[12/17/05] What's up

I drove to Alabama today. I'm visiting my best bud and my second family for a few days. Then I'm flying home to Orlando next week to spend Christmas and New Year's with my parents, grandparents, siblings, etc. Why is it that the week before a vacation is always so stinkin' chaotic and stressful? Can't we do something about that? Yesterday I was about to burst, but today I'm on vacation and ready to chill.
