Want to know why?
Too bad, I'm going to tell you anyway. I know that you live vicariously through me ..... or are super-glad that you don't have my life. :)
Whatever the reason .... I hope that I can make you feel good for a moment or two.
Ok
And it will be great to just hang with the 5 of them.
The next weekend I am going to Canton for what is appearing to be the annual trip for a group of my sorority sisters. We did it last year, for the first time, and had a huge blast. I love those women. Very much.
I return from that trip on that Sunday and then leave for Alaska on Tuesday to go
I return home the following Sunday and then leave the next Saturday for a cruise with my mom and 6 other friends. We're visiting Greece, Croatia and Italy. I think there's another spot in there somewhere, but it's closing in on midnight here so I can't remember much (I can't remember much at any other time of the day, either, but that sounded like a good excuse).
I return a little over a week later, on Daughter #2 and #3's birthday, and watch Son #2 graduate 4 days later.
Six days after his graduation I will be having surgery on my shoulder, which will put me out of commission .... or more importantly .... out of tennis, for 12 weeks. I won't be able to use my right arm (which will be in a sling) for quite a while, which basically means that I will just stay in bed and whimper (I'm told to expect a lot of pain) because I am totally inept at using my left hand for ANYTHING!!! Really. It's rather pathetic.
But I digress from the most important impact. NO TENNIS??????
I.
Will.
Go.
Insane.
And get horribly fat.
Sigh .....
One week after the surgery I will be heading to Kentucky with D#2 and D#3 for a Christian Women's conference. It sounds like a lot of fun .... and should be even MORE fun if I'm loaded up on pain killers.
:)
The very next weekend I'm heading to Destin to celebrate my birthday with a couple of friends. Even though I will be there on my birthday ..... this is supposed to be a celebration for my LAST birthday.
I have weird friends.
:)
Then .... I think that I'll be done. At least for a month or so.
No, I have not thought about packing.
At all.
Yes, I think I am in denial.
I don't want to think about all of that today.
I'll think about it tomorrow (or the tomorrow after that, or the one after that one).
After all ..... (say it with me) .... tomorrow is another day.

I guess in one way Janine, you are so busy that you won't have time to think! And with our lives, thinking is a bad thing!! BUT, you are right, I do not want your life, it is wayyyyyy to busy for me. I need down time. Enjoy your weekends and your trips!! Hugs to you, Lorry
LOL, Lorry ... that may be true. It is difficult to think about things when there's so much going on. I, too, need down time, but know that there will be times in my life when I'm not going to get it on a regular basis for a while. I guess that makes it all the more wonderful when I finally do get it. :)
Thanks .... I know I'll have a great time with everything that's going to be happening ..... well, except for the surgery, but I'm looking forward to all of it. Even if I can't even begin to think about packing! Take care, my friend! xoxo
Sounds like you and I have about the same busy schedule. Let's see, for the next ten days until you get here I have to finish packing the camper and my truck for the move, since I won't be able to after back surgery. About two weeks after surgery, while still recovering, the movers will be here and that will take 3-4 days. A few days later I have to get Kathy's car ready and get it shipped out on a boat to go to Florida. Directly after that I will be out-processing the Air Force for about two weeks. A week after that Dad arrives. We will go halibut fishing one last time and a few days later head to Mexico for our trip. Two days after I get back from Mexico I will be heading out on my two week trek across Alaska, Canada and the United States headed for Florida.
Gonna be a busy summer! I guess after I get to Florida I need to find a job too...naaaa!!! (Kidding Kath)
But hey, if we had too much idle time, our minds would go nuts! Grateful just to be able to do all of this!! Love ya and can't wait to see you!
Little Bro
I liked your quote, "Scarlett"! Glad I was seated while reading this post, because now I am exhausted just mentally logging YOUR activities. Still, MOST of that sounds like fun (okay - the surgery and aftermath, not so much) and filled with family and friends and FUN! Enjoy -- wish I was having even a fraction of your activity and adventure!
You are very busy! But consider yourself very lucky you can travel so much. I haven't left the state in two years and haven't left the country since 2007. And this is a person that LOVES to travel. With a toddler and one income all these things are unrealistic. But I look forward to when the kids are grown up and we can travel like you, hopefully! :)
