The Pre-Travel Freak-Out Begins

So, in case you haven’t heard, Emily and I are leaving bright and early Thursday morning for BlogHer. And we are soooo excited! (wanna see some of the fabulous clothes we are wearing thanks to Lands’ End? Check out my Blissful Style post here!) But as always, I have 50 million things to do before we leave that I am STRESSING about. So, I thought I’d share them with you in an attempt to make myself feel better, and maybe my brain feel a bit more organized:

1) Do my laundry
2) Press my beautiful yellow dress
3) Buy some heels to wear with my beautiful yellow dress (done! score!)
4) Pay bills
5) Buy stamps with which to mail bills
6) Do my kids’ laundry so my BFF Luanne who is babysitting will have clothes to dress them in!
7) Go to the grocery so Luanne will also have FOOD to feed them
8 ) clean out my car so Luanne won’t have to drive around a rolling trash bin
9) Pack!
10) Finish writing this week’s posts for Blissful Style
11) Clean the house so Luanne won’t have to watch my kids in squalor
12) Work on my speadsheet (which I got from Emily, Queen of all Spreadsheets) so I’ll know WHERE I am supposed to be WHEN at BlogHer. Because my brain is incapable of keeping track.
13) Charge my camera batteries
14) Order business cards for Emily & myself

Ok, well…that’s all I can think of now…but I’ll add more as I think of them and cross things off as I finish. Ready, set GO!

  1. Squee….it’s getting closer to Thursday and I’m beyond excited. So much to do and I’m running out of time.

    Love that yellow dress! Wonder if the Salsa colored one would look decent on a BIG girl. LOL

    See ya’ll in Chicago!

  2. hey – if all else gets done forget the house/car cleaning! Luanne wont care and it will be there when you get back. Relax and enjoy your trip!

  3. I have a list too. I thought that would make me feel better, make it all more manageable and whatnot. All the list does is serve to stress me out, especially when I see you have things crossed off already from *your* list.

    Show off

  4. I have my list, including my strategically planned wardrobe (so I only need to bring 4 pair of shoes, including my running shoes). Tomorrow I still need to pick up some snacks, maybe–if I’m lucky–an extra laptop battery and get both cameras charged up. I’m not really nervous, just excited. This is my first!
