This ain't gonna work......

These are the books I want to take with me on vacation.....a modest pile consisting of:

an erotic fiction

a regular fiction

two drawing books

one writing book

one nyc book

two self help books

one biography

one humor book

two sketch pads

(no I don't draw but I have this terribly urge to try)

a shell and beach identification book

one architectural/philosophy book

one journal

one slim poetry book.......

I can't imagine going with less...........so now it's come down to...books or things like>>>>>>clothes.

I feel like King Solomon....suggesting the baby might have to be cut in half......will I have to abandon those killer high heels after all?

Ms. Action-Oriented Admits She's NOT READY

What???....I looked at the calender and freaked.

.

In exactly three weeks....May 28 ......(my birthday)....

.

I'm leaving for New York and the Big Family Vacation.

.

I've been so busy being life's ping pong ball the last couple

months....with my parents' failing health, my daughter's student loan fiasco, pets dying....storms wanting to blow down my house....I am not ready.

.

Okay....I'll repeat that....Ms. Action-Oriented....Ms. Organized is not ready.

.

The Little Folder that says.....Family Vacation....lacks.

.

Car rentals, NYC hotels, and even a plane ticket for the youngest son is not there. ( The strategy of waiting for the summer sales on air fare was a complete failure)

.

Since I'm arriving a few days ahead of the troops.....maybe I should plan to buy lots of wine and beer and good food...and hope they won't notice....they're walking the 52 miles from the Long Island airport to the beach house

.

Hmmm.......Maybe I should drink all that wine.....and not care.......what they think......lol.....
