There is a reason why I'm such a slacker

And that reason is called I'm Going on Vacation, Madame!

I leave tomorrow morning and will get back on Monday. I have been a crazy person this week. Turns out that taking time off work around here is serious business--especially when I have about 6 projects going at once.

I'm going to visit the lovely Singin' in the Rain, whom I love dearly. She lives in beautiful Port Orchard, Washington, and tickets were a steal, so I couldn't pass it up. The only sad part is that it means I'm not visiting Lady Steed this month like we'd talked about doing over Memorial Day before everyone bailed. Sigh . . .

I told Singin' that there are only two things I simply must do: I need to go to Trader Joe's and fill my suitcase full enough to be used as an anvil or other dropping-type weapon (am bring like 3 items of clothing so that there's plenty of room). I also need to go to Pike's Place and eat these people's clam chowder, because Oh My Gosh. I would bathe in that stuff and lick it off my own dang body, that's how good it is. And if Ioan wants to join in then that's fine too.

After that it's all up to her because she is pretty much the best hostesses I've ever met. And so is her mom, and so are her sisters. They're all fabulous and I can't wait to go play with them! I'm so excited to see what she has in mind for us to do. Also she's 8 months pregnant and I can't wait to see her cute pregnant self and to meet her husband, who I am assured exists even though I've never met him. Of course, if he doesn't exist then I'll still give her the darling baby gifts I bought for her, because even a poor fatherless child needs presents.

What can I say? I'm a giver.
