At long last!!

I'm going camping! It's been, what, two years? ...Yes. Two years since my last real camping trip, and that was even only over night. This time, my entire family (minus my sister on a mission in New York) will be on vacation in Northern Idaho for an entire week.

I am uber excited! A week without work; without stress; without horrendous traffic; barking dogs; polite sirens. A whole week of true wilderness sounds intead. And, as an added bonus, an entire week of EVERYONE in my family reading Harry Potter 7. It will truly be paradise.

Now, the only things I have to do before leaving are:

1. Clean the apartment (so I don't loathe coming back so much).
2. Pack lightly but effectively (and find a way to bring a computer for writing with, somehow...)
3. Leave my turtle enough to eat for a week.
4. Buy both my parents birthday presents.
5. Pick up Harry Potter 7.

Not too bad a list. Paying bills would be up there, but I didn't procrastinate and actually paid them on time. How's that for productive? Oh yeah. Last, but most important on the list:

6. Survive one final day of work this week.

I can do this.

'Cept maybe bring the computer. But I'll still write in my novel next week, somehow.
