All my bags are packed… «

All my bags are packed…

April 10, 2008 by littlespoon

I had just finished saying to my husband that I had taken up exactly “one half” of the suitcase when Harley decided that she was coming with us to Louisiana and jumped into the suitcase. The husband’s retort? “Aaaand now the other half is packed!” (I love how Joker is just looking at her like ‘yeah right, dream on’.)

It’s so weird how animals are able to sense these things! Just so you know, our neighbors will be checking in on the cats since they’re fat asses and normally for a four day trip you could just leave huge bowls of food around the house and the cats would be fine, but I’m afraid my cats would devour it all within the first 30 minutes, hence the neighbors. Ozzy, on the other hand, is headed over to Auntie Kim and Tara’s, where he is sure to have a wonderful time…and possibly a bath?

We’re all packed up and now all we have to do is get through the workday. I am luckily working from home, but the husband is unluckily, currently working his 10th straight day. I hate it when this happens. He works five days a week and gets 2 days off. Normal enough, right? But when we do these long weekend trips he ends up having to take Friday and Saturday off from one week and Sunday and Monday off from the next. Hence, why he’s working his 10th straight day. It blows, but at least now he’s only 10 minutes away instead of the 45 minutes like before.

So we begin our journey to the land of drive-thru daiquiri shops at 6pm. Wish us luck. But especially wish us the luck that I will be able to finish my afghan in time for the reception. :)

I have somehow convinced Margarita to guest post for me on Friday, even though she will be going on a trip herself. To Dubai…which last time I checked is way farther than Louisiana. She’s a trooper I have also conned Each into guest posting for me on Monday. I know that these wonderful, beautiful, and talented women will deliver wonderful posts. And as such you all need to leave them some wonderful and beautiful love.

So, now I am off to finish my workday and then leave for warmer climates. I hope you all have wonderful weekends.

*kisses*

Have fun on your trip!

My cats do that all the time. They’re like, “ooh, this isn’t usually here! I think I’ll sit on/in it!” Seriously, if you put a newspaper on the floor, Raquel will be sitting on it within 5 minutes.

LOL- Harley is so cute. We even mowed the lawn so we wouldn’t lose the silly thing in the grass. Oh and I think I have talked Tara into giving them all bathes this weekend. :-D! And I wish I was taking a lunch today, I’d go visit your hubby. Considering I could walk there and not be winded.

Hmmm, I must think of something witty to write. . .

Warmer climates? What?! It is a whole high of 58 here today?! It is like a heat wave in PA.

Enjoy your trip away this long weekend! Your blog will be here when you get back and you’ll probably be better for it after taking a nice little break!

Safe travels and I hope you finish their present on time.
