Creeping Closer

*insane giggle*

It's getting closer and closer. Yum. All of this preparation and anticipation is a big part of any Disney trip for me. If I didn't have to worry about the damn airport security, this would be stress-free and pure pleasure for me. As my girls would say, this is my Christmas.

The Chum is actually leaving NJ one week from today and will spend a few days with her mother in south Florida before driving up to join us on the 7th. So I've got to talk to her this week and make the final meeting up plans. These shouldn't be hard, as we're just meeting at the hotel, but she has to drop off a rental car first, and has never been to DW, so I'm guessing it may be a little overwhelming for her.

I had a lovely facial yesterday, but that meant no make up all day, and my hair was a mess since I hadn't bothered, due to the rain. Then last night I put an oil treatment on my hair, so that looked just lovely. It feels so good now to be out of the shower with clean, dry, neat hair and my make up on! Is this really me? Ah, indeed. Anyway, I feel like I'm fit for human company, finally, so K and I are going to saddle up and head west, picking up R and then going to Target (of course) and for some lunch. She also wants us to come in and see how she's re-arranged a bit. And then K and I have to go food shopping.

Why do I wake up on Sunday morning and my first thought is: Oh, I have to go to work tomorrow? That's a real glass-half-empty kind of thing, isn't it? And I'm not generally a half-empty sort of person.

Did I mention that someone else from school will actually be at DW while we're there? Long story, but basically this girl is dating someone who's a restaurant manager at one of the parks (which is where she met him); she's even leaving from the same little airport we are, but several hours later in the day. We listened at lunch one day to the story of how she met this guy and was going to see him, etc., and were quiet, because we thought it would be fun to run into her there and surprise her, but she scoped us out and knows we're going, too. It's becoming a less well-kept secret by the day, but it's not like we're lying or anything or calling in sick, because we took the day off as a personal day. Even so, we didn't want anyone -- or one specific person -- to try and horn in, and it's too late for that now anyway, so I guess we're safe.

... and ... we're back.

All done, Target, lunch, supermarket, and even my floors this morning. Now I'm ready to settle in for the rest of the Law and Order marathon. If I'm smart, I'll give a moment's thought to what I'm wearing tomorrow, but as the seasons seem actually to have finally changed, it may take more than a moment (which is why I should do it tonight and not tomorrow.) My sweaters are not inaccessible, but they're not right out there, either, except for a few. Today was just a beautiful fall day, cool and windy, but clear and bright. We appear to have skipped over the 70s and 60s this year; two weeks ago tomorrow it was nearly 90, and now we're pretty solid in the 50s, which is where we should be, however.

Time to relax.
