One more sleep (2007-07-11)

(Originally posted on 11 July 2007)

Tomorrow at this time I will be in the air between home and Alberta! If my flight isn't late (the way Giggles' was) I'll be half-way there.

I can hardly wait to see Giggles again, and her new stuffies, and her new pink cowboy boots! She's seen a fair bit of her Chinese cousin (well, technically my cousin, but A is a lot closer in age to Giggles than to me!). Every day we talk on the phone and we always end off with "I love you!"

Got to get through the whole day at work tomorrow, then come home, pick up my bags, grab a bite, and head to the airport.

So, how did I make out with the to-do list? Let's see...

  • make summer skirt for self - nope
  • finish Summer 2006 Holiday scrapbook - yes!!
  • start daughter’s lifebook - yes!!
  • (start to) learn Amharic - nope
  • work on front garden - yes!!

Hey, three out of five ain't bad.

Of course, there's still more work to do on the front garden - but my goal was to start, not finish. After all, the garden is a work in progress, right? (See post: A Gardener's Garden) Ditto with the lifebook. I've made a decent start; now that I've done so, it might be easier to keep going.

This blog will probably be quiet for the next two weeks. We'll be on the road until about the 24th, and likely not too close to a computer. So you can all take a break. Come back at the end of July and read all about our summer adventures! (well, okay, if I get to it that quickly...)
