Lee and I were sitting around Saturday morning sipping our coffee and playing online, when we got the sudden wild hair to take a vacation. We need a vacation. Just a get away. We haven't taken one since I quit work. We have been stashing money in saving for a nice vacation for 3 1/2 years now and have decided it's big enough to take a slice out of. After looking around at possible destinations, we agree that we want a tropical location. We like the idea of an island. We also don't need or want the "family friendly" environment. We want the honeymoon experience. We never actually took a honeymoon. Although, we have taken a lot of vacations, most of which we found romantic. When we went to Disney, we stayed at the Swan. We bounced around between the Swan and the Dolphin resort, loving every minute of the fancy restaurants and the pool where drinks were served to us. We never even went to the park. We'd both been there, done that. There again, we can be just as content with a six pack, tortilla chips and strip of sand in PC. The topic came up that a trip to Puerto Rico does not require a passport, but we don't know anyone who has been there. We decided to get our passports out of the way yesterday. Here it is....I forgot to fill in hair color. I'd like to think it will not be a problem, what with the two photos and copy of my license, but who knows. I was having a difficult time getting to sleep last night. I am on the heaviest days of my period, so I sleep lightly, worrying about wrecking the bed, plus my cousin's son killed himself yesterday. It was about 1:30 am when I realized what I had done. Panic! It wouldn't be so bad, but I the last group of people I worked with were so uptight about every-frickin'-thing being "just so" that when I make mistakes now, not only do I worry about getting in trouble, but I beat myself up for being so stupid. Who skips a question like that, to go back to, and then doesn't even look over the application before submitting it? Who screws up something that costs over $100 to apply for? Me. Classic me. My phone number is on there, surely they can just call and fill it in. How bad could it be? I have no idea. I googled it...it appears that nobody else has done this. If they did, they didn't realize it, so unlike my freak self they weren't up at 2 in the morning googling, "submitted incomplete us passport application" and the like. Lee acts like it's not a big deal. He's the laid back one, but maybe I should follow his lead more. But I can't ask that of myself on my crazy week. I shouldn't have been applying for a passport on my crazy week. What was I thinking!
On a lighter note, the little bag I am making are so cute! I made a pattern for a larger bag. Love it. I took Anna's to Allison yesterday. I made it from one of her old dresses and lined it with some pink satin I had been saving for many years. I am calling them booshi bags. I am making another large one today and have 5 small ones cut out to put together, also. I plan to sell the small ones for $10 a piece and the large for $20. I love them!
