There's a disturbance in the force

I would not call what I am going through a freak-out. It's kinda a mini-freak out. Well, actually not even that. I like to call it a disturbance in the force.

The question that comes up often these days is "are you excited?" And the answer usually is "I'm equal parts excited and terrified." Which you musical theatre fans realize is very similar to how Little Red Riding Hood felt about the Wolf in Into the Woods. (You're singing now, aren't you?)

Well today, I am more terrified than excited.

Tomorrow my car gets picked up for transport so I pack my trunk tonight after Grilled Cheese Night at Souper Jenny and truly live out of two suitcases until I leave next Wednesday. There are tons of things that I still have to do as well as tons of things that I will never do.

However, let's keep positive with what I HAVE done. And the lovely LIST...

COMPLETED
Hike Stone Mountain and Nikoli's Roof-- There is a blog about these. Read on...
The Zoo -- Our fair Zoo is a mix of lame and really cool. It still feels that some of the cages are uber small and the animals are too constricted. The gorillas were fun to watch and I could stare at the smelly otters all day.
Luckie -- A perfect pair for the a trip to the aquarium. The service needs a little work and the menu needs a major cutting, but the food was great and the atmosphere is very hip. Stephanie Davis was the perfect dining companion.
Kyma -- Ah, another Buckhead Life Group restaurant. I did not see the same pretentiousness as we saw at Bluepoint, thankfully. Jenn and I shared the Meze Plate of 5 different menu selections. I overate, but luckily we only had a glass of wine a piece rather than an entire bottle. That way we have some room for the yummy Espresso Martinis!

SCHEDULED
Ann's Snack Shop and movies at the Starlight Drive-in -- 7/28 with Angela and Chris
The Kangaroo Conservation Center -- 7/31 with Erin

NEED TO SCHEDULE
The High Museum
Greenwood's on Green

LETTING GO
Zuma or Fune
Pericles at GA Shakespeare

Um, T-minus 6 days.

What great musical to represent your current predicament.

Into the woods,
It's time to go,
I hate to leave,
I have to, though.

Into the woods
It's time, and so
I must begin my journey.
