My To Do list for the day
| My week is winding down and my vacation is swiftly approaching. I have so much going on, I decided I needed a checklist. Here's how things are going: Stop the mail and newspaper delivery. CHECK. Gather my birth certificate, ID and other documents. CHECK. Mask, snorkel, underwater camera, and other assorted swimming stuff. CHECK. Empty the fridge of perishable foods. CHECK. Hop online to Cruisecritic.com to check the latest updates on the jellyfish stampede at Coco Cay. CHECK. Check weather channel to see hurricanes lining up to run right over my cruise. CHECK. Get plowed into by a mini van while stopped at a crossing guard, while I am on my way to work. CHECK. As you can see, the world appears to have a master plan to either prevent my cruise or to at least ruin it. It Won't Work! I am working in the office on campus today and tomorrow. Gonna stuff myself full of Krystals tomorrow for lunch. Finish packing tomorrow night. Friday, I will be back to the base (at 6am) to teach Hazardous Communications, Twice. At 3pm, I am done and on the highway to Florida. If you listen closely, you'll probably be able to hear me whistle the looney tunes theme song and I drive off into the southern sun. Jennifer has assured me we'll stop by Krystal on the way out of Orlando for late breakfast/early lunch, so I can get my Krystal Kontraband. Since she'll be driving, she wont be allowed to have a Scrambler. I will get one (probably the 4 carb or the original) just to taunt her. She'll probably be having Sunrisers. Which seems appropriate since we'll be driving into the sunrise. In case it hasn't been made clear already, I am half rabid with excitement and it grows a little every minute. By the time I get on board I'm sure to be a raving lunatic. Don't take this the wrong way, but I am certain that when the gangway is liften, I'll have forgotten about about work, Krystals, this blog, car wrecks, and hockey. But on Thursday evening, my mind will wander back to the small and steamy bundles of joy. I am hopeful to have one (slightly old, not very steamy, flattened but still square) as a late evening snack. And I'll be sure to document the event as well. As long as Jennifer isn't laughing to hard to hold the camera. I'll probably get one more short post in tomorrow, but then you'll likely wont see or hear from me for about 10 days. You're probably looking forward to the peace and quite too. It just can't get here fast enough.  |
