Well, we’re off to the lake to spend a week suntanning, swimming, laughing, eating, fishing and reading.  Been for my massage.  Got my toes painted (‘Catherine of Grape’…giggling).  Purchased 65 bags of chips to everyone’s specifications.  More treats than we’ll ever need.  In fact, we don’t need to bring actual food for lunches because likely no one will be hungry : )  I have about 8 books packed, though I’ll probably only get through about 2.  I broke down and bought “Twilight” by Stephanie Meyer.  Peer pressure if you will.  I saw people talking about it and was like “what’s all the hype about?” and bought it.  I’ve spent about $50 on decorating and design magazines which in turn will add up to thousands of dollars worth of brilliant ideas for us to incorporate in a future house : )

All I need is my bathing suit and sunscreen and I’m GOOD TO GO!!!  Too bad that’s not all we are taking.  My poor little Saturn is going to be exploding at the seams and we’ll have to send a bunch of stuff in my parents’ truck.  But I refuse to get a van!  Why?  Who knows.  Just something to be stubborn about.

And I haven’t actually started packing, just piling.  So why am I sitting here blogging when I should be getting ready (should have started 2 days ago)?  I’m the procrastinator of the century.  Why do now what I can do at midnight?  Hee, hee.

Well, happy week bloggy friends.  Don’t forget about me.

P.s.  Here are a couple pictures I took of the “lake” our house backs onto.  I’ve been just LOVING Picnik and playing with every picture I take.  And ya’ll made me feel so good after I shared the last pictures that I’m being brave.  I just thought these turned out nice…
