Vacation?

I love vacations. I LIVE for vacations. However, the few days leading up to a vacation are some of the most difficult, most stressful days ever. There is always a million and three things to get done and all I can really think about is how much fun next week will be, but I have to focus and get those things done. Whew!

The good news is that I'm making headway.

I've figured out the perfect outfit for the wedding we'll be attending this weekend. After searching high and low for the right necklace to accompany said outfit. I thought I would find it, but I didn't. So instead, I went to the craft section at WalMart and bought up some beads to make my own. It's completed and I dare say it looks great. I'm a little worried that it will break and I'll lose millions of tiny beads all down the front of my dress mid-wedding, but I shall manage and carry on.

I've also gone to the library to get books to keep me entertained through Kansas, bought up the entire stock of Pets Supplies "Plus" to keep Indy entertained through Kansas and burned a few CDs to keep Matt entertained. I've worked on a few posts to be published next week*. I have done laundry. I have gotten things pretty much squared away at work. I have made arrangements for the care of my plants. I still need to pack.

Come tomorrow morning, I'll likely look like a chicken with my head cut off getting everything packed up in the car. The good news is that I've made a list of everything we need to bring. Yes, the list of Indy's stuff is longer than Matt's and my lists combined. So what?

Even though the few days leading up to a vacation are tough, they are absolutely worth it. A hundred times over. I love vacations that much.


*And accidentally got a little too eager at publishing one. The situation has been remedied, but y'all using GR already know what's up next week.
