Packing Up, Leaving Town

The clothes are packed, the birthday present hidden in the suitcase, errands run, snacks bought. We're packing up and getting out of this small town and hitting a big city tomorrow!!!

We still have to pack our snacks. Going for total health here (NOT) I bought a bag of Baked Cheetos. Oh, I haven't had them in ages. I will weigh out the proper portion and put it into a sandwich bag.

Since we're on the road, I didn't want to bake and take a cake, so at the store, my son requested a box of Twinkies! Yes, I bought the box. No, I won't eat one. I have never liked Twinkies. Ding Dongs--yes, Twinkies--no. We have the candles ready to go, too.

Like the last time I left town, I am weighing out my cereal with a sprinkle of Splenda on it and putting it in Gladware. So easy to take with me to the breakfast bar in the motel, where I can have some of their fruit to go with. =)

Also, we'll be packing lunch fixings. Bread, meat, cheese, chips and if I have enough Gladware, some salad, too.

Dinners we'll eat out. Olive Garden, which I can handle well, one night. The next, Fuddruckers. I forget who gave the link (sorry!) to the nutritional info for Fuddruckers, but after perusing that site, I've decided I'll indulge in a kid's meal--if they'll sell it to me. More points than it's worth, but that's where DS really wants to go. You can't quit living life, and I love their burgers, so that's a happy substitute. =)

My baby isn't a baby anymore. He'll be 14. I just can't believe how fast childhood is.

I know we'll have lots of fun!

Cross your fingers for me, as the day we leave town, we're hitting thrift stores. I printed out the Google Map with all the thrift stores, and I'm hoping that I can fulfill my obsession with The FIRM and find some more tapes!

Have a great week, everyone, and I'll be back Friday!
