Countdown

In exactly one month, (and counting!), I will officially be in my new pad!! I am so excited! I have so much to do, and yet I really haven't done anything besides pack a few boxes. However, I have organized my moving crew, two friends whom I DID NOT bully or threaten in the least to help me...and myself. I think between the three of us, we can manage to move my bed and the few pieces of furniture that I am keeping, to the apartment. Then there is the matter of all the boxes of clothing that I have. I'm sure that between the two of us, Tiana has more clothing then I do. Such a clotheshorse! And she buys things in "small" to ensure that I will have a difficult time fitting the "ladies" in them, thus denying my opportunity to wear them. Sneaky little stinker!

Oh yes, and 12 days until my birthday. Not too stoked about that, seeing as how the only thing I have to look forward to is more gravity!! Getting older SUUUCKS...

For my birthday weekend, Madalene suggested that we go camping in the Santa Cruz mountains. I have only been camping once..and it was horrid! There were bugs everywhere, the temperature was always in the 80's by the time it was daylight (all time high that weekend was 118!!), and there were NO OUTLETS!! Plus, I had my first ever encounter with a porta-potty (shudder). Word of advice, don't look down the hole (those are NOT tree roots!) and for god sakes, bring hand sanitizer, lots of it!!

Traumatic experience aside, I agreed to go camping...mainly because if I couldn't stand it, I could just hop in my car and be home in an hour! Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who have the same idea and all of the ideal places are booked. Hmmm...was it a sign? God's birthday gift to me? So, I may just spend my big day cleaning my room up and packing some more.

Someone once told me that your 30's are the best years in life....I will reserve judgment on that for now!
