yeah, yeah, yeah...

so i've been bad about blogging... i guess i've been busy, or just haven't had a chance. for some reason, i don't like blogging when the SO is around. whatev. he's sleeping now, so i'm coo
much to do today. i even made a list. shall I share? not too terribly exciting considering we're leaving for maui tomorrow morning... okay, here it is
•mani/pedi at noon
•get portable speakers for the iBook to take to hawaii (i'm not quite sure why I'm obsessed about doing this, but i am. i figure it'll be nice to be able to listen to my own music when i'm travelling)
•go to bank and activate debit card for the new account
•do a bit of laundry (for some reason, i actually got ahead of the game on this... just a little left to do specifically for the trip)
•maybe run out to Hayes Valley and hit Flight 001 to see if there's some travel accessory that I absolutely CANNOT live without)
•download some more CDs
•PSP. I want one. Gotta get one. MUST get one.
•make my packing list... i've started this. I'll keep my little notebook with me today and add to the list as stuff pops into my cluttered mind. How many pairs of shoes??? I've got 4 pairs on the list so far... no sneakers on the list yet, but I know I should probably bring some. 7 days in hawaii... I really don't need that many pairs of shoes. Or DO I???????
that's it so far... i know i'm forgetting something.
I'm really looking forward to this trip. I so need a vacation. I know we went to New York in December, but New York is less vaction-like because there's so much to get done. Shopping, shows, friends, dinners, sights (only cuz it was the SOs first time), shopping. Did I say shopping twice? Yeah. I MEANT to do that.
A trip to Hawaii is different. Not as much pre-work involved. Nobody to dress for. I'm sure my luggage will be about half the weight and volume as a New York trip. No shopping. We're staying in condos, so no meal stress. The only plan i have is to sit in the sun and get a tan. YES, I want to get a tan. I like being tan. The only time i get color is when I'm in Hawaii. I tan easily, but for some reason, the only time I get a noticeable tan is when i go to Hawaii. It's been a long time since I've had a noticeable tan. I wonder if it'll be different now that I'm old. Like will I get all freckle-y for some reason? Why do I think of stuff like that?
Last night I was jonesing to do a post... i was thinking what would happen if someone decided to speak to their child with a fake french accent? would the kid show up on the first day of school sounding like Pepe LePew? Cracked myself up.

The Pope is not gonna make it...

and for some reason, this makes me sad. Don't get me wrong, I'm not religious. I AM NOT RELIGIOUS. But I'm sad.
Rock on Pope. Have a blast in Heaven, or wherever.
