Memorial Day Weekend

Yesterday, Abby and I bought these necessary items for our trip:

Twin sized air mattress, after determining that yes, the twin size air mattress could fit in the tent with the queen size air mattress. Yes, the tent is still up in the living room, now with both the queen and the twin mattresses in it. Camping is going to be comfy!

Styrofoam cooler, decorated with pink flowers on both sides. Not too bulky to fit easily in the car, and we decided that we'd write the places that we stopped on it, so it would turn into a memory cooler. I hope that doesn't mean I'll never be able to throw it out.

Lots of supplies for the cats, who will probably not even notice that we're gone. One of the items was a new litter box, with a cover, and the cats adore it. They were even sitting in it before I got it set up for them in the bathroom.

I am having lots of random thoughts about organization on the trip, which includes urges like rushing out to buy fabric and make many various-sized drawstring bags that will be the cornerstone of our organizational efforts on the trip, and will hold things like all camera supplies, etc.

Luckily, I am old enough to realize that this is my natural inclination when facing a large project (to focus too much on organizational efforts and not enough on getting things done), and that my natural inclination isn't always right. (It mostly is, but just not on this topic!)
