One more week!  We leave the 30th.

I'm exhausted and depleted right now, spent the afternoon running from here to there. I got the coveted pee funnel, it's adorable. I had the livliest and funniest talk with my mom about it. She, like all women, loves the idea. I got some cord to lace through my daypack, like you'd lace a shoe. A friend told me that would be another area to stuff things in, like scarves, extra whatever. I'm not sure I like it, but I don't think it will hurt anything and now I got a bunch of good colorful cord. I also got those clip things, about 4 of them. I think the day pack is ready.

I got pretty wide cloth ribbon to sew into my straw hat so I can tie it under my chin. I got cheap work/garden gloves, safety pins, and a head lamp. I walked into a discount fabric store looking at fur material for my bike seat, but whoa! expensive. This week I'll go to the bike shop, see if they have soft covers. Even though I should be boycotting Target, I'll be there again, maybe there's something furry there I can covert, like a bath rug or something. I haven't been there in over a year, but for this, its unavoidable.

I discovered they don't carry the memory sticks for my Sony camera anymore, I'd have to order from Sony. No time for that. I have about 250 pictures on the card I have, there's one more place I can check, then I think I'll just take disposable cameras. They usually work pretty good.

Tomorrow night, P. and I going food shopping, get that started. I think I'm going to aim to be done buying stuff, end of day Thursday. Arrg. Will this every come together? It's pretty paradoxical, I'm not much of a shopper and one of the things BM is about is anti-consumerism, but you need a million things to get there. 10 million. I've shopped more in 2 weeks than I have in a year.

I better love it, cause I have a lot of stuff for next year. I guess it's a step forward from last year's Yosemite trip as far as the great outdoors goes. And the desert. I've never been to one, super psyched about that...
