I am leaving on vacation tomorrow and need to work my butt off today to get ready. First of all, I need to mail the May Bucket prizes.
I should be kicking up my heels with excitement over my vacation, but I am more worried about being ready to go.
I have a baby shower gift and a sign to paint and ebay boxes to pack and a magazine article synopsis to write and send off too. Did I mention that I have 2 painting jobs that need bids and a garden to plant and sprinklers to set up and PACKING before I leave tomorrow too????
Here is one thing that needs mailed today. I chose a 2nd place gift for Michelle Ward for the May Bucket drawing. Her style isn’t as pretty-foo-foo as mine, so I made her a special gift, something a little funkier. This necklace is made from an old piece of hardware I picked up at the flea market a couple weeks ago. I love the old green paint clinging to it.
Well, I should be starting on my mile long list for getting ready for my trip. I am such a homebody, I hate to travel or think about leaving. I miss my flowers, my pretty house, my wonderful studio, MY COMPUTER. But I always have a great time once I get where I am going.
I will have to pack up my flowers that are still looking fresh and give them away before I leave. How could I just leave all these pretty roses from the party last week to die alone while I am gone??? I’ll have to find someone to take them home and enjoy their last days. That is the kind of thing that I worry about before a trip, I can’t leave my pretty flower arrangements!! 
And Sugarwings!! How can I leave Sugarwings for TEN DAYS???? I’ve never been away from her for that long in her entire life!!
She is coming over today to say goodbye. And I am going to finish a few more pages in my art journal about her, to keep with me in the car, so I can stare at her pictures.
My roses have started to bloom, finally,after the terrible freeze that I thought had ruined them.
I will miss them, and every inch of my fairy cottage. I love my home down to the smallest details like the vines I drew in the cement as the new sidewalk was poured.
And I will miss all my bloggie friends. What if you all forget about me in the 10 long days I am gone??? What if people get out of the habit of coming here to look because there is nothing new for sooooo long???
I won’t even think about that.
Off to work, I have more to do today than humanly possible and here I am playing with Typepad. Geez, sometimes I wonder about myself. But, I know I’ll be back today to write more… can’t help it.
Have a great trip!!I hope you get everything done you need to.

I’ll be here when you get back and will miss your posts! My trusty Google Reader keeps all my favorite blogs and lets me know when they’re updated, so no fear that I will forget you. Hope you have a great time! 🙂
We won’t forget you! We’ll be here awaiting your return!
(And for the record, I always feel like that too, when I’m going on trips ~ not really wanting to leave, kind of anxious about getting everything done ~ but always feel better once I actually depart)
Have fun!
🙂
