Today is July 1st, which means two things, well, three things at least around here. And since I don't want to wait until tomorrow to post this, I'm skipping Wordless Wednesday.
1. It's doughnut day. Back in L.A., we passed a doughnut shop every day on the way to the girls' school, and foolishly, one day I stopped and bought them a doughnut. I know. EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, there were pleas for doughnuts, tears for doughnuts, bargaining for doughnuts. In an effort to save my sanity, we declared the first of every month Doughnut Day. We no longer live down the road from a doughnut shop, but the tradition remains. So happy doughnut day, everyone!
2. Which leads me to the second significance. It's weigh in day. Duhn da duhn duhn. I won't keep you in suspense. I made it. I squeaked in by the skin of my teeth, coming in 1/2 a pound over on the bathroom scale, but 1/2 a pound under on the Wii Fit scale, which was declared a legal weighing measure. I can also tell you that The Man made his weight, needing to lose only 8 pounds, and instead losing EIGHTEEN pounds. Stupid men and their will power. To celebrate? Why, yes indeed, I DID get a doughnut today! No weigh ins over our July vacation after all.
3. Which leads me to the THIRD significance of July 1st. I have 5 days before we leave, and I've yet to pack anything for our MONTH-LONG trip to California. This trip will include a week of camping, so I'm really packing for TWO vacations. It's daunting. I'm hoping that now that I'm not obsessed with all the food I can't eat, I can concentrate on finding the bug spray and sleeping bags and flashlights and the 437 other things I need to be ready. Wish me luck.

3 of you HAD to say...:
Okay, I'm am totally not envying you right now. I am trying to pack for one week at a cottage with six people, but I think you've got me beat hands down. That's a tough pack. Good luck with that.
And I feel sad...you forgot the significance of this day over here, your Canadian internet friend's country's BIRTHDAY!!
But, that's okay. I'll only hold you accountable if you actually visit me way up here!
Will you be online while away, or will we have to have a month long BD break?
Man! I can't believe everyone is going on vacation just as soon as I get home! How's that for the love?
Have a great time! California will be so much nicer/cooler than Texas (or Abu Dhabi). I'm envious.
WOO-HOO! I know this is very late in coming, but congrats on not have to show your pre-goal-weight-bikini-clad-body on the Internet. THAT would have driven you to drink.
