Trying to take over the world...

I feel like Pinky and the brain tonight. Random, yes but not really and here's why:

Mom: What are you doing tonight?
Me: The same thing I've do every night....
My brain: Try to take over the world... heeheehee
Me: ..... selling my stuff!

So last night, as I worked on selling my stuff, Landon was quite concerned that I'm not going to have anymore "stuff". It was quite cute. So being the loving aunt that I am, I tried to teach him that stuff does not buy happiness. He didn't believe me and then he asked me to make him a Batman costume.

How could I say no to Batman? I made a batman mask out of paper and dental floss, a batman logo for his shirt out of paper with the help of tape, and a bat-arang out of paper which he proceeded to throw as he flew throughout the room.

I'm so excited that it's finally the weekend. This week I haven't been sleeping well. I've been having bad dreams...... about packing. LOL Here's some examples to show you what I mean:

It's the night before I move and I have nothing packed, so I'm still trying to shove everything into suitcases right before we have to leave for the airport. My Dad's telling me it's not going to work and I'm like "it has to!" (honestly this one is quite possible....)

or

I get to the airport and they tell me I'm only allowed to take one bag and I'm standing there with five. Everyone is already gone, since now-a-days we're just dropped off at the airport, seriously no one waits. I'm frantically trying to figure out what to do with my bags since I can't take them. I'm shoving things from the other bags into my big one but then they tell me it's too big and I need to take the small one. I have no phone to call my family to come back to the airport to help me, I'm frustrated and near tears while I try to tell the airport guy that I'm going to be gone for awhile I need more than one small bag. But he's not budging so I desperately try to figure out how to get as much stuff as possible into the small bag and what to take with me. While I'm doing this he's standing above me, not helping at all, and he tells me "you better hurry you're plane is about to leave" and I haven't even gone through security yet!

I think these dreams have stemmed from me trying to get all my non-essential stuff sold or up for sale online by the last day of August. September is my play month, I don't want to be worrying about going through my stuff. So I've been frantically trying to go through all of my bins and get everything online. I think I'm doing a pretty good job even though I'm a bit behind schedule. I was supposed to be done by tonight but that didn't happen. I can still finish up before August is over though!

Have I told you lately that you are an amazing aunt?!
You're so cute. Everything is going to come together swimmingly!

Oh that is a good question!? How do you get on a plane that allows one bag when you have five...but the later plane allows you to have more bags? Your guess is as good as mine! Pay for the other ones....and it costs you a ginormous amount?

I came with 3 bags. No one sent me any boxes after I was here. I did go home last summer and brought an extra bag to grab some extra clothes and things. I don't remember what those things were now....It is all just stuff.

Can't wait till you're here!

I hate it when I fret and they turn into dreams... so not fair to intrude on precious sleep. You will get it all done... I just know it! Sorry I missed your presale!
