I make it. : )
