Prepping for Portland

Despite the relatively early hour and the list of things that need done before we can depart for Portland on Wednesday, my body--full of exhaustion and turtle soup--is telling me it is time for bed. This weekend took its toll on me. After opening the bakery and closing the bar on Saturday, we went to the St. Mary's picnic in Brussels on Sunday. Even though it was hot and I felt terrible, we had a good time visiting with friends and family. I made a poor showing at the all-you-can-eat family-style dinner. I'm pretty sure Skylar ate more than I did.

Today was a short and quiet day at the bakery followed by a couple hours of errands. I got in a quick nap when I got home for which I am very grateful. Tara has been getting everything ready for our trip. She works really hard keeping up with the housework and the kids and still manages to plan for every contingency. I wouldn't be able to do anything without her.

Adam is getting ready to leave for Carbondale as I type this, and Larry and Anne go back to Florida in the morning. We will miss them all, but we will see Adam briefly next week.

This post is also my test run for dlvr.it. Apparently it will send posts from my Blogger blog to my Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, and Buzz accounts. I've been desiring such a service since I started making regular updates, so I hope it works the way I want it to.

I should probably get up and start doing something more productive. I might have something to say later, but I will more than likely fall asleep before I manage to get it down. Until next time,

I'm all in.
