How could you need all that stuff? I think the best part of traveling is the gum, as my Mom won't let me chew it otherwise. Some people travel all the time, but I think that you should spend some time at home.Madelinehttp://www.madelinesooctopuses.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-33352002457233898862010-07-03T21:17:39.594-04:002010-07-03T21:17:39.594-04:00O my gosh.. you are now my very favorite person!!!...O my gosh.. you are now my very favorite person!!!!

It's the best way. I find I work well under a certain amount of pressure. <br />It might be one of the many reasons I am now separated - the spousal unit didn't share my sense of lack of urgency, or no need for sleep.

Now I need a pair to go with my red plaid boots.<br /><br />I am a list queen. I make lists for everything, including what I am taking when we go on a trip. I start a few weeks before, one list for clothes, one for toiletries, one for shoes and jackets, and one for other random stuff (books, camera, etc.). I keep them on hand until a few days before I need to pack, and then they stay home as I start laying stuff out on the dresser that I want to take. So much to consider: what will the weather be? What activities will we be doing? If I'm going on a retreat, do I need a special outfit for one day? <br /><br />One thing I do (well used to do, as I don't travel nearly as much these days) is to have two sets of my toiletries - one for home, one for travel. The travel one may have smaller sizes of toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, but then I also have all my creams, makeup, nail polish, etc., so that I always have my favorites along.December Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685651665817753191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-9806263897359915822010-06-21T22:42:06.872-04:002010-06-21T22:42:06.872-04:00I've been doing the awesome mismatching clothe...I've been doing the awesome mismatching clothes thing before I had any use for a bra and my mom has come to call them cleaning outfits.
