leaving on a... well, no, not a jet plane

Okay! I have five books of significant size, my mp3 player is stuffed with new music, my CDs are all packed with the CD player (and extra batteries for it *and* the mp3 player!), clothes for various possible weather conditions (*crosses fingers*), sunscreen, band-aids, an ace bandage (for my chronically bad wrist), a thing of pretzels for the ride, a deck of cards, my sketchbook/journal.... Yup. I'm going on vacation. *G*

I'm outta here as of tomorrow morning at sometime around nine (my ride is notorious for being somewhat late, but just since I said that they'll be on time this time), and will be back at some point on Saturday, supposedly. If I'm not back (and whining about being stuck in the computer lab for work again) by Monday... send out the coast guard. ;)

Much love and hugs and kisses to all of you - hopefully I'll have some amusing stories to tell (and to hear from all of you!) when I get back!
