One of these days I will be prepared for something in advance for a change.

I am now off to find my fondue pot, a blender, and my digital camera. Oh, and the adapter for my videotapes. I did have the laundry done ahead of time--that is a first. Usually I am packing straight from the dryer as we head out the door. I am giddy with the thought of being carefree for 4 whole days. Then on Sunday and Monday, I am still semi-carefree because the kids won't be home. I see a huge nap in my future.
