You know you're ready to leave Grenada when....

-400 US doesn't sound too bad for an electric bill responsible for running three fans, a refrigerator and three energy-saving give you a headache fluorescent lights
-Sara starts making maternity clothes from my old shirts
-Sara is "making" a baby
-You start thinking that maybe Alaska wouldn't be such a bad place to live after all
-You don't let a few battery explosions, knocks and pings, and loose bolts stop you from driving your car
-You're in the car with Zane in a rainstorm and you are as wet in the car as out, but you don't really think it's abnormal, and instead just adjust yourself so the stream of water coming from the roof of the car isn't falling directly on you
-None of your clothes fit, and they all stink the un-washable stink
-Your arches have given under pressure
-You say "good-night" when you see people out at night
-You actually buy a Nigel painting (Dustin!!)
-You laugh for a good hour when Lexi does a simple and polite hand gesture out her car window
-You enter a touristy shop
-There are fewer home-made decorations around your apartment
-Sara doesn't want to keep every cereal box, bottle, and possible craft fodder
-Your nightmares are about your plane never leaving, or some huge civil unrest on May 15th
-you've checked your passport expiration date 12 times and you still have 10 weeks
-Renny wears a watch
-you actually come to the realization that you WILL miss certain people and things!

I thought Sara might want some Maternity clothes before she got back to the states...my $5 target pants make me so happy:)

Yep, definitely time to leave. I'd be ready to go too if I had to make maternity clothes out of my husbands old shirts.

This was too funny. I may have to add onto it on my blog. Do you want to borrow some clothes? They might still be too big but at least they'd be women's!

Jayson better watch out for his birthday present: an enlarged framed original Nigel painting!
