Roadtrip preparation: T minus 9 days

Today I decided to buckle down and start packing up my apartment and planning my roadtrip.  Here's what I accomplished:

1. Realized I left my (broken) camera at my parent's house in Maryland, and that I'd need a camera to document my trip.  Contemplated an old-school disposable camera, but decided I couldn't wait to get film developed because I need to be able to post pictures on my blog daily (ish).  Went to target in search of a cheap digital camera (read: low megapixel digital cameras meant for children).   Barely resisted buying an AWESOME $40 Crayola camera in favor of a $30, 5.1 megapixel Vivitar camera.

2.  Decided I needed a packing snack, so stopped at the grocery store to buy Kale and came home to dehydrate some kale chips.  Took a really creepy picture of me eating kale to test out my new camera.  Mediocre at best, but well worth the $30 (actuallllly about $27 after discovering a Santa Claus target gift card with just over 3 dollars left on it...presumably, from Christmas).

3.  Stopped at 7-11 to redeem a free lottery ticket, that I won on another lottery ticket in December, that I got at my boss' boss holiday party.  Contemplated waiting to scratch off my new lottery ticket, then heard Gwen Stefani's "What you waiting for" on the radio and realized for first time that she repeatedly sings "Take a chance you stupid ho."   Yelled back at the radio, 'I'm not a ho!' but still took it as a sign to immediately scratch off my lottery ticket.

4. Got depressed at my losing lottery ticket and remembered I could sing less insulting Gwen Stefani songs on my karaoke machine at home.  Immediately went home to sing karaoke and cheer myself up.

5. Threw a bunch of stuff on my apartment floor to begin organizing and packing, but realized I was too tired from karaoke.  Reasoned that I accomplished alot for the day and gave up to sit on my couch and watch Modern Family reruns.

Yep.   I'm productive.
