Packing, Hair Removal and Drunk Texts

Today is the day... that is, the day before we leave. We being Noelle & I. The rest of the group is meeting us in increments over the next few days. Two members of the group come in on Friday, and the other two arrive on Saturday.

I started the "I'm getting ready to leave town" process by de-hairing last night. I've wanted to share with y'all the de-hairing process but haven't gotten around to it yet. I use an epilator on most of my body for hair removal. Some of you may be asking what an epilator is... It's a little device, kind of like an electric razor, but instead of shaving the hair off, it rips it out. And yes, it hurts like a sonofabitch, but you get used to it. And eventually, your hair starts growing at a much slower pace, comes in much more fine, and is much more sparse. Kind of like waxing... rip it out and it takes a few weeks to grow back.

Anyway, I de-haired my arms and legs last night. It always takes more time than I'd like, but considering I don't have to do it often, it's ok.

I have to go home and pack tonight... I hate packing. I have major anxiety about forgetting things. So what do I do? I wander aimlessly back and forth between my bedroom and bathroom for at least 3 hours trying to get everything in order. By the time I'm ready for bed, I've got most of the clothes packed and the toiletries I use in the morning sitting out ready to go.

In the morning I have to get up at least 30 - 45 minutes earlier than I normally would so I can get ready and then continue to pack (read: continue to freak out about what I might have missed). Until the point the plane is in the air, I panic. It's stupid, I know. I can always just buy what I need when I get to my destination!

I have some entries set to post while I'm gone. I hope you enjoy them. If not, oh well. I can't please everyone!

I couldn't hold out so I sent a text to S last night. Just a "Hey, how are you, what's going on" text. And I didn't hear back from him. Naturally, I was bummed the rest of the night and all morning... until I got a text back from him (and he apologized for not responding last night). All is well, I think!

If you don't read Saskia's blog, then you should start. And she has an awesome video over there today... go check it out! Auri has a funny one too... go watch it!

I just read the word "functions" and thought it said "futicons." It's time for a vacay. Good thing I'm leaving tomorrow, huh?

By the way, if I have your number in my phone (or CrackBerry IM), don't be totally surprised if you get drunk texts from me all weekend. Consider yourself warned! Speaking of which, I told S the same thing... he said he could handle that!
