Hey Jeff remember when you first posted this and there were 250 days to go. Well Looky Looky you are down to 8 days are you packed yet. You can do the proverbial "Single Digit Dance" 8 Days heck I'll bet you can do that standing on your head in a broom closet. Did you ever think you would get to this mark.

What are you serious? He was probably packed at 249 days, he just had everything hidden from Joe's sight!

Jeffs Happy Dance!

OMG first of all. How Awesome is that countdown?!?!? I have yet to come up with some as aweseme for myself besides my daily Outlook reminder at work! And second of all 8 days!? WHOO HOO! So exciting! And don't worry about being packed early. I started my packing list for this year's vacation last May and I may or may not have packed nearly everything in our suitcases last weekend and I still have 18 17 days to go!!

Update time! Now at 180 days! Here's what the countdown calendar looks like:

We used the Goofy stamp for the first section, and are using Minnie for the second.

The Goofy pin has been the perfect marker.

OMG, that is FANTASTIC! I want one!! yay

THE FINAL WEEK IS HERE! Yay! I'm really excited.

Kristen - Joe has invoked a No Suitcases Until Monday rule. eek eek eek eek

So I've been making piles of things throughout the house.

I've also implemented several pre-trip rules at the office:

1. STAY AWAY FROM ME! Call me or IM me if you need anything. Keep your damn germs away from me!
2. If you do need to physically talk to me, I have a minimum 10 foot personal space circle. And when you leave, I sanitize my hands and wipe everything down.

I declined a meeting today because it was going to be in a conference room with people who flew in from around the country. Airplane germs everywhere!! gaah Sick

Maybe just a bit fanatical? Maybe? But hey, I am finally almost over that %^&#$ virus I got 2 weeks ago and don't want another!

Didi I mention just one more week? EEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeEEEEEEe!!

JEFF! This is crazy exciting! I can't believe it's almost here!

You know, kudos for having your priorities straight and declining that meeting. You are my hero. I'm serious. Life is WAY more important than stuffy old meetings!

Will Joe wear his Vibrams in the park this go around (I've been reading Primal Blueprint and thinking of him!)? Will the kids be boarding at Best Friends again? Can't wait to read about your fun trip. Our weather is GORGEOUS, by the way. mickey

I'm sure I'll get to say it again before you leave (and I LOVE that you're making piles of things owing to the suitcase restriction) but I hope y'all have SUCH a great time. This has been TOO LONG coming for y'all!

OMG!!!!! laugh laugh laugh I feel the same way! I'm like keep your germs to yourself, I've got a trip to Disney to go on and I can't be sick. Even take the Airborne stuff. Not sure if it really works, but makes me feel like it just might so why not?! eh! I even take hand sanitizer to the parks with me. Hey, I believe the stuff works. I work in the medical field for cryin out loud. Been around sick people for 10 years and I usually do not get sick. Wash hands and use sanitizer. silly
