i realize i'm only going camping for the weekend, and yet it seems to be taking me the entire evening to get ready. what's the deal with that!?!?
i began attending my church youth group the september i entered grade 7. every year my youth group went camping labour day long-weekend. 7 consecutive years we went camping, it was a stomping ground where friendships were formed, along with countless crushes. our favourite site was always murphy's point provincial park. every other year we'd try a new place, but we always ended up going back to murphy's point. it's been 10 years since my last camping trip with them, and i haven't been since. until now. it's going to be different: the dynamics, the circumstances, the people. but the heart is the same, and i'm really looking forward to it. i always loved those camping trips. now that i realize it's been a decade, i'm kind of disappointed. it wasn't because of lack of desire.
i only had two teacups (so the equivalent of one mug) of tea today, and it didn't even bother me. i concluded that although my body is addicted to caffeine, psychologically i'm not. i drank water instead, and didn't even care! it's just kind of annoying because i'm having to deprive myself from a beverage i enjoy because of a substance in it i could care less about. it's not like quiting smoking or eliminating salt, i wasn't intentionally consuming caffeine. oh well, all the rationalization or justification in the world won't curb my withdrawl.
GET OFF THE INTERNET!

Don't worry - I always give myself a whole day to get ready for a weekend away. I have three little distractions, mind you!
i think i get distracted at the best of times :S
it IS a relief that it's not just me. i COULD go just with the utter basics, but i'd enjoy it more if i had everything i want with me. i prefer having unused extras than kicking myself for not bringing something.
