JACKRABBIT!!

I think I'm leaving today (maybe tomorrow depends on GF) for father's timeshare. I managed an extra week through one of his friends so I get to stay a week with GF and a week with sister. Gotta love greenie's free vacations, doncha?

So I'm having packing angst. I can see why I never packed sober. I have the angst, but at least I'll know what is in my suitcase. No computer, so you'll have to pine for me for 2 weeks. :H

Everyone be well!

Greenie - be thankful to pack sober, the no. of times i have packed drunk is scary, always thought I deserved to have a bottle of wine or two to get me in the holiday mood. I have arrived many places with no underwear and once no shoes!!!

Ab fabbers!

Greenie, I have the perfect packing formula! Make a list of everything you need, including the clothes you will wear to travel in. Then, on the day of packing, just go around collecting everything on the list and throwing it in a bag. Takes about five minutes. No deviation allowed. If it's not on the list, it's not going in the bag. My lists always start: "Passport, tickets, money..." and as long as I've got those it doesn't matter if I forget some minor thing.
(Works drunk too! Not that I'd recommend that course of action, obviously:no: ).

The heat is off. Leaving tomorrow. Which is fine as there are some loose ends I would do well to attend to. Unfortunately, I ate all my food. :H

Congratulations Chillgirl on 4 months!! Did somebody start a cheering thread yet? If not, I will do so!!!

Wow all this talk of vacationing is making me mighty jealous! OH I can relate to the drunk packing and then who knows what is there / missing when the destination is reached. Marshy, it sounds like you have packing down to a science, whether it's drunk packing or sober packing! :H

Greenie have an awesome time. (packing AND vacationing!)

You too Chillgirl! HEY! You are gonna be seeing the :h yes??? We want details.

Lav have fun on your outing with DD today!

Now that I am sober I am such a planner. I try not to think too far ahead but I generally give thought to the next days activities and get everything lined up. Sometimes shit happens. And I don't tend to deal with that very well. And yet it's out of my control and I need to learn not to let these changes and happenings rattle me so much. The battery was dead in one of our vehicles this morning. It's Mr. Doggy's dog training day so I'm the one whose plans got disrupted. 1) It's not his fault - it's not as though he planned and plotted for the battery to be dead. 2) He works his ASS off all week - I have far more flexibility. He deserves to have priority treatment if we only have one car so he can do the one thing he always wants to do for HIM each week - go to dog training. 3) My day will work out just fine. It's not like I was scheduled to bring peace to the middle east or anything like that.

I'm such a jerk sometimes. But I'm getting over it.

There will be no drinking that is for sure! And no donuts either!

1. We admitted we were powerless over packing - that our travelling had become unmanageable...

I turned it over to God, but he hasn't made much progress.

It took me a long time to figure out he doesn't actually do the work FOR me. He's not the servant. Too bad about me. :H:H

LOL Marshy!
