I Can't Believe It's Over Already!

I'll post more pics later on.  Gotta get back to unpacking!  Thanks to ALL of you for a wonderful RETREAT!

Happy traveling and see you when you get there!
   

Just Posting My To-Do List for Today.

I got up this morning after a very well rested night,  I must have needed that get-away yesterday to a Crop that I had nothing to do with, as far as planning!  Plus, I did some stretching exercises (thanks to my friend, BettyAnn) and I didn't have ONE leg or foot cramp to disturb my sleep!  So I woke up in a GREAT MOOD!  Ready to tackle the day!

And here's my TO-DO list for TODAY! (including some statuses)
  • WalMart run (last batch of stuff for the retreat) - DONE... did that at 9am)
  • Get Nails done - putting that one off til Tuesday, when I'm off for the afternoon
  • Office Depot run to get ink cartridges - didn't go to Office Depot because when my sister came over for coffee, she told me about a great sale going on at the HP website... ordered it online, saved some $$ and will have them Tuesday!
  • Hem my TShirts because they were so long, they hung below my knees - DONE
  • Get my SWAPS done - still pending!

  • Finalize Welcome Brochures, Print and Fold - DONE 
  • Pack some more stuff - Pending... always!

  • Watch as many episodes of LOST as I can get into one day! - pending.... I'm on Episode 7 of the 1st Season and I just atarted it today!  I totally did not know it was streaming on Netflix!  WOOHOO! - thanks Suzy!
Ok, I'm going to stop now and come back on later to update!  Phew!  That made me tired!
   

We are getting SO CLOSE NOW!
