We're off

Estimated departure time: 12:00 PM
Actual departure time: 1:30 PM

Did an intervention with myself when we were in Target at 11:50 AM getting last minute things (had not packed car yet) and realized that we were not leaving civilization to drive from Atlanta to NYC and, yes, there would be yet another Target along the way. In all fairness, stuck around in the morning to do some last minute paint color selections for downstairs so that can get done while we are away. I'm seeing blues and greens in my sleep. Still can't believe that we chose Florida Keys Blue for Orly's room. Think robin's egg blue. Much better.

Bought GPS and still getting used to defying it. I hate confrontations. But she seems to recover well when I go off route. Maybe "recalculate" which is what she says when we veer off route should be my new mantra.

10 minutes outside Atlanta Kathryn G calls to say how much she is looking forward to having dinner with us in Brooklyn tonight. Oops, guess my scheduling wasn't all that great. Wrong week. We definitely won't make Brooklyn by 6 PM.
