Title: How are your preparations going ..
Post by Richr8 on Jul 9th, 2006, 11:32am
... for the trip?  With the convention in four days things are starting to pile up.  Feels good for a change.  Much better than sitting around holding my breath and praying that nothing else comes up. July is a huge month for me in a very good way.

Short list before of things to do before I leave (Don't forget to inlcude work):

Do Laundry
Go to cleaners
Go to Supermarket
Get haircut
Figure out ride to AP in Phoenix (Don't want to leave my car at AP).
Another trip to the old house to get more of my stuff, help the X pack, and make minor repairs.
Meet with three moving companies reps for estimates on her move to new home.
Watch Foosball table and Entertainment center on Ebay (must sell before escrow closes on the 27th).
Meet with title company to sign papers
Meet with Loan Officer to sign papers
Clean 120 gal fish tank.
Pack.  

What am I forgetting?  How about you?  Is it gettin' kind a hectic?   ;;D

Wheres the bit about having to scream 'cos you're getting so excited?!

I'm having to make lists too Richy, I'm terrified of forgetting something important like my passport!

I'm all caught up at work for a change... but that will probably change this week.

Short list:

Pack my suitcase

Pack the laptop bag

Throw my laptop in the bag right before I walk out the door.

Leave directly from work Friday morning.

See ya's Friday!

Ugh.  I'm trying to finish knitting a blanket and have 20 rows of stitches to go before I leave home Thurs. morning.

I need to find a F'ing battery charger for my "new" camera, as the one that was sent to me won't charge anything.

I gotta get groceries for the family, pick up some beer & a couple new shirts, pack, take Lily to band practice & karate tomorrow, to get her blood drawn on Tues, band practice & karate again on Wed., and somehow in the middle of all of this I need to get to the bank.

I'm sure a ton more crap will load up on my shoulders between now and then!! :P

Have fun all but take the time to let all us staying home see what you guys are doing. Post show pictures.

I have 3 boxes ready to ship to the hotel with OUCH store items.  I am waiting on delivery of the OUCH Zippo lighters to put in the 4th box.  

I have to make sure I have all the OUCH documents in my briefcase for the meeting, trip to the dry cleaners, and mow the lawn.  That's bout it for me...except printing out my boarding pass for the airline.   ;)

I was also trying to get ahead a bit at work, but Windows has blown that all to heck.  I installed a new printer last Wednesday and it will not print. The IT department has spent a total of 21 hours working on it (3 work days) loading and unloading drivers, trying other printers with this lap top, trying other laptops with this printer and it is still not working.  It's a new lap top and printer to boot.  Arghhh!
