Should I Tell Mickey You Said Hi?

This is it! Today is the day we leave for Disney World. Am I ready? I think so. I have gone over my pack list (yes, I have a packing list) more times that I can count. Am I ready? Nope. It's just me and our two youngest (ages 13 and 8) going with most of my hubby's family. I'm completely bummed beause my hubby and two oldest aren't going with us. Hubby couldn't get off of work. Our oldest, who is 20, needs to work over Spring Break, to pay for those college expenses. And our second oldest (17), just had other things to do. So, I get to be a single parent for 9 days. I hate being a single parent, don't know how other people do it on a regular basis.

Here I am, physically ready to go. I'll put a smile on my face and have a good time. Maybe the plane ride will help me to get mentally prepared. I'll let you know how the trip was when I get back.

I Need to Knit!

Have you noticed my avatar? It is part of an afghan that I knitted for my oldest son. It took 3 to 4 months to complete. My very best friend just felt in love with it. So, I offered to knit one for her. That was a year ago. I'm STILL working on it. There are 80 squares in this afghan. I think I have completed about 46. Each square takes about an hour to knit. So, if I knit a square a day, I could have them all done in a little over a month. So, why can't I make myself do it? I want to get this project done so that I can move onto something else. ARGH! Here is the promise to myself: I will knit at least an hour a day! I'll let you know how I do with it.

Facebook - the new Crack

I have had a Facebook account for about a year. My then 16 year old wanted to have an account and I wanted to be able to monitor it. So, I would look at his account every few days and just make sure that everything was OK. Then something changed. I stumbled across a friend from high school. And then another. And another. And now I am completely addicted. I do a fairly regular stauts "check." I'd hate to miss anything. It's only been more than 20 years since I have seen most of these people, but I sure don't want to miss anything now! Why didn't anyone warn me? If I had know how you can get sucked in, I would have stayed away! Not only am I addicted, so is my husband. He is worse than I am! One day I am going to make a Piece of Flair that says "Facebook Widow." I finally reached the point where I realized that I have a problem. I am worrying about how I will be able to check Facebook while I am in Disney World. Shouldn't I worry about getting ready to go and having fun after we get there?
