Post Vacation Hell-Fire

That would be perfect . . . A paid vacation that is.

Vacationing is such a double edged sword.

While you're gone it's relaxing, worries are at a minimum, and responsibility is at an all time low.

And then you come home.

I just got home from vacation. I swear the apocalypse could have happened and there would be less to do. This happens every time I go on vacation. I know it's coming, and yet I'm never prepared for the hell-fire that awaits me upon my return home.

There should be a rule that you can't deal with life until two days after returning from a vacation. A post vacation period, for adjusting to being a functioning member of society again. 

That's all for my rant today. I'm planning on having an actual post up tomorrow :)


What do you guys want to read, any post suggestions?

Craft Night

I know you guys are used to a picture here but the crafts aren't done. So you'll get a picture later. Don't be greedy!

Yesterday was such a great day. My cousin and I spent half the day lounging (this included minor housework, but lots of couchwork) watching some of our favorite movies. As always this was done while sipping, uh, chugging coffee.

The second half of the day was spent in paradise, commonly referred to as Target.

Although we had a screaming baby for some of the time (she was completely inconsolable, so we gave her animal crackers) we had an absolutely fabulous time.

A quick stop at Starbucks and we were ready for the craft store. This stop always takes a real long time for us.

Moral of the story is, we had craft night. When we lived fifteen minutes away from each other, as opposed to the twelve hours that separate us now, we had craft night almost every weekend. It was like we were never apart.

Craft night was what it always had been. It was great to pick up right where we left off.

Do you have any one that you can pick up right where you left off with?

Last Minute Mayhem

I don't know about you, but I wait until the absolute last minute to pack.

Clearly my methods are effective. 

It doesn't matter how long I'll be gone for. One month? Pack the day before. One week? Three hours before I hit the road. 

Procrastination is a fine art and I've perfected it. 

I just throw half my closet in a bag and hope for the best. I've never gone on vacation and left anything behind. If anything it's more like “Why on earth did I pack a wool sweater” when I'm headed to 80 degrees.

Let's be honest though, snacks are the most important part of any trip. Especially road trips. 

Now that I've made a post about it though I'll probably show up down south without a tooth brush or something....



How do you guys pack? Last minute mayhem or prepacked for a week?
