PROCRASTINATING

I'm still in the middle of packing.  I lost my momentum to pack when my mom called me @ work and told me that I had to babysit my nephew for a few hours while she goes to my cousin's bday lunch.  On one hand, I got to hang out w/my nephew and had a great time!  On the other hand, it's almost 1:00 am and I'm still packing.  Ok, I have to admit, I took a 30 min FV break to harvest my raspberries.  They're only a 2 hour crop and I gotta get my fill of farming before I leave!  Now I'm taking a who knows how long break to write this blog 'coz I've gotta work up the motivation to continue packing.

I hate packing for trips!  It's hard for me to set up outfits for what I'm going to wear days ahead.  I sometimes change 3 times in the morning before I run out the door for work!  I don't quite get that luxury when I go on vacation, so it makes it quite hard to pick out outfits.  Not to mention that I'm going to a country that I don't quite know what the weather's like.  Sure weather.com tells me that it's going to be around the 70's, but how do I know that 74 degrees in Florence feels like 74 degrees in California? Oh and I've also got the added "pressure" of trying not to look like a tourist!  I don't know why I'm even trying given that my face is kind of a dead give away!

I went to exchange money this afternoon during my lunch time.  It's was sooooo depressing to find out that I had to pay $1.40 to get 1 Euro.  *sigh!* My American pennies aren't going to take me very far in Italy!

Ok, I'm getting up now and I'm going to start packing again.  For real!  Ok!  Now!  C'mon Dora, LOG OFF!!
