I even told Jason I didn't know if I WOULD create an itinerary (which was kind of a lie given that I have already memorized my preliminary mental itinerary, along with pertinent details. I'm not THAT relaxed!) There just may not be a physical one this time.
But there had to be a binder. I know, I have a problem! But what if there is some information we NEED!!! The info binder contains all the confirmations/descriptions/contact information - and sometimes backup maps - that make for a seamless trip! I'm just saying. And everyone needs to have contextual information about the places they visit, right? Right?
*Sigh.* Well, there is still much to do before we go. The house is in its perennial state of domicile composting, and with my ever-growing list of "things I want to get done but likely have no chance of achieving," I hope something gets done. A glimpse inside my to-do list for today:
- buy books on tape for the road trip (Harry Potter, fingers crossed, to complement our 3 hr Glenn Beck commentary)
- get a haircut (I told Jason I was getting the Gosselin!)
- create a goat cheese/heirloom tomato tart Ina would be proud of
- whip up a batch of cream cheese brownies (part box, part homemade - I'm only human!)
- roll out the dough for/compose lemon curd tartlets with a little berry on top (strawberry? blackberry? raspberry? TBD..)
- slice up cheese, sausages, and bread for the picnic
- assemble Italian BLTs (focaccia, mozzarella, basil, heirloom tomatoes, EVOO, and crispy proscuitto)
- pack Gizzy for camp (food/toys)
- wash at least two sets of clothes (jeans, darks?? Whites and middles may have to suffer...)
- take fermenting dishes we stuffed into the dishwasher so visitors would THINK we are clean out of the dishwasher, give proper bath/scrape, then reload dishwasher
- find bed, collapse into
