need a vacation from vacation planning

On Saturday, the Slackers are headed to the beach! The sand, the sun, the surf...a week of relaxation...it's going to be great! *If* I can survive the week preceding it! 'Cause this week is all about the packing lists, the packing, the getting all my work done so I can take the vacation.

It certainly doesn't help that a certain someone turns *5* while we are at the beach. So gifts have to be purchased before we leave. Which means we have to figure out what the heck to get her before we purchase them. I am dead serious when I considered getting her ears pierced just to avoid having to buy a gift.

So, if I'm not around much this week, it's because I'm running around like a crazed woman. And, if I'm not around much next week, it's because I'm sandy...and suntanned...and drunk.

As someone watching the ocean as I type, trust me, it will ALL be worth it! I was in your place a week ago, minus the b-day.

Best of luck. I'll be thinking of you - and the birthday girl. Give Sweet Magnolia a hug from me!
