Didn't I have a plan to finish at least up to Chapter Five of my novel? Yeah, that went well. I'm not even packed for Friday's flight and I'm thinking about finishing half a novel by then? And April thought she was crazy....
But I am taking my notes and already-written chapters on the plane. Hopefully, I'll have some time to myself during my vacation to write. Even if I just look at my notes and think about what to write, it'll be an accomplishment. But I am totally serious about finishing the whole thing by March. And I think I can do it. If I think I can, then I can, right? No psyching myself out about this, because once I'm in Norway... Well, I certainly won't be thinking about my novel. Nope, I'll be thinking about all the Svens and Bjorns and Haakons I could be dating. :)
Doubtful.
I need to buy my plane ticket to Portland today. I think I'll do that after I post this. I'm going up for a long weekend to see Jen, we can do the pre-wedding stuff together. I'll need her input on what kind of bachelorette party she wants and how much cooler it'll be than the guys' party. :) I'm so totally gonna outdo any party Jen's ever been to. And it's not going to be your typical stripper-as-cop party. I have some time to put a super magnificent party together. That is something I'm excited about - being the maid of honor. Hopefully when Jen has kids, I'll be Auntie Liz. That would be fun.
And then I'm thinking of going to Ripon like the last week in February, then flying back here for a day or so and then flying to London. Sue and Alan can overnight me before driving me to the cheap Ryanair airport to go to Oslo. The one-way to Oslo on Ryanair is like five dollars or something outrageous like that. So, I'd much rather do that and only pay for a $500 SFO-LHR ticket. Like I don't have another one of those to pay off before I go. I need to pay my mom again. One more check for $100 and we're even.
Ok, Cheryl is here. Work...
