Yup. That is about all my brain could come up with to name this entry. I leave for my epic journey in T-minus 15 hours!!! So, as you could assume, my brain is quite... scattered.

Am I ready to go? Yeahhh right! For anyone that knows me, they'd be confident in saying I leave EVERYTHING to the very last minute I possibly can. I must admit, I am quite proud that at least I have everything I plan to take in One Giant Pile! (thanks Mom for putting up with my countless piles scattered throughout your usually spotless house this past week!)Should I be concerned that I have devoted more room in my suitcases to candy, books, and stuff for the kids than for my stuff? Well... I am not... but my Mom sure is!

I can NOT believe that I am finally going! It is here! I don't think I can thank my parents enough for helping me sooooooo much with getting to this point. They honestly are the BEST in the world. I have never been more excited for anything in my life! My only worry is that I will not be able to handle being apart for Penelope for sooooo long:( Oh and thank you Heather for taking care of my fish while I am gone.

So... Let me do one last run-through of what I need to take:

Backpack: Check
Clothing (including underwear which I ALWAYS forget to pack): Check and Check
Bug Repellent and Bug Net: Check
Sanitizing Water Bottle: Check
Passport: Check
Malaria Pills: Check
Glasses: Check
First Aid Kit: Check
Sheets For my Cot: Check
Spending Money: ..... OH SHIT! Luckily, everything in Africa is dirt cheap and thanks to adderall I know I can go up to 4 days without eating... Oh and I mustn't forget to thank those of you who were able to help me out a little with this one! :)
