...I wait in the ferry line:

Watch Talladega Nights on the laptop.

Pluck my eyebrows.

Surreptitiously try to pop the pimples on my chin. Where the hell did these things come from?

Search for the baggie containing the bedframe hardware and the hex key that will allow bedframe assembly. Search unsuccessfully and resign myself to waiting until I can actually unpack the car.

Find my new book and decide to not read it yet.

Compulsively check the Dept of Health website to see if my license has become active. It hasn't. Wait...it still hasn't. Has it? No, it hasn't. It still hasn't.

Change from shortie overalls (made 'em myself) and Earth sandals to jeans, socks and navy blue Chuck Taylor oxfords.

Eat an eight-grain roll and a kiwi/strawberry/mango fruit cup while sipping my grande drip coffee with 2%.

Apply hand lotion.

Refrain from checking the Dept of Health website...(three minute gap in typing)...nope, still not active.

Read and respond to Debby's blog entry about the 6-stop trip.

Start the car and get on the ferry.
