The Final Countdown

Is it me, or are my titles rather ominous-sounding? Wonder if my email titles come across the same way. Hmmm...

Anyway, I just finished a Hurricane Rita-esque trip to Kroger. I now have a collection of power bars, peanut-butter crackers, trail mix, and beef jerky that could choke a horse. Hopefully the food in Turkey will be great (I won't be able to say the same about the Lufthansa coach meal, I'm sure) and I won't need it, but I feel better with a small stack of fruit roll-ups.

Since the weasels at Sony kept delaying the new laptop, I'm stuck with the old one. I managed to scrounge up an extra battery so that it might actually last through two movies on the plane. Too bad the smaller one didn't arrive, but at least I'll be able to keep up the plan to both blog and download each day's pictures off the digital camera into the PC.

The weather forecast looks a little wet, but not too bad. The rain doesn't bother me anyway. I just hope all the pictures and stuff come out okay.

Oh, and Doug found the boobie necklace at the office this afternoon, so it's going to Turkey with me. I will behave myself and not take it into any mosques and stuff, but it's definitely making the trek out to Troy. :) On a whim I created a Travelin' Boobies blogsite, too - will start working on that when I get back.

The washer just buzzed, so back to the last minute laundry. L8R
