This is going to be a boring post, so feel free to skip it! It's just a to-do list for my own sake. And I feel the need to publish the insanity that is me before a vacation.
- Dust
- Vacuum, especially by the cat box
- Clean the kitchen floors
- Clean the bathroom
- Hang new shower curtain liner (buy it first!) and wash shower curtain
- Do all laundry and put away
- Plant new flowers outside
- Set up composter
- Clean up dirt that Boom Boom spilled on the back porch
- Water all plants
- Pack (games, DVDs, knitting, books--fun and school, laptop, cell charger, IPod charger)
- Hem pants
- If have time, file paperwork in office
No wonder I need a vacation!

Bug, why do you want to plant new flowers outside just before you leave?
LOL TI. I have this transplant that needs to get in the ground. And a friend will come by and water it. :)
Ummm. When do you leave?? ;)
Have you thought of channeling some of this behavior into one of your characters???
I think the idea of someone buying and hanging a new shower curtain before going on vacation is hysterical.
I should hire you over here...I don't think I've changed the shower curtain since Clinton's presidency--his first term.
;)
I chuckled about the shower curtain too. My going away to-do list is just to have the house reasonably "tidy" (forget clean) so that I don't feel stressed as soon as I walk in the door. Though you wouldn't know it by my office, clutter stresses me out big time.
It's such a pain rushing trying to get it all done before you leave, but it is so nice to come home and have it be DONE, isn't it?
Have a great time on your vacation!
You're going to plant flowers before you go? I have flowers I bought in May that blooming, still in their original containers. (So sad.)
Enjoy your vacation!
LOL. Thanks, ladies, for putting me in perspective. I think I will amend my list to not include planting the flowers. The shower curtain, though, that's non-negotiable. :) Oh, and I forgot to put paying bills and getting Chloe her flea protection on there.
And in case you're wondering, Brian will be doing chunks of this list, too. :) He didn't marry an idiot!
Where are you off to and will you be off-line? TI
We're going to Maine--Acadia Nat'l Park to be specific. I am SO looking forward to biking, hiking, and swimming all day! And reading a lot. I have to bring my computer because I need to work on my submission, so I'll probably be checking in on my blog from time to time. But I won't be checking email. That's one rule I have for myself--no email on vacation!
have a great trip! TI
