10 more days......!!!

Hi everyone!
It's nearly a miracle....but it's actually raining here! Yeah! It's been a very looooooong time since we've had rain so I hope it keeps on-a-comin'! Especially because we have a big bonfire planned for next weekend and without a lot of rain, we won't be able to have it. Hopefully we get enough for them to lift the burn-ban.
Anyway, tonight is my Bunco night. I meet with 11 other ladies and we eat, talk and play Bunco and it's a nice opportunity to have a little grown-up time. I am really hoping I will win a prize tonight because I could use the extra money. If I win the big prize ($30, I think) I am going to treat myself to a pedicure/maincure before we go on the cruise. If I win a smaller prize, maybe I can just get a pedicure. I am wanting to try the french manicure thing on my toes, I think. I can't even remember the last time I saw my toes un-painted for more than the minute or two it takes me to take off the old polish and put on the new. Matt has never seen my toenails without paint on them! Weird, huh? It's one of my quirks, I guess. It goes right along with the one that says I must have perfectly silky smooth legs at ALL times! ha ha. I am fanatical about that! If you could ask my best friend (during my pre-teen and teenage years) she'd tell you that I couldn't handle for her to spend the night and sleep in my bed if she hadn't JUST shaved her legs. Just the thought of her prickly leg touching me gives me the heebie-jeebies!! I actually shave at least once a day, oftentimes twice a day and occasionally...three times a day!!! Yep! My poor legs! You'd think they'd be extremly dry but I mix up my own secret combination of baby-oil gel and Vaseline Inensive Care lotion that makes them feel moist and satiny all the time! At least my hubby doesn't have to worry about sleeping with a porcupine!
Anyway, where did all that come from? Who knows! I actually started this post planning to talk about my up-coming cruise! It's only 10 days until we set sail! HOORAY! I am getting really excited now! Last night I sat down with 16 brown paper bags and labeled one for Brooklyn and one for Grant for each day that we are going to be gone. I am writing little notes to them and giving them little "surprises" so that they will feel like we are thinking about them even while we are gone. It is going to be so weird to be away from them for 8 whole days!!! I just hope I can focus on the fun that Matt and I are having and not miss them too much!
Well, I better get up off my booty and get things done around the house before I have to leave for my girls-night-out! Somebody e-mail me and tell me who gets cut from American Idol tonight since I am missing it, okay?
