I have about 20 minutes before I have to leave to meet XH to get the kiddos. Pretty much everything is done, except for cooking for our BBQ this afternoon before we leave - though I did do the broccoli salad.
I talked myself into doing the pump, jump and jam DVD yesterday and was glad I did. Finished up the produce/meat I needed to buy, got my pedicure and eye brow wax, returned all the items I needed to, got two free things at VS from coupons I got in the mail - it was like a backwards shopping day! Lol. Did pick up another pair of sandals at 75% off at Macys and sunglasses for 50% off. Picked up dinner at Panera (again, free, boss gave me a coupon) but also picked up a Cobblestone with the intention of eating half. I was STARVING though, and devoured the whole thing in the car. Then when I was making the ganache for today’s choc molten cupcakes, I dove - HEAVILY - into the chocolate. Sigh.
I am 99% packed. Unfortunately, I did NOT get to cut the grass. Rain, rain and more rain. The yard looks like crap, and now it won’t be cut for another 7 days. Groan. My neighbors are going to love that.
Just finished my egg beaters … need to stop at the grocery store. I forgot a red onion for the salad. I think it is more annoying to do such a LARGE grocery shopping and forget one small (but vital) ingredient.
Okay ladies, will try and post Monday the 31st though I expect work is going to be insane. Send me some good weather vibes. Not for the islands, but to get the heck out of NY without delays! lol!
HUGS!

Love the mad dash to finish line for vacation departure…perhaps ask your neighbors if they could mow the lawn for one of your special baked treats? I’d hate to see you have to rake the whole thing when you get back…
