A worldly woman

Well, we've gone and done it. Today, I sent my dear daughter on her very first grown-up vacay. Granted, it wasn't with me nor was it alone and it wasn't to some sophisticated place like New York City or Washington DC, but let's just do baby steps first, shall we?

Autumn is traveling to Florida, land of sunshine, palm trees and Universal Studios...weeee! She is going with her dad and family, and all I have to say to that is Good Luck To Ya! I have no guarantees that she will be on her best behavior, especially because she is almost 13, she is traveling with her two younger sisters, and she is a bit of a drama queen.

I have no idea where she gets that from.

Ahem...anyhoo...

Autumn will be gone a whole 10 days. And as much as she irritates the crap out of me sometimes, I do believe I will miss her like holy heck. However, souvenirs best be forthcoming. A wardrobe isn't complete without a Looney Toons fanny pack and an Incredible Hulk sun visor, I always say.

On a side note, I know ya'll are beside yourselves with the fact there are no scrapbook layouts with which to ogle and drool over. Trust me, I am dying inside myself! I was forced, against my will, to help my daughter with laundry and packing, which in turn disrupted my creative time and threw off my groove.

However, Monday is another day. I got my first August kit in the mail today, PLUS I am going to meet Elsie this weekend, so the scrap juice should be flowin' rather well, I'd say. Stay tuned, people and prepare yourselves....
