I’m Outta Here!

Okay, not quite, but, for blogging purposes, I am. I will not have time tonight or tomorrow morning to do anything other than hope I have a sudden burst of energy so that I can complete everything that needs to be done before we leave.

Thank goodness I’m a mega-list-maker. I think that it’s the only thing which keeps me sane during times like this. Thank goodness I finally found a dress for the wedding last night, too! After visiting several stores, I finally broke down and drove out to the JCPenney store last night. I should have started there, but I’ve always had good luck at Boscov’s in the past (until this time). The first dress I picked up at JCPenney fit. And so did the second and the third. The tough decision was which colors to choose once they all fit. Then I bought shoes and a handbag. The dress was on sale and the shoes were on clearance ($16 for off-white dress shoes!). It doesn’t get much better than that. All I have left to buy are the pantyhose and I’ll pick that up during a WalMart run after work tonight.

Phoebe’s life jacket arrived today and fits well (the first one was too small). She looks so cute; I can’t wait to get a picture of her on the boat so that you can see. She’s such a preppy dog, thanks to her mommy. 😉

I’ll only put in 6 hours today at work because we ran some errands this morning, including shipping out return packages (like Phoebe’s too-small life jacket and the first GSP unit we bought for the boat, which turned out to not have all of the features that we wanted) and picking up a fresh print-out of Phoebe’s rabies vaccination certification from the vet to present at the Canadian border on Thursday.

More errands to do after work. Pick up some odds and ends at WalMart, fill prescriptions at the pharmacy and buy some cards. Terry’s dad’s birthday is Thursday, his grandmother’s is Friday and the wedding is Saturday. Whew! We never figured out what to buy his dad and Nancy (his bride), so I think an IOU will go into the card. 😆

Then, once we finally get home, frozen dinners will get tossed into the microwave to eat, all of the dishes piled up in the sink need to be washed, the dishwasher (clean, fortunately) needs to be unloaded, then reloaded, a couple of loads of laundry need to be done and then I can pack.

Well, anyway, enough of that. I need to get back to work. I’m trying to tie up some loose ends before I leave and, so far, I’ve been fairly successful!

I may not blog while I’m away, depending on whether or not I have a reasonable connection available to me, but I will be thinking of all of you!
