Did you ever see the movie As Good As It Gets with Jack Nicholson?  He plays an OCD neat freak, and there is a scene where he is packing for a weekend getaway. Everything is laid out on his bed in orderly piles, including his toiletries, and as he puts things in the suitcase, he checks them off a list

That's totally me.  Whenever I go away, I have a list of what I need, and I take over the guest room with my piles of necessities.  Right now I'm packing for my trip to NYC, for the More/Fitness Half Marathon, and the bed looks just like Jack's. I thought about taking a picture, but I'll spare you the details.

I'm really excited to get out of town, Jeannine, Norine and I are driving down, and meeting up with my good friends, Jennifer and Jennifer, this will be their first half marathon!  I'll see some of my other friends, and my sister Ali as well.  I'm ready to run, an all women race will be different, although two laps of Central Park might get a bit tiresome, but we'll see.

It will be a great way to end Spring Break, although the kids and I had a lot of fun this week.

We even got to pet an elephant
