away

tomorrow morning, really early, we leave for our visit with family.  today i'm doing masses of laundry, packing, planning, writing instructions for the dog sitter, sewing up holes in shorts, making sure z has enough snacks for a seven hour trip.  i always intend to post while away, but typically don't get to it.  so i just thought i'd say that i'll miss you all and if something strikes me, i may or may not post in the coming week. 

please, let something strike me.
