getting ready to take off

I'll be packing today for my trip to Easton, PA. I'm giving a workshop (my one on "Writing Category") Saturday morning for the Pocono-Lehigh Chapter of RWA, but it's quite a trip all the way across the state, so I'm taking off early.

I'll also be traveling in the exact same direction as I tried to last October for the NJRW conference. You know, the one where it rained so badly there were big accidents on I-80 that closed the highway for hours upon hours, & I ended up turning around & coming home. :-( I sure hope nothing like that happens this time. Yes, it's supposed to rain again, but I'm hoping it's not quite the downpour we got last Fall. And I'm leaving a day early, so hopefully that will help. Keep your fingers crossed I make it all the way there without incident. :-p

I've already got my suitcase out & am pretty sure I know what I'm going to wear. Lord, it's been such a long, hibernating winter, I can't remember the last time I got dressed up. And it sort of hit me like a lightning bolt last night that, Oh! I'm going to need shoes! LOL Yes, I actually had my outfits all laid out...& was apparently planning to go barefoot the way I do around the house. Then I had to dig thru my closet & try to find my dress shoes because I tend to pack them away after the "conference season" has ended.

But I'm getting there. I have my list & think everything I might need is on it. Now it's just a matter of finding it all & getting it packed.

Also found out today that my new bookmarks (the second order to replace the icky ones) have been shipped & should arrive early next week. Not in time for this workshop, obviously, but that's okay; I don't really need them until the end of the month.

See you Sunday (or maybe Monday), I guess!
