Leaving Lawrence this morning

[pegkerr]

What I'm leaving behind:

Vols. 1 and 2 of Neil Gaiman's Sandman, which I'd borrowed from kijjohnson previously.
A bottle of Woolite I'd bought to wash out my workout clothes but don't want to take with me on the airplane.
The copy of People magazine I'd read on the plane coming out.
The BBC Lord of the Rings radio production I gave her as a Christmas present.
The mobile I gave her as a birthday present. (Kij says, "It was our birthday present, precious, and we wants it!")

What I'm taking with me that I didn't have with me when I arrived:

A few new ribbons sewn on my ribbon coat.
New books (Christmas presents from Kij): The Annotated Hobbit, Annotated Classic Fairy Tales and Charting Your Goals (for thinking about future moving-into-the-writer's-life planning).
Vols. 3 and 4 of The Road to Science Fiction, personally inscribed and autographed by Jim Gunn.
Borrowed books which will be eventually returned: One of the Jeeves (P.G. Wodehouse) books I'd picked up to read this weekend, The Private World of Georgette Heyer and the next two volumes of Sandman.
The first two episodes of Sharpe (with Sean Bean). kijjohnson is giving them to me since they've decided to get the whole set.
The outlines of kijjohnson's next two novels.
A new swing coat, in black, that I got at a store downtown.
A couple wee gifties for my little girls, bought in a toy store, also downtown.
The doggie bag with my leftover dinner from the Middle eastern restaurant last night.
NOT the Paradise Cafe, unfortunately. It won't fit in my luggage.

And a thousand wonderful memories.

Back to my wonderful family today. I hope they haven't self-destructed without me.

Cheers,
Peg
