Rumbles; Getting ready for vacation
Major upset stomach tonight. Don’t know if was the ham, the pear, or just Devin stirring things up in there… but oh man. (And I don’t mean puking. A different kind of stomach upheaval! I am thankfully past the puking.)
The more I think about it, the more I think that last Wednesday was something other than straight morning sickness. I’ve forgotten to take my pills before and never had it hit me so hard so quickly. It seems like a huge coincidence, but who really knows. I’m just glad it’s over with and I have my appetite back.

We leave in 3 days. Yikes!! I’m just now searching online to find the current screening proceedures and what is allowed in carry-ons and what isn’t. I can bring a small tube of moisturizer, my lip balm, and my nail clippers!! Yay!! (The three things I HATE to fly without – so dry!) Plus, anything purchased within the airport after security – like bottled water – is okay to take on the plane. Whew. Our flights don’t even provide meals, though you can purchase a “snack pack” (what a rip off!). I’m going to have to be packing or buying lots of snacks for myself, for sure.
I actually enjoy christmas shopping, and I love wrapping, but I’m working all day monday and tuesday, we leave wednesday, and I was hoping to get to the mall before we go. Today is another big snowstorm so Den’s forbidding me to leave the house, so that’s out. Guess I’ll have to do some evening shopping… bummer. I like to avoid shopping when everyone else is there. But it’ll feel great to get the last things off my list! We still are going to do shopping in Canada once we’re there, as we were kind of hoping to avoid carrying a bunch of presents with us. But that’s okay with me.
Shoot I still need to get my hair cut too. Add that to my list for mon/tues…
Once I get to my parents I will hopefully have very little to do besides enjoy myself. That is the plan, at least!

Nat- you can bring snacks on the plane as long as they are not liquid (like juice or canned fruit) or gel (like jello). You can bring power barrs and solid fruit, nuts, cookies, etc…
Oh, and make sure all your “liquid” cosmetics (creams, lipbalm, shampoo, conditioner, mascara, etc…) are in a 1 litre or less zip lock bag- do not have them flaoting around separately in you purse or carry-on.
Have a great trip!!
