i'm wide awake. not close to going to bed. but i am all packed.
mark is sleeping on the couch with all the lights on.
mom and kendal slept right through me banging around in the closet
to put away shoes, etc. so the fairel girls won't get a hold of them.
Dad is sleeping (and snoring) in his bed...
i'm trying to think of things I forgot to pack.
I'd hate to get all the way to cali and realize i forgot something important...
