Everything has to fit into that red Gator
Wish us luck.

Word of the Day

Potticize - To make wild, harebrained, and utterly unfounded hypotheses about everything.

Everything is under control. I've done all the packing that I can do for today. I'm doing laundry tomorrow so we don't need to pack up too many dirty clothes. I won't pack any dirty clothes...if I follow my plan. Wednesday, Thursday (until we manage to fit a EVERYTHING but our overnight stuff, the cooler, and the dog's stuff into the car), and Friday (until we hit the road) will be the stressful days. After that, I plan to put the car on cruise and enjoy the drive.

In the meantime, HTP has to go pick up his new glasses. I decided to wash my hair in hopes that it'll stay clean until we get to The Lake...like that's going to happen. Not to worry. I packed the shampoo, conditioner, and my travel curlers....just in case my plan fails...or it rains...or it snows. Tonight we're going out to dinner with friends. One last visit to a real Mexican restaurant with decent margaritas.

I've got the cooler all packed...mentally. I know what I plan to put in the cooler. I can't actually pack the cooler until Friday morning. There will be lots of last minute Friday morning stuff to do. Unfortunately, I tend to do a lot of mental packing these days. Even with a To Do List and a Packing List, I can't switch off the mental packing.

FYI-The temperature outside right now is 100 degrees...in the shade.

In terms of being late or not starting at all, then it's never too late.
