Final Countdown

OMG. omg. OMG. omg. OMG. omg. It's actually here. All my bags are (mostly.) packed and I'm (reluctantly but super excitedly) ready to go. Packing has been nuts and I've packed and repacked at least twice. But here it is. Getting up at 5:30 am tomorrow morning, packing the last minute essentials, driving down to HPN and going en route to the trip of a lifetime! I can't believe it's here! Crazy crazy crazy crazy! Mom and I are staying at a seemly beautiful hotel in the Bahamas and I can't wait to be reunited with ma Lips! Two full days in the sun and at 10:30 (give or take) on Thursday Morning, I'll be boarding the ship! The ship officially embarks at 5 pm though so if you happen to be in the Bahamamammaas or Dominica, feel free to come wave goodbye!

This is what 4 months of toiletries look like. RIDICULOUS.

Seriously though, the only clothes I brought.

Told you, 2 suitcases and a hiking backpack. Check out the book Mariss!

I've been updating a playlist of songs for SAS so I might as well put them here. People were compiling in the group as well so some are coming from there. Also, as we speak, I have 152 items downloading on iTunes. Redownloading all of my Gossip Girl and How I Met Your Mother (plus seasons 3-6 new).
