so close I can almost taste it

Less than 12 days until I'll be catching an airplane and flying 1500 miles East. So here is my pre-Wisconsin to-do list. 

1. Birthday gifts for: Dad, Elizabeth, and Grandma

2. Graduation gift for Rachie

3. Bridal shower gift for Jenny

3. Make a rough itinerary of places to go and people to see! (Not enough time there to try and be spontaneous)

4. Drop Ella off at the in-laws (single tear...)

5. Stay focused at work (I feel like I have senoritis. I'm so close to my week vacation that I'm starting to slack...not good for the kids I work with!)

6. Pray. Pray. Pray. Seek God. A lot going on, prayer is needed. 

7. Get vegetable garden going

8. Stay away from the pet stores (there seems to be a plethora of adorable kittens that need adopting)

9. KEEP RUNNING!!!! (I've been a slacker since the race...just as I predicted)

10. To help me with number 9, register for another race. It just needs to be done. 

So there is my top 10 things I hope (need!) to accomplish in 12 days. 

And, as a side note, I felt I owed Yakima a little lovin' for the sweet little coffee shop, Northtown Coffee. I'm sure if I ever lived in Yakima...(please Lord, no)...I would be visiting the shop frequently.
