The VaChina Monologues

I am making a dent in things:

• Order virgin money at the bank and allow every teller to 'oooh' and 'ahhh' over my Pipaliciousness - check
• Get additional awful passport photos for the dossier travel folder (as though the first ones weren't hideous enough ;) - check
• Return ginormous bag of triplicate gifting. I appreciate it all but we'll have to trade a few things for items that will be more useful in the future - check
• Clear closet space and makes donations to local organizations (it really was time to let go of that beautiful size 2 wardrobe from about 5 years ago) - check and reality check ;0)
  
• Upgrade cell phone plan only to be informed the per-minute China rate is $1.99 in addition. Promptly cancel plan upgrade and cozy up to the idea of Skype - check
• Reschedule hair appointment to week before China because I am thinking it may be the last time for a little longer than usual ;0) - check
• Take care of getting my girl on the health insurance - check
• Make a dent in the list of Thank-You cards to go out - check
• Get more travel details - check :0)

So, I'm coming along. Not everything is perfect and exactly how it would look in my fantasy world. But, I'm quite good with my reality and not much else matters besides getting to that beautiful girl of mine.
