vacation preparation

We leave in the morning for Destin with my whole family! Looking forward to it.

In the meantime, however...

....you know how you do laundry a few days before you leave for a trip, then you tell everybody not to wear anything between now and then that they want to take because you won't be doing laundry again? And, then, you know how all that's left in your drawers after that are ugly clothes that you don't normally wear?

That's us this week, folks. If you see us out & about, please don't say anything about how we look.

Another vacation preparation casualty is our pantry and fridge. Because, well, you know how you don't want to go to the store and spend a lot of money on food that will go bad while you're gone? Basically, that means your menu for this week might look a little something like this:

*spaghetti with a jar of sauce, no meat
*eggs and biscuits
*rotisserie chicken and sides from the deli
*cereal

Nothing wrong with any of those dishes, by the way....I'm just sayin' there might've been a little more pizzazz this week if I'd allowed myself to buy anything at the store other than vacation food. (I do have skittles and chex mix, but heaven help you if you even THINK about opening those bags before we hit the Alabama state line...)
