Aw, phooey!

So last weekend, as I was starting to prepare to go on vacation, I thought, "Oh, it's almost August! That means it's almost time for me to open the last package I have from my secret pal!" (You may recall that in early June my SP8 sent me a big package, which included, among other goodies, two smaller bundles to be opened in July and August.)

Trip preparation--especially with a fifteen-month-old--always leaves me a little fried. I worry that I'll forget to bring something essential or forget to leave enough food out for the cats or forget to have my mail held by the post office or forget one of a million other things. Amazingly, when we got to Vermont I found that I had pretty much remembered to bring and take care of everything I needed...except that last package from my SP8. Yup, it's sitting on my desk right where I left it. So now I have to wait until I'm home again before I can open it. D'oh!
