Yeesh! There are so many things to do before we hit the road. The biggest one is … duh duh duh Clean the Apartment! Yes, grime and grossness linger in every corner. It's really quite overwhelming. And worst of all, it can't be stopped until Matt decides to STOP BAKING. He's been baking like crazy. I had to go to Walmart last night to find another tin to put all of his (our, really as I help too) culinary creations in. Luckily, Walmart's got tins aplenty … and acheaply too. Tonight ends the baking insanity … because we must clean!
I don't mind having lots to do though. I like to be busy. Not overly busy. Just busy. *bounce* I'm so excited about seeing everyone. We get to see people we haven't seen since May! It's going to be so much fun. 
The only bad part is that the puppy can't come along. But she's going to stay with people who will love her and pet her and feed her an occasional table scrap. I think she'll be OK.
