Michael and I are completely packed and ready to go!
I've spent the last day and a half packing our clothes, doing laundry, yada yada yada...hey - maybe his being sick isn't so bad after all
Saturday I started getting outfits together and laying them out on the bed in the spare room. Now my spare room was getting smaller while I was doing this. As you'll notice, the closet door is open...I've got extra pillows I've been storing in there, then "leftovers" from my cleaning out Michael's clothes...stuff to go on Ebay that I haven't listed yet. So I kind of shoved stuff to the side by the closet and got down to packing. Of course I paid for that today when I had to actually get rid of all that "other" stuff!
First I worked on my stuff....putting outfits together and spreading 'em all out so I could see what I had and what I still wanted out...
Oh, and here's what a packing dork I am...I turn everything "outside in" when I pack. Why? Who the heck knows...it's a habit. I can not NOT do it!
Then I weeded it all out, took what I wanted and loaded up my suitcases. Oh, check out my new luggage! I got them a few months ago - Disney had a $55 sale and I scooped 'em up. Now I'm kind of sorry I didn't get another set as well.
So where was I? Ah yes, I packed up my stuff...
Yep - I fit all of my clothes into this one suitcase!!
However, that leaves shoes and "stuff"... Now this is where I admit that I was wrong...so, so, so very wrong for teasing Tracy about her shoes she was packing for her trip...
This is the group that I've narrowed out from the rest that I want to take
Note to self...clean the beat up, favorite white flip flops so as not to be confused with a homeless person... Ahem...anywhoooo....I'm still trying to weed these out...like the black shoes up top...they're now out. I think...
The white/red flips? Are they really necessary? Well, they DO go with the white/red outfit(s) I've got packed. So? Well, they're small and don't take up much room...losing the popularity race, believe it or not, is the red
Crocs
I know! I can't believe I said it either. I love 'em...they're so comfy, but...they look like clown shoes on my feet! There! I said it!
Ok, so I'll leave the shoes for now...on to Michael's things.
First I made all his outfits up...pretty much the same I did for my clothes...
Now when I lay out Michael's clothes, I go through my calendar and mark up the gallon sized Ziploc bags that his clothes will go into. That way, in the morning I can get him ready to go in an instant and focus on more important things. Like ME for example!!
So after I "bag 'em and tag 'em"...then I loaded up his suitcase...
So I have us "out of the way", but I still have to pack a bag for the hotel we're staying at the night before too! With that done, I put the suitcases aside and go through my extra stuff that I'm bringing down...things like coffee, creamer, etc...
Michael's camera, my camera charger, candles, etc...UGH...I hate terrorists. If I didn't have to check my shower bag, I'd have plenty of room for this carp!
Ah well...smile and wave, boys...smile and wave...
So now I've got next weekend pretty much free for myself. Little odds and ends, things like that, but now that I've got this done, I can be a beach bum until it's time to go!!
Oh, speaking of "time to go"...I tried (desperately) to explain FDM to Tony this morning...I was greeted with a completely blank stare for my troubles...
He just doesn't get it. Called it creative accounting.
I give up.
If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand...
So I have to work on my LGMH's...I haven't done that yet...YAY! A project!
Ok, I'm outta here...later gators!!
ixiedust: He's got 17 more days! 
You know it's like 1000 degrees down here now, right?! 
Hope he's feeling better already.
