Time

Well roughly 72 hours and counting. Feeling all sorts of emotions about the trip. I'm really looking forward to it - but I'm so anxious, and as each hour goes by - my anxiousness increases. But it's a good anxious - which is a welcome change. The butterflies are definitely having a field day with me! LOL It's been a while since they've been around - forgot how good it felt.

Isn't it funny how when you look forward to something time goes by so slow in anticipation of it? It's the case here as well - yet I feel like the clock is running out fast. Lots to do before I depart. I need to make sure my kids are squared away for their weekend with their dad, and then for the 2 days I'll be gone. Which means that ALL of my laundry needs to be done before I leave - ICK! hehe Told my kids today that I'm going out of town for a couple days - Their response....Can we go too?!?!?! LOL Told them not this trip - I'm sure they're saying to themselves "Mom's not suppose to have fun without us" I do feel guilty that I'm doing something without them - but I need some time for me. And my girlfriend who's watching them for me will make it a fun time for them - as always. They'll be saying "Mom who" hehe

Had my car checked out for the trip. Oil change, tire pressure checked, and all the fluids that keep the thing running. All looks good. I know, exciting day for me hehe Normally, I would wait until the last possible moment to take care of something like that - but I got it out of the way - feels good.


I can't wait to take a bite out of that New York Pretzel with LOTS of mustard! I know it's silly - but sometimes the littlest things mean so much. I look forward to alot of things on this trip. As anxious as I am - it's such an awesome feeling - one I wouldn't trade for anything.

Funny....looking back a month ago - New York was not on the list of places I was considering going. One of the placse I was considering was Florida - My friends leave tomorrow morning for the week of R&R. I said my goodbyes today. Asked that they toast the rest of us poor slobs they're leaving behind. They assured me that would be the case. As corny as it is - it means alot. I'm also getting a little sand and some shells brought back to me - Just a little piece of heaven. Can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can hit the beach up here. I miss being able to go whenever I feel like it (when I lived in Florida). Oh well, it's all good - I'm definitely happy with the selection I've made for my getaway - no where else I'd rather go.
