How is it that it’s the end of August already? I have a whole big TwiCon post sitting in draft because I haven’t been able to get time to add the photos that go with it! LOL It was started Aug. 3rd!
Last week all 3 of use were on vacation. First the kiddo, my mom and I headed down south to the beach. Well, I’ve the the beach all along the west of me, but we went 2 hours south to Wildwood.

The rest of the week we spent hiking it to Ikea for various furniture needs. However, I am proud to say we put together an Expedit TV entertainment center by ourselves:

We’re still minus a kitchen table. It’s sold out. Bleh. Hopefully it will be in soon. (Was sooo not paying $149 shipping on a $179 item.)
Now this past Monday I was back to work. Reality, it sucks. Here’s hoping the week picks up and moves faster! At least Barnes & Nobles just called… my book is in.

In 3 days and 23 minutes or so, the plane will be taking off and I’ll be on my way to TwiCon 2009. *Ü* I can’t wait. Of course I’m anxious over the flight, but still.
I’ve got my clothes all ready to pack, picked out my autograph item, and have written down instructions for the husband for the kiddo (who is home today due to a horrible cough). Last minute measuring has revealed that my carry-on bag is two inches too deep for Continental. Crud. I’m not buying a $100 bag so I can pack LESS. So we’ll be checking. Yes, it will cost me $15 each way, however, I’ll be able to fit what I need. I did see a neat bag at Costco yesterday… it allowed you to decrease the size of the bag to 9″, which would be good, but again, it was $113. AND my current bag (Costco, lol) was much better made. The wheels on mine are rollerblade wheels, where the ones on the changeable one I saw were just that hard plastic.
This is only my third time traveling a distance and going somewhere that I’d get souvenirs. Any thoughts on what to bring back? I don’t want to get stuck with truly useless tchotchkes.
