Yes, I know I am a slacker. I was so speechless from that book yesterday that I didn’t even post a Wordless Wednesday picture. SO I figured I would tie it in with my Thursday Thirteen of things that I am taking to Puerto Rico. I am doing it this week since I will be busy next week and may not get a chance to tell you!
- Digital camcorder

- Digital camera
- At least 4 pairs of shoes
- MP3 player
- Rechargeable batteries & charger
- Extra towels
- Sunglasses *if I can find them :(*
- Sunscreen
- Toothbrushes *must NOT forget*
- Sometimes I Act Crazy Book
- Moleskine notebooks
- Earplugs
- Motion sickness tablets *for the mountain driving*
I still have to find some concert tickets for Husby. I am hoping against hope that there is at least one reggaeton concert when we get down there.
If you are getting tired of me yammering on and on about my trip… sorry!

Here is my Thursday Thirteen of things I need to do or purchase before our trip to Puerto Rico:
- Luggage, I must buy carry ons before we go. See my thoughts here.
- Motion sickness meds. I hear that the constant up and down on the mountains will make you wretchedly sick.
- Set up kennel care for the dog.
- Earplugs. I must have those before I go anywhere.
- Figure out what to do with my mail. Can you request that the mail place hold your stuff till you return? Checking that out later.
- Clothes… what am I going to take to wear???
- Batteries for the camera *of course*.
- Find Internet access. I must have it or I will be so far behind when I get back that I will never catch up. Might end up getting a wifi card for the broke down laptop.
- If I can make enough money by then I will buy a newer laptop. Thank God for my newfound steady income! No more worries about making that bill and have extra for myself SQUEEEE!
- Try to talk hubby into getting me an mp3 player.
- Alert our trustworthy neighbors that we will not be home so they can watch for any devious activity.
- Make sure all the bills are up to date so we don’t have any surprises when we return.
- Figure out what we are going to do with our car when we leave…cuz I am not trying to pay for storage or whatever till we get back.

Here is my Thursday Thirteen of things I need to do with my tax money:
- Buy a newer car
- Fix my other car
- Buy the baby’s homeschool kit
- Buy the tickets for Puerto Rico
- Pay the electric bill
- Pay the cable bill
- Pay the insurance
- Put some aside for just in case
- Get the stuff to do my hair again
- Buy the dog a better bed
- Buy some more sturdy squeaky toys for the dog
- Go out to dinner with my boo
- Buy clothes for me and hubby
That sounds like a lot to do with a little money. Money doesn’t go very far once you divide it into its designated uses. All of a sudden you look around and you only have 20 bucks for gas.
