The countdown continues

We're finally less than a week away from our long-awaited appointment with "The Mouse" which means that my months of obsessive planning and list-making will soon come to an end *sigh.* What can I say, this girl needs a hobby.

Unfortunately, I seem to have tweaked my back something major. I've had a nagging little pain for the last three weeks or so and it's blossomed into a full-on assault. I'm not sure if the hiking this weekend triggered it or if it was caused by something as mundane as lifting the laundry basket, but it's here now and screaming with a vengeance.

Something always seems to happen to us before vacation. Case in point: I got laid off the day before our wedding/honeymoon back in '98. Chris found out his company was closing down before our Mexican vacation about 5 years ago. Other various little things have happened as well so I guess this is the "thing" this year. Luckily, since I'm uber-obsessively organized, I'm pretty much ready for the trip. I have all of my clothes laid out on the air hockey table in Chris's office and I think everyone has their summer clothes ready to be packed. The hard part for me will be taking it easy for the next few days. I'm not much of a take-it-easy sort of person, however I am awaiting a book delivery from Amazon and I just bought the new Coldplay disc, so I think I'll be pretty prepared to chill today.

The icepack on my back also helps with the "chill" factor :)

Yay! Vacation! Need.

I hope your back feels better! I'm sure you'll be fine by vacation but you're on bed rest until then :)

Oh man, I bet you're excited. Who is more excited - you or Cole?

Which Evanovich book did you get?
