I can't wait either... It will be my vacation to recover from vacation since I'm on vacation this week. I will only be working 2 days (next Monday and Tuesday) out of 2 weeks at my main job.

That's interesting. I will be taking a mini vacation AFTER NC to Orlando with my family. Sometimes you need a vacation after the vacation right?

By the end of the work day on Monday, I probably will feel like I haven't even been on vacation because of all the catch up stuff I will have to do.

I can't wait!! I hate all my clothes! lol Maybe a new top and sandels will help my mood!
 
Yeah, I just went shopping last week w/ my sister. CJBanks was great. Nice quality stuff and I got everything on sale. I felt so happy. I also bought 2 new pairs of sandals from some department stores. They felt comfortable and not too hideous. lol Now I'm all set in those areas. Now to go to Walmart and pick up toiletries and snacks. :) I'm so excited! :D
 
This is sad, I'm hoping my son looses his Allstar games so I won't miss him playing while I"m gone. But I can't wait to get on the plane and head out of dodge.
 
I went fishing this morning in our new boat since I had the day off. I am so happy! Only 5 days left for me and the giddy girls!

You know the nice thing about packing for NC is that I don't have to pack for my DH or my 2 boys :D:D:D it's all about me!
 
Ah, packing.... in my free time that is severely lacking....

I worked the street fair in town all weekend (and earned a little cash for the trip, too! ;))

Tomorrow morning, I leave here at 7am to return at about 6pm... Tuesday morning I leave at 7am to return, hopefully earlier, after interviewing to hire new managers (why must people quit just a week before I leave town? Couldn't they wait til I return? lol)... I'll need to leave home by 5am Wednesday morning so I can be at work early and not take as much time off... my flight leaves at 5:30pm Wed....

Not really sure when I'll find time to pack.... or do the laundry that will be necessary in order to get the packing done.....

Ah well... I'll get it done... I always do.... lol
 
Managed to drag the suitcase downstairs this evening. After a couple of hours of frantic searching found my cheffer button, so I'm good to go!
 
When i go to leadership i ship home my dirty laundry and bring home my paperwork.
