Oh people. Shannon has so much to do. Tomorrow is going to be Busy Beyond Belief. (don't you just LOVE alliteration??) Seriously, I have gobs of things to do, seeing as it's the LAST day before we leave for Baltimore! Yip, yip, YIP!! Do you see me doing my happy jig? Oh, I am. I'm all a-bubble about it - all of it. Even the flying. I've flown twice (once as an infant), and the other time about seven years ago. So, it's kind of a novelty for me. I'm nervous, but not worried. I am doing everything I can to make sure it goes smoothly, and the rest will take care of itself. I'll be glad to just sit back and enjoy the show...

Now listen. I know you are all going to be horribly disappointed, but APOG will be hibernating while I'm gone. I know, I know. It's a devastating blow to the internet community. I can recommend a few good support groups to get you through this week, and I encourage you to band together in this difficult time. This is also an excellent opportunity to immerse yourselves in the archives, which are full of yummy entries. Lotsa good stuff to nibble on till I get back. And in return, I promise to find buckets of stuff to blog about while I'm on my adventure. Lots of pictures, and plenty of stories to tell. Trust me on that one. You can't displace a genteel Southern belle such as I into the heart of DC and Baltimore and not have a few good stories to show for it.

Well darlings, I should run. My baby birds have their mouths wide open at me, and I have to go scare up some worms or something.

I'll blog again before I leave Tuesday, but in the meantime, here's the picture I promised of the Snaggletooth.
