Procrastination...

So the time is finally here. I leave for Costa Rica tonight. A trip that has been in the works for like six months. And clearly, I'm not ready. I haven't really packed. I literally have the longest list of things to do, and instead of getting to them, I'm blogging. Yep, and I'm pretty sure this is why I have white hairs at 27. My procrastination has made me skip the whole gray process completely. 

But I haven't yet decided if its my procrastination or just the pure excitement of the trip that has paralyzed any sort of preparation. Then again, maybe its just ADD. I'm sure it happens to everyone. I make a decision to start packing. And this is how it usually pans out...

Grab suitcase. Stare at empty suitcase. Look at hamper full of dirty clothes. Clothes that need to go in empty suitcase. Sort clothes and throw a load in washer. Go back to suitcase. Still empty. Google forecast for trip to plan outfits. Google fun things to do in Costa Rica. Google Monkeys. Google "how to smuggle monkeys" just in case I find one that I like. Remember I have two animals already.  Remember they have no food. Go to Costco to buy food. Buy water, toilet paper and gum. Forget the dog food. Feel bad. Take dogs to beach. On my way home, go to Petco to buy food. Trader Joe's is next door. Buy me food. Buy me way too much food. Go home. Put clothes in dryer. Clean dogs. Clean house. Remember empty suitcase. Remember empty belly. Feed belly. Remember Gossip Girl. Remember One Tree Hill. Remember all the other shows on my DVR. Belly full. Eyes heavy. Suitcase still empty.

So, with that being said, I better get to it. I'm sure the next blog will be full of my Central American adventures. Can't wait to share them with you! 

Adios!
