Making Lists

Hey, A

I have begun writing my lists for my trip--what clothes to pack, what recipes to bring (even though I don't care if we eat Subway every day), discussion topics (long stories we've tabled to have in person), what I need to do between now and then--and I'm more excited every day.

I really don't have any plans between now and Tuesday, although I may try to get to the beach one more time to see S and C before I leave. (They'll be in Newport when I get back and it's still up in the air if I will be joining them.) Otherwise, while I'm counting the days, I'm content to be doing little else besides making those lists, being low key, sitting by the pool (even in the clouds as I did this morning) and reading. I finished The Pilot's Wife last night and started Elizabeth Berg's newest, Home Safe, today by the pool. I'm 100 pages into it (I stayed out until after 5 today...) and will continue to read later tonight after I write for a bit. Tomorrow I imagine I'll do it all over again. Oh how I love vacation.

Hope you're happy with your nails and that you're having a good day.

Talk to you soon.
xo, Barb
