1 day left...and I still

haven't packed my suitcases. I am a little scared that what I need to take up with me won't fit...so why face that sad reality now? I'd rather not go there just yet.



I did shipped these bad boys up w/ the essentials, you know, Mac&Cheese, PopTarts, granola, flour tortillas,refried beans...stuff that'll bring a little bit of comfort when I am two weeks in and my food/ tubs have yet to arrive.

35 lbs. for $41.00..and it should arrive this Thursday. I'm not holding my breath.

But I'd rather be doing this:


or this:





My nephew and I have a love/hate relationship right now. I love him even though he screams and runs in the opposite direction whenever I come around.



I think I am standing 5 feet away from him- 5 ft. perimeter seems to do the trick.



or this:



At least Raymond ( nephew ) loves me enough to be silly with me:)

or this:



So many wonderful opportunities to meet with good friends, read good books, and drink good coffee.
