And Counting

With less than 2 weeks to go before we leave I'm in the ZONE today work-wise. I've accomplished more this morning by 9:30 than I have in a long time. And I know that when this work-mode strikes I'd better take full advantage of it before it tapers off into the I Don't Cares again.

This weekend we made our packing lists, and then started crossing out the stuff we could really do without. We're going extremely light on the carryables, heavy on the cash (should I keep it in my bra or my undies for safety?), and coming back dragging tons of stuff. We picked up our tickets and itineraries on Friday, and they're safely stored with the passports/visas, ready to go.

Caught dad online this morning, just as he was about to press "buy" for my Canon Powershot A95 camera. I found the same model at the mall on Friday - for a thousand bucks more here than there! We're getting a darned good deal... He's also thrown in extra MB's of memory so I can get all happy-snappy on arrival. I can't wait! I'm looking forward to trying out the black & white and sepia options for photos too. There are a couple of old buildings I want to photograph and see how they come out.

It's been a bit of a "spiritual" weekend. Yes, we did church again, but I also took some time to sit, read, think and just be for a bit. Lots percolating in the brain, but it's difficult to write it all down. Oh, and I've found the perfect prayer for following God's will:

"Dear God
WHATEVER
Amen."

What do you think? :)

Another massive cold front moving in. Not as violent as the last one, but likely to bring snow tomorrow, the first of the season. Pity it only sprinkles on the mountaintops here, and doesn't get down to play-in-it level. One day I'd still like for my son to experience a snowy Christmas. I did, in Idaho, and it was wonderful.

Well, this work-mode mood is starting to fade, so I'd better get back to what needs doing before it disappears alltogether!
