It's time to leave..

As ready as I am to head out to sunny California tomorrow, I can't help but think, I am forgetting to do something.. is it at home?, is it work?, not sure.

I have for the first time ever, only packed what I need and will wear. Normally, I over pack and end up NOT wearing almost half of what I packed in the first place.
Not this year. Nope, This year I decided to do it different and more how it should always have been. Maybe that is why I can't help but think I am missing something..(it's all my security clothes!!!! What am I thinking?!?!?) I keep telling myself, if I forget something, I can buy it there. Besides, it's California, not a foreign country. Right? haha Well, some might beg to differ.

Let's see.. so you know '--/' means "check"

itinerary--/
car rental info--/
money--/
concert tickets--/
clothes for 7 days--/
undergarments--/
only 2 pairs of shoes--/** those who know me are probably gasping!* YES, I am only packing a pair of flip flops and walking shoes.. and I will be wearing my favorite Rocket Dog slip ons onto the plane.. so 3 total. I am pretty impressed myself.
Make-up--/
toiletries--/
jackets--/
pj's--/

As I am typing this, I am pretty sure I have packed all the necessities (Break into the Jungle book Song--- Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities) and even though I have packed light, I can't help but think my suitcase is going to weigh over 50 lbs and they will make me take stuff out.
I have been taking this trip for 5 years now, and you would think by now, I would have this down. Maybe its the age thing bringing on the anxiety or something.

I think I just need to breathe and relax and know that I can buy it there if I forgot it.
ahhhhh.
breathe in, breathe out. ooohhmmmmm...

yeah it helps a bit. I hope it helps alot more.. I want to be stress free and ready to go by tomorrow afternoon.

Most of you already know, I am going to California with Justin, we are doing the annual trip to Coachella. -- a big music and arts festival out in Indio, CA.

They list the set times today.. I know Justin is super duper happy.. its a bit different this year the way they have them listed.. but with all the great bands, I suppose they want to make it where you can see the A-list bands.

see below for the set times

maybe you can guess where I will be.. I doubt it though.. haha I don't think I even know.

Not sure if I will see or talk to you before I leave.. I am sure you will hear from me at some point or another.. At least if I stay in a scary hotel.. Ronda you will be getting a call from me. hahah

My next Thirty Years

Just posting these lyrics, I like the song, and it makes lots of sense.. some things I am coming to notice as I grow from day to day. Not only that, just the things you shouldn't take for granted and how things should be.


I think Ill take a moment, celebrate my age
The ending of an era and the turning of a page
Now its time to focus in on where I go from here
Lord have mercy on my next thirty years

Hey my next thirty years Im gonna have some fun
Try to forget about all the crazy things Ive done
Maybe now Ive conquered all my adolescent fears
And Ill do it better in my next thirty years

My next thirty years Im gonna settle all the scores
Cry a little less, laugh a little more
Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear
Figure out just what Im doing here
In my next thirty years

Oh my next thirty years, Im gonna watch my weight
Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late
Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers
Maybe Ill remember my next thirty years

My next thirty years will be the best years of my life
Raise a little family and hang out with my wife
Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here, in my next thirty years
In my next thirty years

FINALLY!!!!!!

I figured a few things out. ahhhh. Ok, time for bed.

I was reading the current issue of SPIN Magazine and in it was an interview with Jena Malone. She was speaking of a website called: http://freerice.com/index.php

It' s a site where you can not only test your vocabulary but increase it along the way.. And with each word you answer correctly you earn 20 grains of rice to feed the hungry.
Talk about highly addictive, especially for those who are into vocabulary.. ahem Megan.. lol, actually I think you would LOVE this site.

So go ahead, check it out... enjoy and know you are feeding the hungry and helping yourself along the way.
