the last post found me beginning my winter break travels. i managed to pack what i thought i needed into two major suitcases, load my car, and make my way home south.
so this post...finds me re-packing - though a lighter load this time - getting ready to head north. Today I did all the things I absolutely loathe to do. had the oil changed in the suburban, got the inspection sticker, had it washed, gased it up, and am packing!
well attempting to pack. i'm listening to Sheryl Crow's Motivation in hopes that it might generate some real motivation so i can finish packing. the last bit that i need to do is the toiletry bag. i decided to not take the whole bag of stuff. so i have some smaller travel sizes of the stuff i use on a regular basis. there are things you just shouldnt leave home without. a toothbrush is one of them...and chones would be another...but i digress.
today was crazy insane with errands. i think i'm mostly packed now. (I took a slight break to finish up). i also probably have more clothing than i really need. and i hear its supposed to be super cold....
just gotta say i'm looking forward to reading books to my nephews and drinking hot chocolate and making smores...(activities planned during Laura's week of day care). so excited...you dont even know!
had a bday dinner to celebrate my dad's bday. technically its tomorrow and according to our news station he turns five. yeah i know, dont ask! so we got the family friends together for a meal and as always good company! these folks are like family to me - been there to support my parents through a number of situations and i've watched my parents do the same for them. so it was cool to celebrate with them. though my carrot cake turned out to be strawberry so i have to call the bakery tomorrow while i'm on the road! seriously....
alright so random but just had to post this...my friend just said to me, "my computer is like stupid boys!"
i gotta say that some old friends from my past have re-surfaced in my life in recent weeks. its been so sweet and amazing. so glad to have them back and it feels like old days....i can only say that that must be what unconditional love is...its beautiful and amazing and makes me grateful.
i'm partially delirious...going to sleep...an 18 hr trip ahead!
