No way to end a vacation

Well today did not turn out as planned.  Not one little bit!  A friend had clued me in that I was going to be sent to the office in the Twin Cities for work.  I was elated, but for some reason never got my hopes up.  That's because today when I got the deployment notice it said Charleston, WV.  My boss had called about 30 seconds after they sent the notice and deployment would not change their minds.  So instead of driving 50 miles across town, I'm heading 900 out East.  The highlight is I'll be 20 min from a great friend who used to do the same job.  I'm super excited to have her show me around.

Another wrench in the plan is that I got an email for a new week vehicle.  Said vehicle is in Waukesha and I need to pick it up from a dealership.  Um yup not gonna happen.  I've left VM for the person coordinating all of this, but my job and the fact that I already have a vehicle come first.  I talked with my boss and she's ok with that, as is the boss I'm going to be reporting to.  He stated the CAT is only 2 weeks old, but super behind because they don't have enough people.  Yeah no time to drive 4 hours to get a vehicle, then back home, load it up and head out.  I thought about swapping on my way out of town, but I have no clue how big the interior is of the new one.  I could be royally screwed by having too much stuff with me and no place to put it.

I went over and saw BooBoo one last time before I left.  I swear she's grown since Saturday.  She's just so stinking cute.  She says ba all the time and is starting to answer to her own name.  The funniest is her trying to blow a raspberry with her fingers in her mouth.  She's somewhat successful, but mainly gets spit all over me.  She'll be so big by the time I'm back home again in 30 days.  WAH!

I successfully packed in 3 hours, and that includes laundry being finished and folded.  I also loaded up the van and cleaned.  The last things I need to do are clean out the fridge and eat dinner.  I just realized it's 9:15 and haven't even thought of eating.  This is not like me, time to go make the fat girl happy.
