Headed to Kansas for a few days

This week, I'm headed home to Kansas for a few days. My main reason? Well, two actually. My hair is in dire need of highlighting and a trim. And I have a dentist appt. I scheduled over a year ago. I know, I know....I have yet to make the switch to Colorado Springs for either one.

 The really funny thing about the whole-go-home-to-get-your-hair-done thing? Terri, one of my friends from Dodge, drives to Colorado Springs to get her hair done. And me? I drive from Colorado Springs to Dodge to get my hair done! When we discovered our criss-crossing paths, we just about died laughing! AND decided maybe we should switch salons...you know, since we do live in each other's cities. Makes sense, huh?

I'm also hoping to fit in some visiting time with Dad, Erinn, Grandma and another one of my friends, Jean Ann. I'm going to be there four days (including travel time); I think I'm trying to squeeze quite a bit in! Plus I plan to do some cooking/baking for Dad while I'm home. Leave him with a week's supply. The last couple of days, I've been cooking/baking to leave Luke with a fridge full of food. Now I'll take my very same list and do the same for Dad's fridge. ;)

Then I'll also have to find some time to find a couple things that I left behind in Kansas (or at least have been unable to find here since I moved). And pack my car full with more of my stuff. Like shipping envelopes and boxes. And teaching/classroom supplies. And like ALL the boxes AND boxes of lights from my wedding! I'm confident that I have enough to cover our house in icicles and half the houses on our street! And those are just icicles. That doesn't count the 20+some boxes of 400 count single strand lights. Add those in and if we actually turned ALL those on at the same time? Our neighbors I'm sure wouldn't appreciate the results of an electricity surge and blowout. :)

Every time I go back home, Luke keeps asking me just how many trips I have of my stuff to bring back with me. In June, I told him just a couple. Since then I've been home three times. And I think as of this trip, I'll just have a couple left. I think I should have moved with two trailer loads instead of one trailer load and half a dozen car trips. Oh well. It will all eventually get here. And now that I've moved out, Dad has PLENTY of room to store it til I need it. ;)
