8 days 8 days.
Right now I'm TRYING to pack everything (but tomorrow's clothes), but DS is just not having it.
I'm also trying to figure out how I'm going to wrap some baby shower presents with DS running around, and how STUPID those presents are going to look in the least xmas'y xmas-time paper I have. My friend is watching DS while I go to the shower today (this is the FIRST time he will have been babysat, can I get some hugs?), and I'm borrowing her car, and we're on a timetable so I doubt I could stop at a store then wrap them in proper paper in time.
I personally wouldn't have minded a baby shower present in silver sparkly (with tiny stars) paper, but she might. And if she doesn't, her friends will.
Ooh wait, I could snag a card and call her baby the little superstar...that would tie it in. It would still be pathetically obvious, but at last SOME effort is there.
(I sooooo got SR credits for buying these baby shower presents, by the way)
Anyway, gotta try to get DS to sleep 30 minutes before my friend gets here (which might upset HER, but will make ME happier), gotta wrap the pressies, gotta get myself dressed and hair done (my new haircut has to have something done to it, or it just looks thhhppppttttthhhht...why don't hair stylists get that I want to put Aveda Humectant in it, let it dry, and have that be THAT with my hair?) and makeup on. Do the shower, come home, collapse, pack more, wait for DH to get home, unload junk from car, load car with stuff....wash a few more clothes, wash and dry sheets (from a thread elsewhere I got the concept of having clean sheets for when you get home from vacation and it sounded lovely)....TRY to sleep....get up, GO!!!!!!
Speaking of SR credit. Pretty much the only things we've purchased for this trip have gotten SR credit. We didn't get it for a portable dvd car-charger (radio shack's shipping was too too high and we didn't have the time), DH's new swim trunks (on mega-sale at Penney's to be picked up at a store in the bay area), and food.
Augh, this was so much more do-able when DH was going to work on Monday and we were only getting to Portland that evening. But he got the day off by working on Labor Day, and now our plans are to get to Roseburg, and we want daylight while we do that, so we have to be done with all of this tonight!
