T- minus 20 hours 39 minutes....

Today is crazy.

I have T-minus 21 hours until we leave.


We as in me.


Me, the Queen, Pipe, my friend one L, her sister, and boss/best friend.


We are going to Indiana. Why am I so excited to go to Indiana, in January you ask?


Because there is a quaint little town, with a nice little place we will be taking over from Friday at 4pm, until Sunday afternoon.


We are going to a place where a nice lady will cook and clean for us, then disappear to be with her family all while we crop.


Yes this is my Christmas present from Spaghetti. He is giving me a 3 day, 2 night getaway. I have packed an insane amount of stuff.

2 rolling totes (one is 4 feet tall!) for scrapbook papers, chipboard, mediums, punches, adhesives, and Cricut cartridges.

1 bag for project scrapbooks, scrapbook magazines, my file of ideas, of coarse my Stampin' Up! catalog.

1 carousal of tools

My work mat

1 bag for pictures to scrap

1 bag of stamps
1 bag of more tools, less used. And memorabilia.
1 tote for accessories and journal sheets
1 tote for more accessories and ribbons
1 tote for just solid card stock and mini books to work on
(all the above is packed)

That is not counting the pink tote for candy, and my Starbucks drinks, and coffee. Clothes, and toiletries. (still need to pack clothes)

Still have to clean the house (Spaghetti is supervising the children this weekend) the more that Spaghetti doesn't have to do, the easier 3 days with the kids will be. (he is spending the day Saturday with his mom and dad, cheater!!)

I have been tackling the laundry all week, there are still 4 bags from Thanksgiving to put away, the BIG pack and play is overflowing with clean laundry, and there are 3 baskets in our bedroom to put away. 3 still to wash, AND one in the dryer and one in the washer. Phew.

I just have to unload the dishwasher, and do laundry, otherwise the house is clean.

20 hours and 40 minutes.... and counting...

14 hours of me myself and I.

In two short hours I will be dropping Bagel and Spike off at Gramma and Grampa Mc's house. I then am free until Sunday. Un-freakin-believable. I am elated. I may read like I am stunned. But the fact that my day is here... oh I forget you don't know what I am talking about.

Well instead of blogging I should be organizing, and packing up all my fun supplies for an amazing day and night at the local scrapbook store. They are hosting there first overnight crop!

P.J.'s and all I am headed over around 5 pm, and not leaving (they will feed me!) until 7 am. Yes folks, that is 14, I repeat 14 hours of scrapbooking. I have been motivating myself all week for this. (not like it takes much to motivate me to drop of my monkey children and run to the nearest scrapbook store for 14 glorious hours!)

I have been going through my magazines for layouts, topics, ideas and well I just love to read and reread my scrapbook magazines! Oh the glory of it all! I might even treat myself to a new magazine... oh I am excited. Like NKOTB concert excited... like no kids whining, or dogs barking, or ironing Spaghetti's clothes excited.

I have my pictures all in order by category, in separate little sandwich baggies, I will have coordinating papers, chipboard, accessories and tools all ready. I will pack a small side table for my Cricut machine, snacks, caffeine, a small throw blanket for my chair, and my big comfy slippers.

I am hoping to also get all those cards done for my customers that could not make my World Card Making Day Class on Wednesday, (yes all 72 cards!) I want to actually have pages, yes more then one done tonight too. (usually I go with friends and I MAYBE get 2 pages done, I just love to socialize!!) Not tonight, well maybe a little talking! But after so many hours even I get tired of hearing myself, so I will pack my iPod and work hard!

Sorry again to the Queen, One L, and Pipe for not inviting them. I would get NOTHING done if you were all there with me!

Below is the beloved cup. It's a real plastic insulated cup that I bought at Starbucks, the lid twists on, and the straw is hard plastic. This is my favorite water cup! Must have with me!

So I can not wittle my day away by blogging constantly, I must go pack myself, my kidlets, and enjoy myself! I am hoping to hear from no one. Unless my kids are missing a limp or bleeding profusly, leave me alone! Miss me!
