24 days til I leave for Malawi! 

Right now I'm experimenting with my hair to see what I can do with it without a hairdryer/flat iron/etc. 

Ahhh, I can't wait for the 21st! :)

Twenty-six days til I leave for Malawi! 

My plane ticket is booked, so now all I have to do is practice my Chichewa! :)

27 days

27 days til I leave for Malawi! By the grace of God, I'm taking care of details.

I'm feeling like a slacker

All of my friends are starting blogs and it's making me feel like a slacker for not posting more often on my own.

So here we go.

I really don't like details. I am such a big picture person. That's why I chose Heritage over IDS. That's why I can help Megan plan her life, but can't remember to put a liner in the trash can.  That's why I'm going to Malawi, but don't want to plan this trip. I don't want to mail out support letters, I don't want to get my paperwork notarized, I don't want to make an appointment at the doctor for vaccines, I don't want to bother with credit cards and money and booking plane tickets. I just want to GO. I need a personal assistant to handle all of this planning.

I am now accepting applications for the position.

Meanwhile, I'll be tending to details.
