mr. dd has turned into a raging lunatic because i have not yet begun to pack. you'd think after 16 years, he'd know i NEVER pack until 2 hours before I walk out the door. Guess this year, I will pack the night before, since we're leaving at 4 am saturday. my kids are already fighting. i've got about 8 million things to do before i can even begin to be officially on vacation. gotta deliver the dog to the sitter, make sure the cat sitter is gonna show up, pay bills, get oil changed, wash vehicle, make grocery list.seems all he has to do is get on a plane. it didn't help tonight that we got a $477.00 electric bill! guess who'll be sweating for the rest of the summer? and summer lasts here til the end of October. don't get me wrong though, I'm super excited! I get to meet some more SoWal friends, take a good look at GBSP, eat some good fattening food, drink a lot, spend time on the beach with my family, read a lot, sleep some and don't have to go to work for 10 glorious days!!
rant over.

Hey DD. My bestest friends from N. Richland Hills were with us at Grayton the first week of August. That is a long trip but at least you can do it in one day. We drove from kansas for many years and it was always a night on the road with 4 kids. Funn!!! :roll:

Yeah, my parents would do the night driving thing back when we were pretty small. We had a station wagon and they had the back seats down and some covers laid down back there with two pillows so we would sleep all through the night. They knew they would be in for the how much farther or when will we be there the entire trip otherwise.

DD, you luckeeee gull!! I hope you have the graytestest time ever!!!! Be very careful though, we want you there and back in one peice. Enjoy meeeting all the local celebs! I look forward to you reporting directly from the beach!
Thanks, sweetie! I will find a connection somewhere. SM: I was in NRH three times today! Nothing like working your butt off when you're trying to leave on vacation. My boss told me earlier that if I just get this one project done in the morning, I'm FREE! Yippee!
Do you visit your friends that live here?

Update:
mr. dd got a new blackberry today with internet. only thing is, i can't seem to get my password in there correctly.
when I type it, it only show astericks so i don't know if I've typed the right letters, cause every key has at least two letters
Not that I will be able to type more than a cryptic message anyway, because it takes about 5 mins for me to find my glasses, type, delete, correct, type, delete correct....well, you get the picture. But, as a last resort, if I can ever get the password entered, it might come in handy. He was so excited that he had a way for me to be connected!

Just do what my parents did to us, like the Xmas Eve, or a trip to Disney, we got a little chianti mixed with cream soda. Knocked us out like a light.

One benedryl ( 2 is too much) works wonders too. When we drive to Fla we drive all night. Mr. OL takes those caffiene pills that they sell at gas stations. That way he doesn't need to stop every hour from drinking so much coffee.SoWal Insider
I guess he kills two birds with one stone. Doesn't have to stop for coffee or potty. :funn:

Bye Bye dd! Have funn!
