Don't you hate those weeks when it seems like EVERYTHING is happening? Well this has been one of those weeks. First, work has been crazy as I prep for month-end reporting. I'm trying to get a leg up on my work schedule before my up-coming trips. Yesterday I worked half a day and after work I took the van in for a transmission tune-up and an oil change. I'm getting the van ready for next week's drive to Wisconsin Dells. Last night I attended a Gay Pride festival. The main reason I was there was because this was the only free time I will have this Pride Weekend. So I meet up with friends and we saw Deborah Cox perform a small concert. It was actually a nice night to be out and about with friends, enjoying the evening air. Deborah Cox was very good. Here is a video clip of Cox singing her big hit:
Today I got up early, had some breakfast at a cool diner I go to often. I got a quick hair cut. More like a trim. Then I had to get some greeting cards at the Hallmark at the nearby mall. Then I rushed home to get ready to attend a family BBQ. My cousin's son graduated grade school, so of course a party is in order. I ate too many tacos!! LOL!!!
Tomorrow I have a family breakfast to attend. Later on in the afternoon there's a family 50th anniversary luncheon. This of course will be followed by coffee and cake at the home of the Golden Anniversary couple. And because there is visiting relatives, on Monday I will take the day off from work and I will assume the role of Tour Guide to show people around the great city of Chicago. Whew!!! So I am barely typing all this up, in the midst of all this activity. So this is the only time I have had to think anything about my Disney trip. I just keep saying to myself, "Its getting closer, Its getting closer!"
Next week will be the same. Four days of work, followed by a three day weekend trip to Wisconsin Dells for the July 4th holiday. My Mom will go gambling at the casino, I will go outlet mall shopping, my Sister and her kids will go swimming. A win-win for all.
That will be followed by an intense work schedule before the Disney trip. Everything has to be DONE by July 15th. Oh yea, a friend is havin a cocktail party for his birthday on the 15th!!! REALLY?!?
Somehow, sometime, somewhere I gotta do all my final packing and planning for Disney. Actually I ran into Costco today and I saw an awesome duffel-bag on wheels. For $40 in various colors. I almost got it, but I have plenty of luggage. In all sizes and colors!!!
So for right now, I'm just resting and taking it easy before tomorrow's madness takes place. Because you know at EVERY family gathering some madness ALWAYS happens. So we'll see what happens tomorrow.
Ok, time for sleep and Zzzzz's. Maybe I'll dream of electric sheep. Maybe I'll dream of sugar plums and lolli-pops. Maybe I'll dream of a place where Dreams Do Come True. Oh Wait. That place DOES EXIST!!!
