don't be fooled

so.  tomorrow is monday and i have just a few more days to get my act together and fly away.

i have a lot of packing to do this week.  a lot.  i won't go into the long drawn out details, but it is gi-normous.

i have some shopping to do for some supplies, a house to clean, some more photocopying to do, some emails to write, pack my office, pack my clothes, welcome my house-sitter, make some phone calls, talk to my students, go to the bank, pay some bills, write some checks, move my dog, buy supplies for the cats and all in all, lose my mind.  oh, and the laundry has to be done too.

i must admit though, i am looking forward to getting to europe so i can be in a massive state of caffeine overload and all around shopping bliss.  mamma needs new shoes and i am getting me some new shoes if i have to kill an animal and skin its hide to be places on my precious feet.  there's an image.

off to bed.  while you are thinking of the wonderful bbq for tomorrow, i will be packing and running around.  thank god this is america and things don't close completely down for holidays.  i gots stuff to do.
