Does anyone else get as frazzled as I do when preparing for a holiday? Whether you are hosting or you are the one making the excursion, it just seems like such a big deal.<\/p>\n
We are taking the Honda up to my parents’ house for the first time so that they can see it. Usually, they come to us because we’re always so busy and my dad likes to take a break over a weekend and make the drive down. Every once in a while, we should return the favor. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
So, we’ll work a half day tomorrow and then make the four hour trek up to their house. It’s not an unpleasant drive or anything, so I’m not worried, but there is preparation leading up to leaving the house for several days, taking the dog to another location for several days, etc. Things I slack off on and push off until later, like laundry and dishes, all have to be finished before we leave. Plus, the packing and hoping you don’t forget anything. Usually, by the time we load up the car, I have to remind myself that if we forget something, we can always do without or buy it there. What’s the worst thing you can possibly forget that’s absolutely critical? Just medications and those are always a high priority.<\/p>\n
My list making begins tonight. I’m such a fan of lists, as it takes all of those “I should remember to pack … ” thoughts out of my head and puts them down on paper where I will actually remember them. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
But, holidays are supposed to be time to relax, aren’t they? \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n
On the stitching side, I haven’t yet decided which projects will travel with me. Many are on scroll frames that can’t travel, so it may be a mix of smaller exchange pieces and one that I was working on Q-snaps. Who knows? I’ll figure it out tonight. And my square for Laura’s quilt will be finished tonight. I finished the cross stitches last night and started the backstitching. I had planned on finishing it in the car today during the commute, but then Terry remembered that the Honda was scheduled to have the fog lights installed today, which means I’m driving the Honda and he’s driving the SUV. Oh well, I’m close enough that it will be quick to finish off. Watch this space for a happy dance photo – SOON!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
