Or...but why is it so hard to figure out a budget?
Well, not really a budget, because I have a budget. Actually, I have a surplus of budgeted funds. Such that I already have enough in the vacation savings to accomodate putting a deposit down on a bounceback vacation. Hee hee. I love it when my evil plans come to fruition...muhahaha! Pirate!
So, anyway, I still need to figure out exactly how much cash to bring and DH is of no help. Whatever you think, honey. Oy. The one time I actually ask for an opinion.
Now, I've budgeted a little over $300 for our various tips/gratiuties/transportation. Set, done, finito. I guess what I'm looking at is extra spending money. The little things. Like a glass of champagne with dinner, you know? So I need to figure in for that.
Tonight I rolled our coin, and have about $9 to add to the vacation savings and $20 in quarters that will be coming with us for laundry. I thought about bringing more quarters, but God willing, I won't be doing that much laundry. And some of DS' clothes are so light (and most likely I'll only be washing his shorts/undies) that I could easily hang them to dry. For which I plan to bring some extra hangers, and clothespins. I got that on a thread somewhere, can't remember now. I think I need to add that to the packing list.
I do have things pretty much well in hand. I picked up our last minute items from
WalMart, and everything is congregating in one area in the shoeboxes in the bedroom. DS' sneakers came yesterday, so we're all set on that front. On Saturday, I'll go to the Dollar Tree and get us loaded up with snacks.
I still need to make Tink & Missy's gifts but that should be pretty quick, I'm not worried.
Checked the weather forecast for the first time...I can't believe I haven't been more obsessed about that, but I'm not. What will be will be. There's been so many hurricane warnings, watches, etc, that I just expect it to be bad. So if it's good, it'll be a pleasant surprise. I do see the forecast calls for thunderstorms daily, but that's Florida in September. Again, so not phased.
I am amazed at how calm I am about everything. I guess I'm just so excited it's finally here I feel at peace with a lot of things right now. And that feels pretty darn good.
Looking forward to a pirate's life for three.

And leaving the bartendar (now at Citrico's!) wondering...
but why is the rum always gone?
