***Singing South Park Theme***

Oh Boy ! Kyle and I are getting ready to jet off to AZ Monday morning....Miss Anal-Retentive here has 99% of our stuff all ready to go. I'd probably try to pack Kyle if he just held still long enough !

I will miss our rat children, but they will be with 'grandma' for the week and will weigh ten pounds each when we get back, I'm sure. Doesn't matter what species it is, go to Grandma's house and she stuffs you with food.

We are staying in Scottsdale and I rented a car, so we will be all over the place. It was 100 degress out there today and about 50 here. ACK!

I probably won't be posting again until next week, and I will miss eveyone !

Love,

Amy

It's me! I may have a chance to be online here and there, but 24 hours from now we will be in Philly waiting for the connecting flight....

We are being picked up at 5:00 tomorrow morning by a friend who drove me to the airport last year (police chief of my town; good friend. God knows the one I work for wouldn't do it if I paid him!)All he wants in return is another Hooters t shirt.

I can't believe we have everything in ONE suitcase - benefit of losing weight,maybe?

Let's see..what is left to do today before we go...

Drop off furbabies at Grandma's (little sh*ts are still sleeping ! They should be up and begging for something as usual)

One or two loads of laundry

Vacuum

Water plants/put on kitchen table by window

General straightening up (what's new...that is a constant, living with Kyle)

Go to Walmart for some stuff. OF COURSE.

Go for a walk to the cafe up the street forlunch

Cook dinner

Call Mom for the umpteenth time....(MA! We're gonna be FINE!! I've done this BEFORE!

BY MYSELF!)

(I have to say, I have done EVERYTHING as far as planning, organizing, reserving, confirming, packing, arranging to and from airport....It's NOT that I don't trust Kyle, but he has had ZERO experience with this stuff, and expressed his relief that I was taking control of this whole adventure because he actually admitted I was far more competent than him at this kind of stuff than he. But I know he secretly thinks that if I get to do it 'my' way, I'll be happy and he's free of major reponsibility.*he's right!* He LOVES when I 'get going' on the phone and take care of stuff and not back down. He thinks it's 'cute', in a sexy way, not sexist. Which is a good thing 'cause I'd kick his ass.)

Thanks, babe! I will soak up that sun, darnit...I tried on a STRING BIKINI yesterday....and it wasn't so bad....still didn't buy it. Walmatr has poor quality suits and although it was cute, I wasn't thrilled.

As you can see by my post, we are in the middle of showering and getting it together...

Kiss Dexter/Daisy/Lucy for me !

Well, I don't really know you, but might I say, before you get here, welcome to sunny Arizona. And you're right, it's darned hot here. It's so weird to me that people actually want to come visit during the heat, but since I don't live in the cold weather, I just don't get it.

I hope you have a great time here and a relaxing vacation.

Hope you're having fun!

It always amazes me too that people want to come here in the summer. It was 97 degrees today where we are so it was probably even a little warmer in the Phoenix area.

Stay cool! ANd drink LOTS of H2O.
