Less than 24 hours!

And we're off to nationals!

The hotel reservations have been made.
The laundry is done (finally!).
The dogs are groomed.
The bags are packed (more or less).
The van is loaded (sort of.)
The cooler is ready to be filled (note to self: buy ice.)
The good clothes are on hangers.
The weather forecast has been checked.
The rain gear is packed on top.
The dogs have been FrontlinePlus-ed.
The people snacks are in a bag. A big bag.
I found a good book on CD at the library yesterday.
The map and directions are . . . um . . . somewhere.
The pile of little "don't forget" stuff is on the kitchen counter.
The house has been cleaned (sort of).
The garbage has been emptied.
The houseplants have been watered.
The garden plants have been seen to.
The e-mails have been caught up (as much as they ever are.)
My list has been checked and double-checked.
Wonder what I'm forgetting?
Guess that's what Wal-Mart is for!

This afternoon Phoenix and I are going to train, then run a few errands in Cedar Rapids. Tomorrow morning we're off to pick up my aunt, have lunch with my mom, then head south. I am so excited about seeing Catherine and CJ again, plus meeting a bunch more Carousel folks and their dogs.

I'd love to post from nationals but since I don't have a laptop, not sure how that's going to happen. We're doing agility Thursday and Friday, obedience on Saturday, plus two seminars. Should get home Saturday evening.

Will write with all the details when we get back. Good luck to everyone showing at Scott County KC's first ever dual obedience trials this weekend. Twice the chance to succeed!

  3. Hope you have a great time and get to see/do everything you want. Hoping the weather also cooperates for you but good thinking of putting the rain gear on top! So when you pack the van, make sure the "big bag" of people snacks is close at hand. Will look forward to hearing about all your adventures.
