Jumping time zones makes me feel robbed.
I'm going out of town tomorrow (Friday) and I am once again, not feeling as prepared as the hypothetical me always feels I should be. I'll only be gone for three nights. three nights totally-easy-to-pack-for nights.
Today was an (unexpected, of course) extra long day at work and it's no one's fault but my own. I hate it when that happens. It's a good lesson; to fail so hard that it takes fiction to blame someone else. I surprised myself with my ability to take the blame, to know better than to try to pass it off. It gives me confidence in (all) those times I blame others. Clearly, they deserve it.
Anyway, I didn't get to follow my hypothetical schedule which involved doing a load of laundry (complete with time to air dry everything), watching two TV shows, perhaps a third (still haven't seen last night's ANTM or Gossip Girl, XOXO), and packing, AND plenty of lying around time. Instead, I managed to watch the two shows (Grey's, Survivor), complain about how tired I was all the way through, and then, start to pack before really needed this lying around time. As a result, I am bringing dirty laundry with me and will not be showering before getting on the plane. Gross? Very yes.
I got a huge Starbucks card as a gift today which was AWESOME. However, I totally forgot it at my office. Sooo, in the morning, when I leave my house at 5:30 for the airport, I will stop at the Bucks and pay cash knowing I could be using a card. Booo. You know what's scary? This post is the least whiny I've been in days.
I need to go pack some more dirty clothes. If you know where I can watch ANTM online before it's up on the CW player Sunday night, please email me. I need to watch it ASAP so I don't get spoiled.
Oh, ALSO, this is the first trip in over two years where I won't have a laptop. Yes, I feel panicky. (But I've saved 25 percent towards a new one! And while that isn't exactly the same as, you know, being able to write blog posts in the airport, or checking my email as often as I like, or reading the internet intravenously, it still feeeeeeels good to know that some day I will have a new baby to fuss over through airport security.)
Now I'm really packing. Promise.
Comments
So, I turned off comment verification last night because I knew I would be away from the internet all day long and I thought my blog could handle it.
Got up this morning and I had like five spam comments. So It's back on. Sorry. Comment anyway!

know what makes me feel robbed? coming back here and seeing no new posts.
also, you can't retaliate with a but-you-never-update line because my updates are crap and yours, in turn, are not, so in the words of a.a. milne, update your blog, dillhole.
