The big decision though that I have not made is which purse I'll be taking with me for the plane as my personal carry item. I want it to be large enough to house some souvenears and my actual crossbody bag inside it. I have like three in the running so got to decide that tonight. Mo purses, mo problems

You just described my life.

Things that make me go "STOP IT!"
1) Halloween party tickets go live today and I buy them for fear of a sell out on Halloween night.
2) My friend emails me asking for my portion of my friend's bachelorette party that isn't until June so they can do the down payment.
3) I realize I need to buy two wedding shower presents next week as soon as I get back from my trip.

I DON'T WANT TO SPEND MONEY ON ANYTHING BUT TINK STUFF AND CHURROS RIGHT NOW....STOP IT WORLD!!

And thus ends this edition of "First World Problems Theatre"

When it rains, it pours. And you are making it rain!

 

[Anisum]

I'm so excited for you! It sounds like you're ready to go!

I personally like the pom poms better than the wings but both work. I just think pom poms are more unique at least usually. Maybe not during a Tinkerbell race though? I hope your wings work out well with your test run. They look like a reasonable size.

Sending you pixie dust for good luck!

Hopefully "curvy me" will look awesome too! (Is that the appropriate opposite of "flat me?"

Curvy is always better than flat (hope that doesn't cross a line)

Adulting sucks. Also, wedding are so expensive. I understand the traditions completely and was so thankful for everything done for me when we got married... But there has to be a better way!

When it rains, it pours. And you are making it rain!

When you have an angel on your shoulder saying "SAVE THAT MONEY" and then you got Donna Meagle on the other shoulder:

And yes @run.minnie.miles adulting is not quite as fun as a free-ride being a kid. But I keep having to remind myself that I'd rather plunk down the annoying wedding related swag than not be invited to the fun. I haven't met a shower related dessert plate and open bar I have not enjoyed. Just wish it was like three months from now instead of during my Tink time!

You forgot ME



Seriously, I hope you have a great trip, you're going to crush that half!! And have a drink at Trader Sam's for me

 

[roxymama]

@MommaoffherRocker I will gladly have something at Trader Sam's just for you

I forgot Race Wings on my list! Penciling those in!

 

[SarahDisney]

List looks good! I'd say if you have room, grab a shopping bag or grocery bag or something for the race to carry all of your post-race crap (snack box, water, powerade, whatever else they give you at the end).
Also ... let me know if you have room for me in your suitcase.

 

[Ariel484]

That list is a thing of beauty.

 

[Anisum]

The item that stands out most to me is good undies. This is the most important thing for me when I travel to races.

I assume you don't use KT Tape or any other variation of tape because that's not on the list. Other than that I think you've got it all.

You wouldn't happen to fit in an overhead bin would you?

I need lists...lists are life. Every time I don't have a list I leave my bathing suit at home. Every time.

I can tell you specifically every run where I had on the wrong undies...it really does matter!
No KT tape yet in my running life...I'm lucky that any of my little aches or pains have been mostly short lived. Knock on wood.

Maybe? If it's an extra large overhead bin?

 

[run.minnie.miles]

I also love a good list! (I also love a daily paper planner... but that's for a different time)

Anyway... Do you need headphones for either the race or plane? Any prescription medicines? I also pack imodium in case I have a weird stomach and need it. (TMI?)

SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!

PS Happy Mother's Day early! Sweet roxykiddo is lucky to have such a strong woman as her mama.

Awwww man, hitting me right in the feels. Thanks for saying that! Roxykiddo has her first soccer practice tonight so I'm excited to see how she does. Got a little confidence going after her strong showing at the piglet race

I am packing my earbuds for sure. I probably will not put them in until I'm out of the parks. Listening to music tends to make me too fast out the gate...and I have a game plan now for starting off not too crazy.

 

[disneydaydreamer33]

Your list is awesome! Making lists in regards to vacation is one of my favorite activities ever. It's even more fun though when the trip is in the same week!!

And a coyote sighting on your run?? Eek!! I would've been freaked out!

Cheering you on in a major way for you to have a fantastic race weekend!!
