Extra-crunchy crunch time. I'm working to get stuff done before I go, especially considering I'm gone the next two days. I managed to get my oil changed yesterday, and today wanted to do a couple things before my goddaughter's wedding--bank for gift, and then post office for stamps. Except, coming up Randall Road this afternoon, I saw emergency ( Read more... )

Only two weeks 'til camp ( Read more... )

I'm feeling a bit better about the trip. I spent much of last night packing, finishing about 11:30. I still couldn't fall asleep until after midnight, and I woke up earlier than necessary.

I was very good last night. I finally went through all my camp photos from the past two years, made sure they were all labeled (only one roll, of about fourteen, hadn't yet been completed), and then stuck them in a photo album. In 2003 I'd gone through all my photos from past years and put them into a scrapbook, which I then brought to camp that ( Read more... )

I can't believe I go in two days...I'm so excited. But it also doesn't feel like it should be time for camp. July just sort of disappeared. I blame Harry Potter for that. So, anyway, I'm doing my final preparations--packing, laundry, cleaning my icky dirty shoes. I have one pair of shoes for the hike and they're finally too gross to just put ( Read more... )
