Streams of consciousness or just a bad case of travel anxiety…

Bought a black velour warm up suit to wear on the  plane, bought a good pair of walking shoes, bought some brown and black socks, went to the ATM and got cash, got my hair cut, washing cloths, making  list how many outfits I will need, bought  new purple sweater set for the trip, realizing that almost everything I have packed is purple, re-formatted all my memory cards, bought batteries, collected all the phone chargers, USB cords and various other cords I will need, paid my mortgage, my house will still be here when I get back, paid the water bill, electric bill, phone bill, wireless bill and the credit card bill and any other utility bill I could find, the DR bill will wait until I get back, just realized that I forgot to buy zip lock bags at the wal-mart, have all my travel size everything laid out on the bathroom sink, set up mobile facebook link with my cell phone so I can update my statues while we are in really cool places, tested my mobile uplink to see if it works, totally amazed that it actually worked, washed some more cloths, …

Pending: balance checkbook, oversee the DD packing, fill my travel pill container with Tylenol and Advil, decide what purse to take, actually see if everything I have laid out will fit in the suit case, print off online coupons for discounts on the wineries we want to visit,drop the DD off at church for Fast Food Frenzy, fill the car up with gas, pick up the DD after Fast Food frenzy, check to see if there is enough dog food, toss all the questionable food in the fridge away, water the plants, empty the trash, turn the thermostat off and then…

This will be my last post for a few days as obviously I have given myself over the the throws of complete travel anxiety.

I will not be posting, commenting or ready any blogs for a while as I will be enjoying myself tremendously in San Francisco and Napa Valley with my husband.

Keep your eyes peeled on your blogroll for the upcoming posts entitled “Myth or Reality: Is Rice-A-Roni…the San Francisco Treat? ” and  “How many wineries can you visit in 24 hours and still remain sober!”

Blessings

Bon Voyage, Robin! Shout out into the streets of San Fran- "Hello Pilgrim! from your mother, Heidi!" He's there somewhere.

Crack me up! Having done many similar things before departing myself (to Europe), I recognize a co-organizer with great appreciation.

Hopefully by the time you got on the plane that anxiety morphed into excitement. I hope it's fun, fabulous and memorable trip!

P.S. Those California wine-drinkers can't possibly hold a candle to those here in Germany. They start mid-morning and keep at it through the late, wee hours. I'm just plain too old!

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...

Project 365 ~ Week 12 ~ It was a Muffinhead kinda week…..

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...
