My Bags Are Packed and I'm Ready to Go

Well, almost. House isn't clean, but it isn't going to be. The Kid has some last minute things to do in the morning, and I have to fill the bird feeders. But I think I've packed everything except toiletries which I'll do in the morning after I shower. And then, we're outta here!

Tomorrow we'll drive to Vermont, picking up elder son at airport midway between here and there. And then the celebrating begins, culminating in a wedding! Lovely Daughter #2 and her fiance will be married on Saturday afternoon, yours truly officiating. And while they are off to honeymoon, the Kid and I are staying in Vermont for 10 days to hang out and relax. My introverted self will need it after 5 days of being with lots of people, many of whom I don't know. I am so looking forward to some time off. We'll spend a few days with LD#1 who will be heading back to S. Korea a week from Thursday after almost 3 months in the states (well, 2 months here and one in South America). And we'll just enjoy summer in VT. The Kid will also be enjoying the World Cup on s-i-l's 50" HDTV--something we certainly don't have here!

I hope to post some pictures after the wedding, but I'm not 100% sure of internet access. My laptop doesn't have a wireless card--yeah I know, but it's 3 1/2 years old, and I'm not putting any money into it, because I'd really like a new one in the next few months.

Always one to procrastinate, I've spent way too much time on the computer today, following GC, responding to email, and blogging. That's probably why the house isn't clean :( I hate getting ready to travel--it makes me very anxious. Maybe that's why I don't travel that much. Once I'm there, it's great...but getting ready, not so much.

Now it's off to bed. I'll be kicking myself for staying up so late when the clock goes off in the morning.
